Repeal of NJ-PA Reciprocal Agreement
By Neil Becourtney, CPA
CohnReznick LLP
Since 1977, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have had a reciprocal income tax agreement in place whereby wage income earned by a resident of either state who worked in the other state was not subject to nonresident income tax, and the employer was required to withhold home state income tax.
|
So, a New Jersey resident working in Pennsylvania would not be subject to PA tax on their wages, and the PA employer would withhold NJ income tax. Likewise, a PA resident working in New Jersey would not be subject to NJ taxes on their wages, and the NJ employer would withhold PA income tax.
On September 2, Governor Christie announced that he was ending the reciprocal tax agreement effective for 2017. It has been estimated that the Garden State will reap $180 million in annual revenue as a result of the reciprocal agreement being terminated. This is due to the fact that high wage earners who reside in PA but work in New Jersey will become subject to New Jersey income taxes with a top rate of 8.97% imposed on income above $500,000. The PA personal income tax is imposed at a flat rate of 3.07% at all income levels.

Here are a few key tactics that will allow you to make the most of your networking opportunities and garner valuable connections:
1.
Set a time limit. Instead of staying for an entire event, stay for an amount of time to which you are willing to commit...half an hour to an hour.
2. Practice active listening. When you ask a question, listen. We have two ears and one mouth and we should listen twice as much as we speak. Many people tend to fall into the trap of "self" listening. This occurs when we hear something that triggers a thought that we'd like to share and look for an opportunity express. While we're thinking of what we want to say, we are no longer listening and have missed most of what the other person is saying. If the person who is speaking knows they have lost you...you have lost to opportunity to make a sincere connection.
3. Practice every day. The more you network, the easier it gets.
