property taxes
It will depend on where you reside as to what taxes are withheld. Federal Withholding taxes, FICA taxes, and Medicare taxes are the federal taxes that are withheld. Most people will also be effected by State taxes and some will even have to pay city or county income taxes along with the other taxes.
Taxes pay for the operation of the government as well as public services such as schools, police, social services, roads, etc. Most governments in the US will at least show you the percentages of taxes spent on major areas, and also will tell you the total revenues, so you can get a rough estimate of expenditures. Check the webpage of the government you are interested in.

All levels of government have their own type of funding to pay their expenses. The federal government uses mostly income and excise taxes. City and county governments mostly use property taxes. Some cities use a sales taxes in addition to property taxes. States vary. Some states, like Oregon, use primarily income taxes and don't have a sales tax. Other states, like Florida, use mainly sales taxes and don't have an income tax. Most states, use a combination and have both income and sales taxes. Some states only tax businesses and not individuals, like Alaska who gets tax income from corporations and businesses only and doesn't have a sales tax. Many states also have other types of taxes in addition to their main source of taxes (use, luxury, lodging, etc). This is how these various levels of government get their income to operate and run programs, provide services, and pay employees.
In most states, businesses are not exempt from taxes.

It would help if you specify what country you are asking about. In the US, it seems to me that these would be a) property taxes and b) sales taxes (presuming you are including county government as "local" since counties often impose sales taxes). As a Canuk, my only local government is city government, and the city raises capital through residential and business property taxes. Development levies (which are not really a tax) are also imposed on new development and the government also gets support from the provincial government.
Most activities or funding for other projects.
The answer is NOT city ;)
