St. Louis Settlement Resolves Tax Dispute for Remote Workers
Legal Victory – Refunds Expected for Non-City Residents’ Earnings Taxes
According to the article by the Washington Examiner, a settlement in St. Louis ends a long fight over taxes for people who worked from home during the pandemic. Lawyers Bevis Schock and Mark Milton represented workers who asked for refunds but were refused by Collector of Revenue Gregory Daly. The court decided that non-city residents working from home don’t have to pay the city’s 1% earnings tax. Daly accepted the court’s decision and agreed to refund eligible taxpayers for the years 2020 to 2022.
