City Council Supports Fair Taxation for Freelancers

This week, the New York City Council voted on a Home Rule Message to allow lawmakers in Albany to pass legislation that would help thousands of freelancers. The City Council voted in favor of a proposal that would exempt freelancers earning under $100,000 from having to pay the Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT), with a credit for those earning up to $150,000. Now, it's up to the state legislature to pass this legislation. Urge your legislators right now to support fair taxation for freelancers.
