Local Income Tax Information
Frequently Asked Questions about Act 32 and Local Earned Income TaxATTN Tax Officers: DCED lacks the legal authority to extend the statutory local filing and payment deadline of April 15. Local governments may wish to consult with their solicitors on whether and how they might explore alternatives to waive interest and/or penalties for local tax filings and payments that are made on or before May 17, 2021, which is the extension for filing federal and state taxes.
Employers with worksites located in Pennsylvania are required to withhold and remit the local Earned Income Tax (EIT) and Local Services Tax (LST) on behalf of their employees working in PA.
