If you work in a jurisdiction of which you are not a citizen, you may have to pay taxes to it. Non-resident income taxes are very common; Massachusetts, the last state where I lived, had one; so does New York State; so does New York City. It's not at all analogous to the situation of DC residents, who are US citizens, but are not represented in the national legislature. If we were all citizens of some other country, there would be parallel. And there are plenty of more sound arguments against commuter taxes anyhow. * * * John Whiteside ----- Washington DC USA ----- whiteside@mindspring.com
