Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% in the Chichester 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 Chichester School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $52 a year in the Chichester 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 Lower Chichester Township (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Lower Chichester 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 Lower Chichester 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.
