Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1.4% in the Shippensburg Area School District (0.9% 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 Shippensburg Area School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0% to 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $10 to $52 a year in the Shippensburg 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 (1.4% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Hopewell Township, you pay $850 a year. Working in Newville Borough (2.5% nonresident EIT, $52 (waived under $12,000) LST), you pay $1,552: Earned Income Tax (work location's nonresident rate, Newville Borough) $1,500; Local Services Tax $52.
