Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1.55% in the Central Columbia School District (1.05% 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 Central Columbia School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $0 to $52 a year in the Central Columbia 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 Mifflin Township (1.55% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Mifflin Township, you pay $930 a year. Working in Benton Borough (1% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $982: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Mifflin Township + Central Columbia School District) $930; Local Services Tax $52. Your resident rate is at least as high as Benton Borough's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
