Ohio's top court to hear arguments on promotions tax dispute

The Ohio Supreme Court plans to hear arguments in a dispute over promotions including bobbleheads and other items offered by the

Cincinnati Reds to ticket buyers.

At issue is whether the Reds are exempt from paying tax on the purchase of the promotional items.

Attorneys for the Reds argue they don't have to pay tax because they resell the promotional items as part of the ticket package.

Ohio law exempts companies from paying tax on items they buy to resell.

The state tax commissioner says the promotional items should be taxed because the Reds bought the items as giveaways and they aren't

selling them with the tickets.

The state Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for Wednesday morning.
