Living here vs working here
- Where you live sets your EIT rate: 1% to 1.06% in the Wissahickon 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 Wissahickon School District's municipalities charge nonresidents 1%.

Worked example. You live in Ambler Borough (1% resident EIT) and earn $60,000. Working in Ambler Borough, you pay $652 a year. Working in Easttown Township (0.5% nonresident EIT, None LST), you pay $600: Earned Income Tax (resident rate, Ambler Borough + Wissahickon School District) $600. Your resident rate is at least as high as Easttown Township's nonresident rate, so your EIT does not change.
