A one percent (1%) municipal income tax
is imposed upon anyone who earns income in the Village of
Johnstown, as well as
residents who earn income elsewhere but are not taxed within
the district in which they work.
An
offsetting credit up to one-half percent (0.5%) is available
when income tax has been paid to another
municipality.
Estimated quarterly payments are
required when local income tax is not automatically
withheld from income.
