02Tax considerations in Manhattan
Manhattan-specific tax facts that shape our work
What makes Manhattan different from the other four boroughs — from CRT to real-estate carry.
Commercial Rent Tax
6% on Manhattan tenants south of 96th Street
CRT applies to commercial tenants below 96th Street paying $250,000+ in annual rent. It doesn’t apply anywhere else in the city — Manhattan clients need to plan for it or lose margin.
RPTT
Real Property Transfer Tax
Manhattan carries the highest NYC-specific transfer tax burden. We handle RPTT calculations, exemptions, and compliance for buyers, sellers, and inter-family transfers.
NYC + NY State income tax
Layered rates at high brackets
Manhattan residents pay federal + NYS + NYC income tax. High earners hit the top NYS bracket quickly, and NYC adds another 3.876% at the top.
Equity compensation
RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, RSAs
Tech, finance, and startup professionals in Manhattan hold complex equity comp packages. Cost-basis errors and AMT surprises are common — we plan around both.

From the record
On Manhattan tax work done thoughtfully
“We do work 7 days a week during tax season. And when we don’t have tax season, I make sure to move around people’s schedule so they can at least have some quality of life while being able to serve the clients when they need to be served.”
George Dimov, CPA
“Really excellent services year after year! I own a small business and do other freelance on the side and the team takes care of me each year to ensure I don’t overpay.”
