Act 32 - Local Earned Income Tax Withholding Reform Becomes Effective Statewide January 1, 2012

REMINDER - Each business that employs individuals at worksites in PA, including those who work from home, is REQUIRED to withhold the applicable local earned income tax from employees´ wages and remit the tax to the appropriate tax officer.

Under Act 32, employers are required to withhold the higher of the employee´s resident earned income tax amount (rate of total resident EIT where they reside) vs. the employee´s municipal non-resident earned income tax amount (rate of non-resident EIT where they are employed). Employers are required to obtain information in the Residency Certification Form for every new employee and employee who has a change of address.
