This depends on where they are located and the laws of the nation, state, and local government as to whether or not they have the legal ability to tax their residents. There are also so many different types of taxes that can be imposed by different levels of government. I assume that you are talking about income taxes. Several large cities in the United States to impose income tax on their residents. The local and state legislation must be in place that allows such taxes before a city can take such action. Income taxes often times results in local businesses and wealthier residents to move outside the city limits as well as preventing new businesses and residents from moving into the cities. Many of the cities which have such income taxes are among the poorest and declining areas in the nation due at least in part to their tax and spending habits. As has been shown in the past, increases in taxation often does not result in increases in revenue for the government to spend. Once businesses and residents start to leave an area due to issues like this it is almost impossible to turn the tide back the other way.
