TAX OFFICE CHANGES
THE DUNMORE BOROUGH/DUNMORE SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT STARTING 2012 TAX YEAR, THE LOCAL EARNED INCOME TAX WILL BE COLLECTED AND ADMINISTERED BY BERKHEIMER ASSOCIATES.
THE DUNMORE TAX OFFICE WILL STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 4TH QUARTER 2011 EARNED INCOME TAXES, DUE BY JANUARY 31, 2012; 2011 FINAL EARNED INCOME TAX RETURNS, DUE BY APRIL 15, 2012; AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL LOCAL SERVICE TAX (LST) AND BUSINESS PRIVILEGE TAX.
THIS CHANGE IS A RESULT OF STATE LEGISLATION (ACT 32), THAT REQUIRED THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE COLLECTION OF EARNED INCOME TO A COUNTY TAX COLLECTION DISTRICT. THE TAX RATES AND ALL FILING DATES WILL REMAIN THE SAME. (THIS IS A CHANGE IN THE COLLECTOR ONLY). HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES IN THE EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS. FOR MORE DETAILS, VISIT THE BERKHEIMER WEBSITE HERE.
THE DUNMORE TAX OFFICE WILL TRY TO KEEP ALL EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES UP TO DATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU
