WHO PAYS BREWSTER INCOME TAX ?

WHAT INCOME IS TAXED:

 

            1. The wages, salaries, and other compensation earned from an employer in                                            Brewster is subject to the Village Income Tax

            2. The wages, salaries, and other compensation earned by a resident that is   
                   not subject to an Income Tax levied by another municipality.  Also applicable is                               the difference for any compensation in a community that has a lower tax rate
                   than Brewster.  For example, a Village resident works in community “A” that has
                   a 0.5% income tax rate.   The resident would owe taxes on wages and so forth to  
                   Brewster for the difference Brewster 1.0% and “A”s 0.5%.   There are very few 
                   municipals with a lower tax rate than 1.0%.

            3. Net profits of any business operating in the Village are subject to the    
                    Village Income Tax

            1. Anyone under 18 years of age does not pay Village Income Tax

            2. Private Retirement benefits are not taxed

            3. Social Security Pensions are not taxed           

            4. Proceeds from Annuities are not taxed

            5. Unemployment benefits are not taxed

            6. Proceeds from Insurance are not taxed

            7. Sick or Accident Benefits are not taxed

            8. Damages from Personal Injury are not taxed
