West Virginia State Withholding

The State of West Virginia adjusted its tax withholding table effective January 1, 2007 and is requiring employers to provide employees with a copy of the revised West Virginia Withholding certificate; Form WV/IT-104.

Central Payroll will send letters along with a new withholding form to WV residents’ home addresses on February 14^th, 2007 to inform them of this new requirement. We are requesting that the employees complete the “Employee Withholding Allowance Certificate for State of Maryland Employees Residing in West Virginia” and return it to Central Payroll by March 9^th, 2007 for Regular payroll; March 14^th, 2007 for UM payroll; and March 16^th, 2007 for Contract payroll.  This will allow CPB time for processing the new forms in time for the implementation dates listed below.  If the employee does not return the form, their WV withholding rate will be based on the higher rate as required by law.

The implementation schedule for three payroll systems is as follows:
RG – PPE March 13, 2007 with a pay date of 3/21/07.
UM – PPE March 17, 2007 with a pay date of 3/23/07.
CT – PPE March 20, 2007 with a pay date of 3/28/07.

Please ensure that the new “Employee withholding allowance certificate for State of Maryland employees residing in West Virginia” form is used by WV residents, effective immediately.

For your convenience the new form  is available on Central Payroll Bureau’s website.

If you have any further questions, you may call any of the payroll operations staff at 410-260-7401.
