Please use the following information as necessary. If you are an employer with a history of payroll in Pennsylvania you have probably already obtained the local IDs and online accounts necessary for OnPay to process your tax filings.
Where to enter your tax rate
Already have this information? Here's where you can enter it:
In the Payroll tab, click Set up, then Payroll Taxes.
Note: If you pay employees in multiple states, you'll find each state listed under "Payroll Taxes". Select a state to enter your state tax information.
Don't see "Set up" in the Payroll tab?
If you haven't updated to the newest version of OnPay's navigation menu, look for "Payroll Taxes" in the Company tab. More about nested navigation→
Scroll down to the "Local Taxes" section. Cities where you have employees will appear here. Enter your Local Withholding Tax ID(s) and SUI rate(s).
How to determine where local tax (EIT and LST) should be paid
In Pennsylvania there are multiple Tax Services, and which one you pay your local taxes to depends on the work location of your business and the resident address of each employee.
Sound complicated? That's okay, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development has a tool to show you which Tax Collector Service your Local Taxes will need to be paid to, based on Township, Borough and School District.
Keep in mind that a calculator's only as true as the information you enter, so be sure to use the exact mailing address when determining this liability. An incorrect or incomplete address will affect our ability to calculate the appropriate locality when withholding and paying taxes.
