 Earned Income Tax (EIT) |
 |
What is the rate of tax? The total local Earned Income Tax for Municipal residents is 1.3%. The distribution of the 1.3% is as follows: Municipality receives .8% and .5% is received by the School District.
Who is responsible to pay EIT? Any Bethel Park resident (residing in Bethel Park three months or longer) who has an earned income and/or net profits income. There are no exemptions due to age, level of income, or attendance at school. Earned Income and/or Net Profits are defined as follows:
|
Earned Income - Salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, incentive payments, fees, tips and other compensation received for services rendered, whether directly or through an agent, and whether in cash or in property.
Net Profits - The net income from the operation of a business, profession or other activity after deducting costs and expenses incurred in its conduct. Taxes based on income are not allowed as a deduction in determining net income.
What are the filing requirements and payment due dates? If your employer withholds local tax you are only required to file a final return which is due on April 15 of each year. It is important to verify with your employer that they are withholding at the current rate of 1.3%. If the proper amount of tax is not withheld, the taxpayer is responsible to pay the difference of the tax due by the April 15 deadline.
Filing Requirements - Due Dates
If your employer does not withhold local tax you must file quarterly tax returns and a final return on the following due dates:
| Period | Filing/Payment Due Date | For Months |
| 1st Quarter | April 15 | January, February, March |
| 2nd Quarter | July 15 | April, May, June |
| 3rd Quarter | October 15 | July, August, September |
| 4th Quarter | January 15 | October, November, December |
A Final Return is due April 15 and shall include all income and tax payments for the entire calendar year.
Any taxpayer who has not made quarterly payments, or if the quarterly payments were less than the total tax liability due, applicable penalty and interest will be applied to the outstanding balance and will continue to accrue until such time that all tax due is paid in full.
New residents or residents who are paying the tax for the first time should contact to be placed on the mailing list to receive quarterly and final returns.
Current residents who have previously paid the tax will automatically receive quarterly and final returns. If a resident’s employer deducts the tax, this arrangement should be verified annually to ensure the tax is being paid to the Municipality. Additionally, if a resident changes employment, arrangements to pay the tax will need to be made by the resident.
Tax return forms are available at the Jordan Tax Service office and the Bethel Park Public Library.
Earned Income Tax - Filing Requirements
Where/how is the tax paid? All tax returns/payments must be mailed or otherwise delivered to Centax, 2940 South Park Road, Suite 100, Bethel Park, PA.15102 on or before the tax due date. Tax payments may also be placed in the orange drop-box that is located at the Bethel Park Municipal Building lower parking lot (across from the flag pole).
All Municipal taxes are due on or before the established due dates regardless of whether a tax bill is received by the resident.
