Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% in the Laurel 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 Laurel School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0%.
- The LST follows your job: $0 a year in the Laurel School District's municipalities, charged by where you work and split across paychecks.
Worked example. You live in Hickory Township (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Hickory Township, you pay $600 a year. Working in New Castle City (1.271% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $814.60: Earned Income Tax (work location's nonresident rate, New Castle City) $762.60; Local Services Tax $52. Because New Castle City's nonresident rate is higher than your resident rate, the higher rate applies.
