Vermont Nonresident Percentage

Employees who do not live in Vermont but work in Vermont may be subject to lower withholding tax rates if they are also employed in another state.

Square Payroll will set each employee’s non-resident percentage to 0% by default, which means that we assume the employee only worked in Vermont, and they will be taxed at the same rates as Vermont residents. However, if you know the employee only worked partially in Vermont, and earned wages in another state, you may update the non-resident percentage on the team member’s payroll profile to adjust taxes accordingly.

For example, if your non-resident employee only worked 20 out of 40 hours in Vermont (and the remaining 20 hours in another state), you would enter 50% in the non-resident percentage field.

Visit the VT Department of Taxes website for more information on non-resident withholding.
