Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1.6% in the Carlisle Area School District (1.1% 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 Carlisle Area School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $52 a year in the Carlisle 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 Carlisle Borough (1.6% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Carlisle Borough, you pay $1,012 a year. Working in Newville Borough (2.5% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $1,552: Earned Income Tax (work location's nonresident rate, Newville Borough) $1,500; Local Services Tax $52. Because Newville Borough's nonresident rate is higher than your resident rate, the higher rate applies.
