Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% in the Hopewell Area School District (0.5% 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 Hopewell Area School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $10 to $52 a year in the Hopewell 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 Hopewell Township (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Hopewell Township, you pay $652 a year. Working in Beaver Falls City (1.5% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $952: Earned Income Tax (work location's nonresident rate, Beaver Falls City) $900; Local Services Tax $52. Because Beaver Falls City's nonresident rate is higher than your resident rate, the higher rate applies.
