Freelancers Union Wins Tax Cuts for Independent Workers

New York City's Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT) imposed an unfair double tax on freelancers' business AND personal incomes, draining $162 million last year alone.

Freelancers Union waged an aggressive campaign for fair taxation—urging lawmakers to tax freelancers no less—and no more—than traditional employees.

They heard our calls—and they responded, eliminating the UBT for those earning less than $100,000, and enacting a tax credit for freelancers earning up to $150,000. Individuals will save up to $3,400 this year alone.

Help us keep winning! We're still overtaxed, under–insured and unrepresented — but out victory proves that when freelancers come together, we're a powerful force for change.
