The St. Louis Collector of Revenue, Gregory F.X. Daly, announced an extension for remote workers to apply for refunds of the city's 1% earnings tax, originally designed for in-person tax obligations.
This initiative arose from a lawsuit involving six workers denied refunds for remote work during the pandemic; the city will cover costs with a $26 million budget allocation.
As of August, the city had paid out nearly $11 million in refunds, highlighting the financial impact of remote work tax policies during COVID-19.
The 1% earnings tax represents the largest share of general revenue for St. Louis, prompting city officials to explore additional income sources.
