Need help finding out more about withholding city income taxes? This guide provides you with helpful information about withholding taxes. We guide you through determining if you need to withhhold.
You will need to withhold if you are an employer who meets any of the following:
-
If you have a location in the city
-
If you are “doing business” in the city, even if you don't have a location in the city.
-
If you have locations both in and out of the city. In this case you'll need to withhold for those working and/or living in the city.
-
You have an employee who lives and works in the city, but is temporarily assigned to work outside of the city.
-
If your business is a nonprofit organization you’ll need to withhold, even if your business is exempt from income taxes.
