The Village of Ada has contracted with Regional Income Tax Agency, RITA, for 2021 to assist with the collection of village income taxes. The company is located in the Columbus suburb of Broadview Heights.
In previous years the village used the services of Central Collection Agency, CCA, as its income tax agency.
RITA mailed letters to Ada residents and businesses in December. The letter follows:
Dear Ada Residents and Businesses:
Effective Jan. 1, 2021, the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) will begin collecting municipal income tax for the Village of Ada.
Formed in 1971 through the Regional Council of Governments, RITA is a governmental agency established under Chapter 167 of the Ohio Revised Code. RITA provides income tax collection and processing services for more than 300 of Ohio’s municipalities and is the largest municipal income tax collection agency in the state.
RITA’s shared services offer municipalities a comprehensive, efficient and effective solution to income tax collection that results in cost savings and increased tax collections.
The Village of Ada chose RITA for its ability to offer residents and businesses free online services and its ability to maximize the Village’s tax collection efforts.
RITA will be responsible for the administration and collection of all income taxes and will serve the Village of Ada in this capacity.
After Jan.1, 2021, all Ada tax payments and tax forms, for current and prior tax years, are to be sent to RITA.
We encourage you to utilize RITA’s free and simple online services, FastFile and MyAccount.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2021, residents will have limited access to electronic services. During this time, residents will only have access to RITA’s FastFile – no login, user ID or password is needed.
Beginning Feb. 1 residents and businesses will have complete access to RITA’s MyAccount applications. Visit ritaohio.com to access FastFile, MyAccount and tax forms.
