How local tax is withheld in Clarion County
Under Act 32, your employer withholds the higher of two rates: your total resident rate (where you live: municipality plus school district) or the nonresident rate where you work. It is taken from the same pay as Pennsylvania income tax, so a traditional 401(k) does not lower it. (DCED Act 32 FAQ)
The Local Services Tax is charged where you work, up to $52 a year in most places, split evenly across your paychecks. Where it is over $10, anyone earning under $12,000 a year there can stop it by giving the employer an exemption certificate. 1 municipalities here also have a low-income exemption from the earned income tax (for example Madison Township, under $12,000 a year); it is claimed by applying to the tax collector, so it is not applied in the calculator.
