NOTICE
The City tax rate change will be revised starting January 1, 2012. The tax rate on earned income will be 1.30%. Residents who live in Shelby and work in other municipalities will no longer be allowed credit up to our tax rate. Credit will be limited to 1% on taxes withheld and paid to other municipalities. However, a .30% income tax will be withheld on all residents who have earned income regardless of what municipality they work in. This is a result of the voters of Shelby passing an income tax to build a new Justice Center. Please call the income tax office if you have questions.
Who Must File?
Shelby has a mandatory filing ordinance- everyone 18 and over is required
to file a tax return, regardless of whether they have a taxable income. If
the person is retired and has no income other than retirement (no rentals,
part time jobs, etc.) they need to mark the box on the back of the tax
form and record the date they retired, sign and date the form.
Extension
In order for Shelby to grant an extension, a copy of Federal Extension
request must be received by April 15th.
Supporting Documents
Documentation is necessary to verify all amounts of taxable income-Federal
schedules, W-2’s, 1099’s are necessary or tax return will
be considered incomplete. A net loss may not be used to offset
W-2 income.
Due Date
Shelby Income Tax Returns are due by April 15th. If filed early and
a payment is due, payment is due by this date, or penalty and interest
will accrue- $50.00 late charge for individuals, $200.00 late charge for
businesses, plus 1.00% month interest.
For the 2011 Tax Year, Shelby’s tax rate is 1.25%. A credit is allowed for up to 1.25% of taxes paid to another municipality. Starting January 1, 2012, Shelby's tax rate will increase to 1.30% with a 1% credit limit.
