Learn how to track NY MCTMT in QuickBooks Payroll.
NY MCTMT is an company-paid tax for businesses within the NY Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD). There are two separate zones for wage tracking and reporting.
Understand the zones and employer obligations
NY MCTMT applies to you if:
- You're required to withhold New York State income tax from wages; and
- Your payroll expense for covered employees in the MCTD exceeds $312,500 for both zones in any calendar quarter
NY MCTMT calculates based on an employer's total payroll expenses (wages and compensation) in any calendar quarter. Maximum rates vary by zones and total payroll expense, as seen below.
Zone 1 counties: New York (Manhattan), Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, and Richmond (Staten Island)

Over $375,000 but not over $437,500 | .23% (.0023) |
Over $437,500 | .60% (.0060) |
Zone 2 counties: Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester.
