This will amount to nearly $1000 per month! Payroll has been inconsistent and vague in responding to my questions on the application of this tax. I will change bases to avoid paying this if it is my only choice.
Why don't you talk to a tax professional out there? I mean you're making $28,500 a month...or is 116 credit at the topped out rate keeping you too busy?
Also, from what I've heard, its a city tax. If you work in the city you pay the tax, kind of like Denver's BS tax
