Living here vs working here

- 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 Galeton Area School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0% to 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $0 to $10 a year in the Galeton Area School District's municipalities, charged by where you work and split across paychecks.
Worked example. You live in Abbott Township (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Abbott Township, you pay $600 a year. Working in Clymer Township (1% nonresident EIT, $10 LST), you pay $610: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Abbott Township + Galeton Area School District) $600; Local Services Tax $10. Your resident rate is at least as high as Clymer Township's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
