EARNED INCOME TAX CHANGES

With the passage of Act 32 in 2008 there are significant changes coming to the collection of Earned Income Tax.  There will now be one tax collector per county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The exception is Allegheny County, which will have four collectors – one being the City of Pittsburgh and the other three separated by the three rivers.

West Deer Township’s Earned Income Tax will be collected by Keystone Municipal Collections beginning with the tax year 2012.

A major requirement of this law is that employers must now deduct the earned income tax for their employees.  Your employer will be asking you to complete a Certificate of Residency that you must complete and return to them.  They will be asking for the West Deer Township Political Subdivision Code (PSD) which is 710303 and the tax rate for West Deer Township/Deer Lakes School District (DLSD) which totals one percent (1%).   Failure to provide your employer with the proper PSD code will result in lost revenues for the Township and your earned income tax being paid to another taxing jurisdiction.  If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact Keystone Municipal Collections at www.keystonecollects.com or the Township at 724.265.3680.
