Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% in the Blue Mountain School District (0.5% school district share plus each municipality's own share), on all your wages wherever you work in Pennsylvania.
- Where you work can raise it, never lower it: your employer withholds the higher of your resident rate and the work municipality's nonresident rate (Act 32). The Blue Mountain School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0% to 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $10 to $52 a year in the Blue Mountain School District's municipalities, charged by where you work and split across paychecks; waived below $12,000 in earnings where adopted.
Worked example. You live in Auburn Borough (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Auburn Borough, you pay $610 a year. Working in Albany Township (1% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $652: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Auburn Borough + Blue Mountain School District) $600; Local Services Tax $52. Your resident rate is at least as high as Albany Township's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
