As part of the law to allow expansion of gambling in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia receives an infusion of revenue to reduce the Wage Tax, which will drop to 3.6% for residents and 3.25% for non-residents by 2013. This recommendation is now the law of the land. IN THE WAKE OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCAIL CRISIS OF 2008, THE SCHEDULE WAS ALTERED AND THE WAGE TAX IS TO BE REDUCED TO 3.7974% FOR RESIDENTS AND 3.3546% FOR NON-RESIDENTS BY 2014. IF ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IMPROVE, THIS TIMETABLE MAY BE ALTERED.

I just got the offer. It wasn't what I expected. drm604 Apr 2013 #4

Is this a center city location? discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2013 #5

It's a center city location, but I'd be paying for parking in Norristown and taking the train in. drm604 Apr 2013 #7

It may be cheaper to drive to Philly and park there. discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2013 #8

If I'm reading that right, I can only get the parking pass if I also buy a TransPass drm604 Apr 2013 #9

A rush hour drive on the sure-kill distressway, can't you just feel the love? discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2013 #11

BTW discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2013 #6
