Yonkers resident income tax surcharge and nonresident earnings tax
The Yonkers resident income tax surcharge and the Yonkers nonresident earnings tax
have been extended through tax years ending on or before December 31, 2007. Under previous
law, these taxes would have expired for tax years beginning after 2005. In addition, effective
January 1, 2005, the Yonkers resident income tax surcharge has been increased from a rate of 5%
to a rate of 10% of the net state tax and the Yonkers nonresident earnings tax has been increased
from a rate of .25% to a rate of .5% of wages and net earnings from self-employment. However,
the new law provides that the underpayment of estimated tax penalty will not be imposed on the
portion of any underpayment for tax year 2005 that is attributable to the increase in the rates.
