(A) Deposits not taxed at the source shall be listed and assessed at their amount in dollars on the day they are required to be listed. Moneys shall be listed and assessed at the amount thereof in dollars on hand on the day that they are required to be listed. In listing investments, the amount of the income yield of each for the calendar year next preceding the date of listing shall, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, be stated in dollars and cents and the assessment thereof shall be at the amount of such income yield; but any property defined as investments in either division (A) or (B) of section 5701.06 of the Revised Code that has not been outstanding for the full calendar year next preceding the date of listing, except shares of stock of like kind as other shares of the same corporation outstanding for the full calendar year next preceding the date of listing, or which has yielded no income during such calendar year shall be listed and assessed as unproductive investments, at their true value in money on the day that such investments are required to be listed.

Credits and other taxable intangibles shall be listed and assessed at their true value in money on the day as of which the same are required to be listed.

Shares of stock of a bank holding company, as defined in Title 12 U.S.C.A., section 1841, that are required to be listed for taxation under this division and upon which dividends were paid during the year of their issuance, which dividends are subject to taxation under the provisions of Chapter 5747. of the Revised Code, shall be exempt from the intangibles tax for the year immediately succeeding their issuance. If such shares bear dividends the first calendar year after their issuance, which dividends are subject to taxation under the provisions of Chapter 5747. of the Revised Code, it shall be deemed that the nondelinquent intangible property tax pursuant to division (A) of section 5707.04 of the Revised Code was paid on those dividends paid that first calendar year after the issuance of the shares.

(B) For tax years before tax year 2009, boilers, machinery, equipment, and personal property the true value of which is determined under division (B) of section 5711.21 of the Revised Code shall be listed and assessed at an amount equal to the sum of the products determined under divisions (B)(1), (2), and (3) of this section:

(1) Multiply the portion of the true value determined under division (B)(1) of section 5711.21 of the Revised Code by the assessment rate for the tax year in division (G) of this section;

(2) Multiply the portion of the true value determined under division (B)(2) of section 5711.21 of the Revised Code by the assessment rate in section 5727.111 of the Revised Code that is applicable to the production equipment of an electric company;

(3) Multiply the portion of the true value determined under division (B)(3) of section 5711.21 of the Revised Code by the assessment rate in section 5727.111 of the Revised Code that is applicable to the property of an electric company that is not production equipment.

(C) For tax years before tax year 2009, personal property leased to a public utility or interexchange telecommunications company as defined in section 5727.01 of the Revised Code and used directly in the rendition of a public utility service as defined in division (P) of section 5739.01 of the Revised Code shall be listed and assessed at the same percentage of true value in money that such property is required to be assessed by section 5727.111 of the Revised Code if owned by the public utility or interexchange telecommunications company.

(D)(1) Merchandise or an agricultural product shipped from outside this state and held in this state in a warehouse or a place of storage without further manufacturing or processing and for storage only and for shipment outside this state, but that does not qualify as "not used in business in this state" under division (B)(1) or (2) of section 5701.08 of the Revised Code, is nevertheless not used in business in this state for property tax purposes.

(2) Merchandise or an agricultural product owned by a qualified out-of-state person shipped from outside this state and held in this state in a public warehouse without further manufacturing or processing and for temporary storage only and for shipment inside this state, but that does not qualify as "not used in business in this state" under division (B)(1) or (2) of section 5701.08 of the Revised Code, is nevertheless not used in business in this state for property tax purposes.

(3) As used in division (D)(2) of this section:

(b) "Public warehouse" means a warehouse in this state that is not subject to the control of or under the supervision of the owner of the merchandise or agricultural product stored in it, or staffed by the owner's employees, and from which the property is to be shipped inside this state.

(E) Personal property valued pursuant to section 5711.15 of the Revised Code and personal property required to be listed on the average basis by division (B) of section 5711.16 of the Revised Code, except property described in division (D) of this section, business fixtures, and furniture not held for sale in the course of business, shall be listed and assessed at twenty-three per cent of its true value in money for tax year 2005 and at the percentage of such true value specified in division (G) of this section for tax year 2006 and each tax year thereafter.

(F) All manufacturing equipment as defined in section 5711.16 of the Revised Code shall be listed and assessed at the following percentage of its true value in money:

(1) For all such property not previously used in business in this state by the owner thereof, or by related member or predecessor of the owner, other than as inventory, before January 1, 2005, zero per cent of true value;

(2) For all other such property, at the percentage of true value specified in division (G) of this section for tax year 2005 and each tax year thereafter.

(G) Unless otherwise provided by law, all other personal property used in business that has not been legally regarded as an improvement on land and considered in arriving at the value of the real property assessed for taxation shall be listed and assessed at the following percentages of true value in money:

(1) For tax year 2005, twenty-five per cent of true value;

(2) For tax year 2006, eighteen and three-fourths per cent of true value;

(3) For tax year 2007, twelve and one-half per cent of true value;

(4) For tax year 2008, six and one-fourth per cent of true value;

(5) For tax year 2009 and each tax year thereafter, zero per cent of true value.

(a) For tax year 2007, twenty per cent of true value;

(b) For tax year 2008, fifteen per cent of true value;

(c) For tax year 2009, ten per cent of true value;

(e) For tax year 2011 and each tax year thereafter, zero per cent of true value.

(2) The property owned by a telephone, telegraph, or telecommunications company shall be apportioned to each appropriate taxing district as provided in section 5727.15 of the Revised Code.

(I) During and after the tax year in which the assessment rate equals zero per cent, the property described in division (E), (F), (G), or (H) of this section shall not be listed for taxation.

(J) Divisions (E), (F), (G), and (H) of this section apply to the property of a person described in divisions (E)(3), (4), and (5) of section 5751.01 of the Revised Code. Division (J) of this section does not prevent the application of the exemption of property from taxation under section 5725.25 or 5725.26 of the Revised Code.
