61 Pa. Code § 111.4 - Limitation on credit

(a) Credit allowed. The credit allowed shall be limited to that portion of tax due under this chapter determined by applying to the total of such tax a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of the taxable income of the taxpayer subject to tax in the other jurisdiction and the denominator of which is the entire taxable income of the taxpayer.

(b) Example of limitation on credit. A resident taxpayer earns $10,000 of wages in New York State on or after June 1, 1971. New York State permits him deductions after that date totaling $2,000, and he pays after that date a total tax of $500. In addition, he has intangible capital gains of $5,000. His total Commonwealth taxable income is $15,000 ($10,000 in wages and $5,000 in capital gains) and his total Commonwealth income tax liability is $330 (2.2 % of $15,000). The credit of the taxpayer for New York income tax paid is limited to $220 (10,000/15,000 x 330). The deductions permitted in New York State have no effect upon the credit allowed in this Commonwealth. No credit will be permitted for tax withheld or paid to another state on income earned before June 1, 1971. In addition, no credit will be permitted for tax withheld or previously paid to another state which is subsequently determined an overpayment and which is then refunded.
