Earned Income Tax

The Township levies an Earned Income/Net Profits tax of 1% of gross compensation and net profits. One half of this one percent collected from residents is turned over to the East Penn School District. Earned Income Tax is usually withheld by your employer, and will appear as a payroll deduction for local or city tax.
 
THE EARNED INCOME TAX IS COLLECTED BY BERKHEIMER TAX ADMINISTRATOR.

To contact, call 866-701-7206 or go to their website- www.hab-inc.com for information.  On Berkheimer's website, you can e-file your annual earned income tax or print, complete and mail the tax form.

Berkheimer Tax Innovations developed a mobile app (BerkApp) to help make filing your local taxes easier and more convenient than ever.
