Google, are there any cities in Alabama that have a city income tax?
Look at these crime infested liberal shite holes that charge city taxes on income
According to the Alabama League of Municipalities, around 25 local municipalities impose these privilege or occupational tax rates:
• 2% Rate: Attalla, Gadsden, Glencoe, Rainbow City, Southside, and Tuskegee.
• 1.5% Rate: Opelika.
• 1% Rate: Auburn, Bear Creek, Bessemer, Birmingham, Brilliant, Fairfield, Guin, Hackleburg, Haleyville, Hamilton, Leeds, Lynn, Midfield, Mosses, Shorter, and Sulligent.
Because government taxes are collected in multiple forms, you really can't look at just one method within a geographical area and determine it's an unfair or high tax rate. It's complicated and not necessarily a Dem vs Pub issue.
No doubt that large cities have to spend more money on government services and infrastructure to support large populations vs people that live out in the country with very few government services.

I don't even know why the city would care anyway. It seems like they ultimately got paid on what he owed and the company then voluntarily reimbursed (presumably from somewhere out of the City of Detroit) what he got docked for having to do a three month stint there.
At worst, there may be some de minimums IRS implications in that, but you have to be reading a lot into his little blurb to assume he fraudulently skirted whatever needed to be reported there.

They voted for it. No sympathy from me.

Or people are just born in a place where these things exist and it's their home with their family and friends and they have to live with it if they want to stay home.

WTF are you talking about?
I merely pointed out they committed tax fraud. I did not opine on the validity of the tax or their avoidance of it

You don’t know why a city would care that a company is committing tax fraud in said city?

Explain how so exactly, based purely on what the guy posted.

One more reason why I love living in an unincorporated area. No bitch asses trying to make a name for themselves by governing others in the local area.

If a company is taking a nontaxable expense to cover taxable income (ie illegally avoiding paying tax), I can assure you with 100% certainty every taxing jurisdiction will care if they become aware of it

I'm pretty sure I paid a Birmingham income tax when I lived there.
At one time they had a work tax. If you worked in BHM you got taxed. There was a lawsuit and it went away. We got checks back for a few dollars. Hell yeah!

yes. of course, they call it an occupational tax.
I don't even live in the city. but I used to be able to get a library card like a resident. I could possibly access other services as well, but just never tried.
EDIT. UPDATE. According to Gemini, library card is the only "benefit" I'm eligible for.

I lived in Philly for 11 months, it's a little over 3% if I remember.
A lot of the big employers in the metro area build suburban offices in West Chester, King of Prussia, Delaware, or New Jersey and other places to get around paying it. You actually see just as many people commuting to the suburbs as people going into Philly.

Urban areas subsidize rural areas.

I work in payroll.
LOTS of cities have payroll income tax.
Now states are also implementing their own FMLA laws where the states pay the employee.
This is funded by a payroll deduction EE and ER as well.
