If an employer requires an individual to work outside of the City, those wages are not subject to the Wage Tax, i.e. the individual is working outside of the City for the “convenience of the employer.” If an employee requests to work remotely for their convenience, wages are subject to the Wage Tax.
The wage tax, which is typically withheld from workers' paychecks, applies to all Philadelphians, regardless of where they work, and to all nonresidents who work in the city. The current rates are 3.75% for residents and 3.44% for nonresidents.
