   Residents of Philadelphia            3.98% (.0398)

Wage Tax is to be withheld and remitted at the rate in effect on the date of the paycheck.
For example, Wage Tax for a check dated July 1, 2008 for the period June 16, 2008 to
June 30, 2008, should be withheld at the rates effective as of July 1, 2008.  The controlling factor in determining which rate to use is the rate in effect on the date the taxable compensation is actually paid to the employee.
