Not sure of the specifics because I directly engage in not putting myself in this situation where I would be required to pay this tax ;) I believe I've heard that anyone leasing or owning a dwelling anywhere in NYC would pay 3-6% of their yearly income depending on how much they make to NYC. On top of their rent/property tax of course :) That is why many of us choose to live in Jersey City or Nassau/Suffolk county, where in exchange for a longer commute (no problem thanks to COVID-19 now) you pay less taxes and get a bit more air to breathe and less garbage on the streets. As for living in Yonkers and paying the Yonkers local tax, well, I am not sure why anyone would live in Yonkers ;)
