What is a Manhattan Parking Tax Exemption?
Manhattan Parking taxes are 18.375% for all parkers. However, if your vehicle is registered to a Manhattan residence, you may be eligible for a partial tax exemption, which reduces your applicable taxes to 10.375% for monthly parkers. To qualify, you need proof of a Manhattan residence and a copy of your vehicle registration card.
*Please note that tax certificates can cover up to two years from the start date. To continue receiving the tax benefit, you must renew your certificate before the expiration date.
*Please note that tax certificates are vehicle and garage specific. If you change vehicles or move garages you will need to update your tax certificate and receive a new copy from the City to continue receiving the tax reduction.
What do I need to apply for a Manhattan Parking Tax Exemption?
- Your Social Security Number
- A copy of your vehicle’s registration (not temporary)
- A proof of residence (i.e. utility bill)
- The garage’s consumer affairs license number (click here for garage license numbers)
I received my Parking Tax Certificate. How do I get the lower taxes?
Once you receive your Manhattan Parking tax exemption from the City, you can either drop it off at the garage or send a photo to one of the following emails: info@gmcparking.com or ar@gmcparking.com. Once we receive a copy, we will update your account and lower the tax rate on your monthly invoice.
Can I get tax credit for past periods?
Because of delays in the application process or complications in getting your certificate, you may receive your certificate a month or longer after applying. GMC can provide up to 3-4 months of back credit, contingent on the tax certificate start date covering the period(s). To get the credit, you must submit your tax certificate to us via email (info@gmcparking.com or ar@gmcparking.com) or at the garage level. Upon receipt of your certificate, we will automatically give you back credit – assuming your certificate information is valid. Back credit will appear on your next month’s statement after submission as a credit.
