The metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax (MCTMT) is a tax imposed on certain employers and self-employed individuals engaging in business within the metropolitan commuter transportation district (MCTD). This department administers the tax for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. (The MCTD includes the counties of New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester.)
Previously, the New York Court of Appeals unanimously ruled April 4, 2000 that the city's commuter tax is unconstitutional because it had been applied since last summer to out-of-state workers but not to residents of New York state who work in the city. Neighboring workers can get a refund of commuter taxes they have paid since July 1, 1999. That day was when the New York legislature ended commuter tax collection on state residents.
