Paying city wage taxes to work in the city isn’t just Detroit. Philadelphia does it as well. Pittsburgh, in lieu of a percentage if you live in the city, charges non-city residents working in the city a flat annual fee.

New York tried to go one step further several years back, repealing the city income tax for NYC residents but preserving it for people who worked in the City and lived elsewhere. We called it the “commuter tax.”

It was struck down by the courts, and NYC eventually went back to taxing everyone who works there.
