Pennsylvania local payroll
Who collects Pennsylvania local earned income tax
Under Act 32, an employer does not remit local EIT to the municipality. It remits to the tax collector appointed for that municipality's collection district. There are 14 of them for 2,564 municipalities, and 78.9% of the state is served by just two: Berkheimer Tax Administrator and Keystone Collections Group.

Before you choose a collector
Find your next step
Start with what you know. A collector's size in this directory does not tell you whether it serves your address.
I only have an address
Have the employee's home and work addresses ready. Look up the PSD codes and local tax details before choosing a name from the table.
Start with an address →I know the collector's name
Open its directory entry to browse the municipalities it serves. The “Files with” column links to the collector's own website.
Browse the collector table →My records show something different
Recheck the exact addresses in DCED's official lookup and save its report. Ask the listed collector to resolve a mismatch before changing payroll records.
Confirm with DCED →Keep the address report with your payroll records. DCED's employer instructions explain how to use it to identify the appropriate collector(s) and complete registration. This directory is a dated reference; confirm current details before filing.
The collector is only half the answer: withholding follows the address-level PSD code, and a municipality can span more than one school district. Confirm the exact PSD in DCED's lookup before payroll. For the statewide rate picture, see Pennsylvania local income tax rates.
