In the case of the residents of the Village of Edgerton an annual tax of one percent (1%) is imposed on all salaries, wages, commissions other compensation earned or accrued on and after January 1, 1972. For the purpose of determining the tax on the earnings of the resident taxpayers, taxed under Section 181.02(a), the source of the earnings and the place or places in or at which the services were rendered are immaterial. All such earnings, wherever earned or paid, are taxable.
The following are items which are subject to the tax:
(a) Salaries, wages, bonuses or incentive payments received by an individual, whether directly or through an agent and whether in cash or in property, for services rendered on and after January 1, 1972.
(1) As an officer, director or employee of a corporation (including charitable and other non-profit corporations), joint stock association or joint stock company;
(2) As an employee (as distinguished from a partner or member) of a partnership, limited partnership, or any other form of unincorporated enterprise owned by one or more persons;
(3) As an employee (as distinguished from the proprietor) of a business, trade or profession conducted by an individual owner;
(4) As an officer or employee (whether elected, appointed or commissioned) of a governmental administration, agency, arm, authority, board, body, branch, bureau, department, division, subdivision, section or unit of the State of Ohio or any of the political subdivisions thereof;
(5) As an officer or employee (whether elected, appointed or commissioned) of a governmental administration, agency, arm, authority, board, body, branch, bureau, department, division, subdivision, section or unit of the United States Government or of a corporation created and owned, or controlled by the United States Government or any of its agencies;
(6) As an employee of any other entity or person.
(b) Wages, bonuses, or incentive payments received by an individual, whether directly or through an agent and whether in cash or in property, for services rendered on and after January 1, 1972.
(1) Whether based upon hourly, daily, weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, annual, unit of production or piece-work rates; and
(2) Whether paid by an individual, limited partnership, partnership, association, corporation (including charitable and other non-profit corporations), governmental administration, agency, arm, authority, board, body, branch, department, division, subdivision, section or unit, or any other entity.
(c) Commissions received by a taxpayer whether directly or through an agent and whether in cash or in property, for services rendered on and after January 1, 1972, regardless of how computed, by whom or wheresoever paid.
If amounts received as a drawing account exceed the commissions earned, the tax is payable on the gross amounts received.
Amounts received from an employer by way of expenses and not by way of compensation, and used as such by the individual receiving them, are not deemed to be compensation if the employer deducts such expense advances as such from his gross income for the purpose of determining his net profits taxable under the Ordinance.
If such commissions are included in the net earnings of a trade, business, profession, enterprise or activity regularly carried on by such individual and therefore subject to tax under Section 181.02(c), they shall not again be separately taxed. In such case, such net earnings shall be taxed as provided in Section 183.11.
(d) The receipt of fees and other compensation for personal services rendered shall be deemed to be subject to taxation under the Ordinance.
(e) Domestic servants are subject to Edgerton tax under the Ordinance but are not subject to withholding provisions. That is to say, the domestic will report earnings and pay the tax directly to the Edgerton Income Tax Department.
