Is Yonkers income tax taken out of my paycheck automatically?
Employers withhold it based on the address on your New York withholding certificate. If your employer does not withhold it, you still owe it when you file your New York return, so check the local line on your pay stub after a move.
Why is Yonkers tax shown as a percentage of state tax instead of a rate?
Because that is how the tax is written. Yonkers residents owe 16.75% of their New York State income tax, so someone whose state tax is $6,000 owes about $1,005 to Yonkers. Expressed against income the rate is not fixed: it is higher for high earners, whose state effective rate is higher, and lower for low earners.
