Employers located in Vermont or out-of-state employers with employees working in the state are required to withhold Vermont income tax from Vermont residents or from residents of other states working in Vermont. As a convenience to their employees residing in Vermont, out-of-state employers with no activities in the state may withhold Vermont income tax from the wages earned out-of-state by these employees.
