As an employer, you need to pay attention to local taxes where your employees work. If the local income tax is a withholding tax, then you are required to withhold it from employee wages. Or if the local income tax is an employer tax, you must pay it.
What do I do if my employer will not give me a W 2?

What do I do if my employer does not withhold taxes?
Employees who are concerned that their employer is improperly withholding or failing to withhold federal income and employment taxes should report their employer by contacting the IRS at 800-829-1040.
Do you have to pay local income tax if you work for an employer?
Worked in a city without local income tax and lived in a city WITH local income tax. Her employer was not withholding this local income tax and is saying it was her responsibility to pay it when filing taxes. We used TurboTax that year, 2014, and TurboTax did not catch it either?
What happens if my employer does not take out enough taxes?
No matter your reason for not paying income taxes, you’re almost always the responsible party. If your employer doesn’t take out enough taxes, you’ll likely have to pay them yourself when you file your tax return. However, you have some recourse if your employer deliberately misclassified you as an independent contractor instead of an employee.
Is it illegal for a union to picket an employer?
With the exception of lawful picketing, secondary industrial action is unlawful. Therefore, unions cannot lawfully call or threaten a strike, or other industrial action, by workers of an employer not directly involved in the dispute. Lawful picketing is the only form of secondary action that is lawful.
How does an employer find out if an employee is in the correct municipality?
Using the information generated by the Address Search Application, complete the Residency Certification Form for each employee, and save a copy in the employee’s personnel file. This form allows the employee to verify that the employer is withholding the correct tax rates for the correct municipalities.
