Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1.45% to 1.55% in the West Shore School District (0.95% 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 West Shore School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 0.5% to 1%.
- The LST follows your job: $0 to $52 a year in the West Shore 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 Fairview Township (1.45% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Fairview Township, you pay $922 a year. Working in Harrisburg City (1% nonresident EIT, $156 (waived under $24,500) LST), you pay $1,026: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Fairview Township + West Shore School District) $870; Local Services Tax $156. Your resident rate is at least as high as Harrisburg City's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
