What's happening and who it impacts

Mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, and new leadership are pushing for higher corporate and high-earner taxes. If you operate in NYC, your effective tax rate could jump above 20%. These proposed tax changes affect nearly every business operating in or earning income from New York City. Not just big corporations.

You need to pay attention if you or your biz fall into any of these categories:

NYC-Sourced Revenue

Your business earns revenue from NYC clients, sales, or payroll, including SaaS, agencies, finance, creative, recruiting, healthcare, hospitality, and other service-based industries.

High-earning owners & partners

You or your partners take significant owner compensation (W-2, distributions, or dividends) that could trigger the new high-earner surcharge.

NYC-filing entities

You operate as a C-corp, S-corp, partnership, or LLC that files city or state business taxes.

Multi-state or remote teams

You have a remote or multi-state team, but part of your income is sourced to NYC

How you could be affected

If your business fits one of these categories, the new proposals could increase your effective tax burden by 3–5% or more — often without you realizing it.

Here’s what that can look like in practice:

Higher effective tax rate

City and state layers stack, pushing total rates above 20% for profitable startups.

Less take-home for founders

New high-earner surcharges may apply to salaries, W-2s, and distributions.

Reduced runway

Every extra percent in tax can translate to weeks or months of lost runway if you’re burning cash.

Complex filings

Multi-state or service-based companies risk over-sourcing income to NYC, paying more than they owe.

In short

If any part of your books, team, or sales run through NYC, you’ll want to model your exposure before rates move.
