Areas we serve across New York

A sole proprietor in Borough Park may owe the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax at 4% once gross business income passes $95,000, though a credit eliminates it entirely at $3,400 or less. Four miles north in Yonkers, there is no city tax at all but a Yonkers resident surcharge of 16.75% of net state tax instead. Four miles further, Scarsdale has no local income tax of any kind.

Out east, the questions change completely. The Peconic Bay transfer tax runs at 2.5% with a $400,000 allowance on improved residential property, but only where the consideration is $2,000,000 or less. Above that the allowance disappears entirely. And whether you can let your house for a week depends on whether it sits in a town or a village, because four separate rulebooks apply across the five East End areas we cover.

One change applies everywhere: the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax threshold for the self employed rises from $50,000 for tax years 2025 and earlier to $150,000 for 2026 onward. A lot of people leave that tax this year without noticing.
