City Wage Tax Refund

Non-residents of Philadelphia who work for Jefferson entities located within the City of Philadelphia must pay city wage taxes. However, if an employee is off-campus and out of city limits for work related duties (conferences, meetings, etc.), the employee may claim exemption from city wage taxes for those particular days. Please complete a Request for City Wage Tax Refund and submit it to the Payroll Office. This form may be duplicated from this manual or reproduced on your own word processing system.

Instructions:

  1. Fill in the calendar year for which a refund is requested.
  2. Provide the employee’s name, social security number, employee I.D. (found on the employee’s PAF or paycheck), department, work extension and home address.
  3. Record the date, location and reason for each day worked outside of city limits.
  4. Have the form signed and dated by the employee.
  5. Have the form signed and dated by the department head.
  6. Forward the original to the Payroll Office. Maintain a copy for your records.

Requests may be filed quarterly. All requests for a calendar year should be submitted by the first week of December. Any requests for refunds after the first week of December must be filed directly with the City of Philadelphia.
