Nannies and NY Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax

Many of our New York based household (nanny) employers are receiving literature pertaining to the NY Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax.

Household employers are NOT subject to the NY Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax. A household employer is one who hires one or more people to provide services (childcare, housekeeping, companionship) in and about their private home.

This tax applies to all employers who are legally obligated to withhold (deduct) income taxes. Household employers are specifically exempted from the obligation to collect income taxes from their household workers (nannies, maids, housekeepers, elder caregivers, etc.) under Federal and NYS law.
