Brookhaven tax ruling shields outside earnings from local levy
Commonwealth Court ruled Brookhaven residents based in the borough do not owe the 1.5 mill business privilege tax on income earned outside Brookhaven. The decision upheld a portion of the village ordinance while rejecting a broader scope. Real estate man Neil Montella led the Brookhaven Professional and Business Association in challenging the tax, arguing it should apply only to within-borough business. The court allowed requiring copies of federal tax returns to enforce the tax but warned against double taxation if other municipalities impose similar levies. Montella said members have not paid the tax on outside-income while appealing and expressed a sense of victory for limiting the tax to local earnings.
