If you're charging your time outside of Philly the "way around" this is just correctly filling out your tax forms to accurately represent where your taxes are due to
When I was at EY, I coded all of my time to my home and for the most was able to avoid it.
I recall the reversals being more frequent than 6 months. Every few paychecks I would get a couple of hundred more because of the reversal.
I was told that any PTO was automatically coded to your home office location. The rest of your tax allocated depends on how you fill out your time sheet. If your home location is where you charge your time then you shouldn’t pay office location taxes for that amount.
This is not the case for Philly workers at KPMG. The firm is requiring this tax for anyone coded to the Philly office, even when not working in the office. I heard other Big4 did not impose this tax on their workers so trying to understand what our competitors are doing. The Philadelphia coded remote workers took a 3.4% paycut this year and nobody at KPMG seems to understand why that’s an issue.
I’m a B4 employee out of the philly office. I also live in philly though and I do have to pay city tax, if that’s what you’re asking.

Technically anyone who tries to avoid the city wage tax is breaking the law, if your office is within the city. Under the realigned covid rules, you can only avoid paying the philly wage tax if your emoloyer says you are not allowed to come into the office because of covid. "I chose to work from home," is not valid. It’s a convenience of the employer rule. Part of why it’s key to get a suburban exit opportunity when the time comes. Philly workers are some of the highest tax in the nation. I’ll put it this way: when I moved to California I received an income tax cut. That’s how bad it is.

the philadelphia resident tax is close to 4 and state is a little over 3. that adds up to 7. the median income in this country is 61.4k and your 10 percent only applies to moneys earned in excess of $312k. so the average taxpayer is much better off in california from an income tax perspective. so its not just a special situation for me, its the vast majority of people’s situations. anyway, california is very expensive writ large in other ways. so my point wasn’t that california is very cheap, just to put in perspective how bad philly is from a taxpayer’s perspective.
I’m in Philly and I’m pretty sure if you charge your time outside of the city (based on where you live or client site) you can get paid back your city taxes. Idk for sure but I worked on a client in DE and got small payments back on top of my paycheck and I think that’s what it was!
got it 👍🏼
