Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% in the Pottstown 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 Pottstown School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $52 a year in the Pottstown 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 Pottstown Borough (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Pottstown Borough, you pay $652 a year. Working in Alsace Township (1% nonresident EIT, None LST), you pay $600: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Pottstown Borough + Pottstown School District) $600. Your resident rate is at least as high as Alsace Township's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
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 Pottstown Borough 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.
