So if I move my car for alternate side that is exempt? The 90% reduction in London is a tax credit at the end of the year, they bill them all year and residents have to file to get it back. I'm not happy getting wacked to plug a hole in the state budget to find the very mismanaged MTA. I already pay an extra state income tax surcharge just for being a Manhattan resident. This 'fee' is a regressive flat tax.
