What employers withhold

Pennsylvania employers withhold local earned income tax at the higher of two rates: the total resident rate where the employee lives, or the nonresident rate where they work. For someone who lives and works in Perry, that's 1%: about $500 a year on $50,000 of wages. Report the employee's PSD code on Form W-2 and on the quarterly return to the collector.

The local services tax (LST) of $5 a year is withheld from people who work in Perry, usually in equal amounts each pay period, unless the employee expects to earn less than $1,000 here this year.
