Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 0% in the Wayne Highlands School District (0% 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 Wayne Highlands School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0%.
