Pennsylvania Act 32

   

Just a reminder that effective January 1, 2012 employers with worksites in PA are required to withhold and file PA earned income tax from their employees. Because each township affected has different rates and the employee may live in a township different than the one worked in, the employer is obligated to withhold and file the highest rate applicable.

 

Each employer must register with the tax collection district and have each employee fill out a certificate of residency form. This is necessary to determine which tax rate the employee will have deducted from their paycheck. At the end of the year this tax will be on their W-2.

 

Employers can go to this site http://munstatspa.dced.state.pa.us/Registers.aspx for complete details on setting up and determining tax rates.

 

There is also an Act 32 Checklist for determining the rate per employee and web sites needed to fill in the forms needed. It can be found here: Act 32 Checklist.

 

For more information or if you have any questions, contact Jan Marcinkevich at 856-722-5300 ext. 402.
