Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% to 3.75% in the Chester-Upland School District (0% 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 Chester-Upland School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1% to 2%.
- The LST follows your job: $52 a year in the Chester-Upland 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 Chester Township (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Chester Township, you pay $652 a year. Working in Chester City (2% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $1,252: Earned Income Tax (work location's nonresident rate, Chester City) $1,200; Local Services Tax $52. Because Chester City's nonresident rate is higher than your resident rate, the higher rate applies.
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 Chester Township 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.
