Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% to 1.15% in the Boyertown Area 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 Boyertown Area School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $10 to $52 a year in the Boyertown Area 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 Boyertown Borough (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Boyertown Borough, you pay $652 a year. Working in Alsace Township (1% nonresident EIT, None LST), you pay $600: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Boyertown Borough + Boyertown Area School District) $600. Your resident rate is at least as high as Alsace Township's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
Commuting to Philadelphia. Working in Philadelphia, you pay the city's nonresident Wage Tax instead of your home EIT (your home EIT is credited with it, and any excess is still owed). From Boyertown Borough on $60,000 that is $2,056.49 a year: Philadelphia Wage Tax (nonresident) $2,056.49. Philadelphia has no LST. See Philadelphia Wage Tax.
