EARNED INCOME TAX MANDATORY WITHHOLDING
STARTING JANUARY 1, 2012

PA Act 32 of 2008 was passed to simplify earned income tax collection for employers with a place of business located in Pennsylvania. Under this Act, these employers must collect and submit this tax to a single collection agency starting 2012. Franklin Park along with 60 other taxing districts located in Northern Allegheny County formed the Northern Allegheny County Tax Committee (NACTC) selecting Keystone Collection Group as the designated collection entity.

Under Act 32 employers must withhold and remit earned income tax for every employee, on a quarterly basis. Keystone collections, will then process the payments and send the money to the designated municipality. Starting 2012 there will be NO individual quarterly payment cards sent to you unless you are self employed.

All employees should receive from their employer a resident certification form to be filed out for 2012. THE PSD CODE FOR FRANKLIN PARK IS 71-07-02 AND THE TAX RATE IS 1%.

For the calendar year 2011 you should continue to send your quarterly payments including the fourth quarter and final return that will be due in 2012 to Franklin Park Borough. Franklin Park will continue to collect 2011 and any prior year delinquent taxes at least until June of 2012.It is undetermined at this time the exact date when everything including delinquents will be turned over.

We strongly encourage you to clear up any delinquent balances to avoid additional charges and fees from Keystone for their collection efforts.

If you have any questions regarding this transition, please feel free to contact us at 412-364-4115 ext 303 or 304.

Under Borough Ordinance No. 48-66 an Earned Income Tax of 1% is levied on the gross earned income of residents. 1/2% of this tax goes to the Borough and 1/2% to North Allegheny School District. Earned Income is construed as income received as wages, or income from a business, profession or farming. It does not include interest or dividends received.

The tax is due quarterly, during the months of April, July, October and January for quarters ending on the last day of March, June, September and December respectively. The final form is due by April 15th along with proof of earnings for the year.

Exemption of quarterly payments are only for taxpayers, if not withheld, earning $5000.00 or less, which they may chose to pay when filing the final return. Earned income tax payers must still file even if there was no income for that year to keep their employment record up to date.

If you work for a employer payments will be withheld and sent to Franklin Park Borough by Keystone Collection Group. If tax is not withheld, it is your obligation to remit 1% of the gross earnings quarterly. All returns must be verified with proof of earnings at years end. You owe 1% tax only on earnings received during your residency in the Borough of Franklin Park.
