Effective January 1, 2013, the Regional Income Tax Agency also known as R.I.T.A. will begin collecting income taxes for the Village of Wellington. Council chose the Regional Income Tax Agency for its ability to offer residents and businesses free on-line filing and payments and to maximize the Village’s tax collection efforts.  R.I.T.A. will be responsible for the administration and collection of all income taxes and will serve as an Agent of the Village of Wellington in this capacity.

After January 1, 2013, all Village of Wellington tax payments and tax forms, for current or prior tax years, are to be sent to R.I.T.A.  We encourage you to utilize R.I.T.A.’s electronic filing and payment system as it is fast and simple to use, and it is secure and free.  The system will be available for your use beginning February 15, 2013.  R.I.T.A.’s website is www.ritaohio.com.

For those wishing to utilize mail, the remittance address for their secured lockbox center is:

R.I.T.A.
P.O. Box 477900
Broadview Hts, Ohio 44147-7900


Village of Wellington residents will receive a welcome letter within the next couple of weeks which will explain the process in detail.  Also, a 2012 individual filing reminder will be sent by the end of January 2013.  Business accounts will receive 2013 Withholding forms and a 2012 Net Profit return by the end of January 2013. 

Also, per Ordinance #2012-42 passed tonight, anyone whose sole source of income is exempted from Village income taxes such as retirees will only need to file a one-time exemption with RITA and then will no longer be required to file a return.
