Local Taxes
Local taxes are an even further extension of the federal income
tax withholding, just on the local level. Businesses that
operate in a particular state will generally be able to access
information their particular locality through their state's
revenue office. Taxes withheld on the local level will not
usually require a separate form. Local government entities will
generally require that you file a copy of the state form with
their local offices. Employers will generally file W-2
information and the information return accompanying W-2's with
the IRS, the applicable state agency, and then with each
necessary local level. Actual tax deposits are generally made on
the state level, and each state revenue office will transmit
local taxes to the proper tax office. There is no social
security or Medicare tax withheld at this level and usually
there are no unemployment taxes withheld at the local level.
Businesses are liable for withholding and reporting of the wages
earned by each employee, and the timely filing of such
withholding and reporting just as at the federal and state
level. Quite often, however, the local offices will require only
an information return, as transmittal of actual tax withholding
will come from the applicable

state. Local tax rates are even
lower than those of the state level, and sometimes are referred
to as a permit tax. Some cities charge a flat fee for employees
to come into their city and work, especially if they reside
outside the city limits or in another city altogether. Small
businesses can refer to their individual states' Department of
Revenue, Department of Industrial Relations, Employment offices,
or Small Business Administration for direction and assistance in
complying with all state and local laws. Additional information
may be obtained thru the IRS website at www.irs.gov
. There are numerous publications that
provide direction and instructions for small businesses such as
IRS Publication 15, Circular E Employers Tax Guide, and links to
individual state and local websites.
