and Indiana.
EXAMPLE: Taxpayer earned wages of $10,000.00 in Delaware and paid an income tax liability to that state of $317.00.
Assuming the current Pennsylvania state tax rate is 3.07% for the tax year in question, since the $317.00 exceeds 3.07% (PA
Tax) amount of $307.00 by $10.00, the $10.00 may be credited against your local income tax.
Gross Income (1) $10,000.00
Local tax rate as specified on front of the form x .01
(2) 100.00
Tax paid to Delaware (3) 317.00

or the amount on Line 2 of worksheet,
whichever is less
If all your wages or gross earnings are subject to Delaware State Income Tax (not PA), use the above example to complete
your tax obligation on Worksheet located on the reverse side of the tax return. If you had earned income NOT taxed by Delaware,
this income would be subject to the earned income tax effective in your district and must be shown separately on the Local
Earned Income Tax Return. You may not use any tax paid to another state as credit on earnings outside the other state.
CREDIT FOR TAXES PAID TO POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OUTSIDE OF PENNSYLVANIA: You may take a credit based
