Local Services Tax
All individuals who physically work within the borders of Penn Township and earn income from that work are subject to the $52.00 Local Services Tax. Unlike the previous EMS Tax, this is on all sources of earned income. In most cases, this is deducted by your employer.
There are exemptions to the Local Services Tax described on Pennsylvania's website: http://www.newpa.com/local-government/tax-information/local-services-tax. Look for the "Up-Front Exemption" and "Military Exemption."
