I skipped out on Philly wage tax when I moved to Los Angeles... 6 years later and I've never heard anything of it. Maybe their enforcement has gotten better since then, but city taxes are typically a breeze to skip out on. When I moved to LA I discovered the city tax code here, which gives you a bunch of reasonable exemptions, particularly if you make less than $100k gross you don't pay city business taxes. New businesses are also exempt their first year. And if you screw it up the city will actually have a friendly conversation with you about it and try to help. Can't picture that ever happening in Philly haha But honestly, politicians have been telling people for years they are getting rid of the wage tax and it never happens. Its just a huge insult to the workers and small businesses that are trying to make the city a better place to live. There has to be a better way to restructure taxes in philly.
