In response to difficulties encountered by many students this past year relating to unclear knowledge of Connecticut and New Haven tax policies, we offer the following tax information in hopes of preventing similar confusion in the future.

Please visit the following links for specific details on tax policies.

Yale Tax Office Website: www.yale.edu/tax

NH Tax Collector: http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/TaxCollector/PropertyTax.asp

Income Tax: See the University Tax Office website above for information on state & US taxes as they apply to fellowships & teaching. Filing federal & state individual income tax returns is the personal responsibility of each graduate & professional school student. Students who are not US citizens should consult the additional info at the site for additional International Tax information & resources.

Other taxes: CT has local sales taxes on most goods & services, with the exception of food at grocery stores. You may also be responsible for paying city property vehicle tax in the CT town in which you live - see the NH tax collector web page above. Note that by state law, property tax is assessed when you maintain a vehicle in the local town or city, whether or not it is registered in the state of CT.
