Taming the Dragon — A Practical Guide to
The Pennsylvania Local Earned Income Tax*

Compiled by Robert W. Ditmer, CPPWhat Are the Exceptions?

The two major exceptions, as we have mentioned earlier, are the School District of Pittsburgh and the City of Philadelphia. Under Act 511 employers are not required to withhold the EIT based on where the employee lives. However, as of 1994 Pennsylvania state law requires all Pennsylvania employers to withhold the Pittsburgh School District Tax from all residents of the School District regardless of where they work, and all Pennsylvania employers must withhold the Philadelphia City Wage Tax from the earned income of Philadelphia residents.
