Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% to 2.7% in the Pittston 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 Pittston Area School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0.5% to 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $52 a year in the Pittston 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 Pittston Township (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Pittston Township, you pay $652 a year. Working in Scranton City (1% nonresident EIT, $156 (waived under $15,600) LST), you pay $756: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Pittston Township + Pittston Area School District) $600; Local Services Tax $156. Your resident rate is at least as high as Scranton City's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
