CHANGE IN EARNED INCOME TAX REPORTING
FOR SELF REPORTING INDIVIDUALS
To bring the EIT more in
line with federal and state practices, Berkheimer will now be
collecting quarterly installments instead of one annual lump sum
payment.
As of January 1, 2007, individuals who do not have their EIT
withheld by their employer or are self employed will be required to
file and remit it on a quarterly basis (East Bradford rate is 1.25%). This requirement is in
accordance with the law governing local earned income taxes.
Individuals who fail to comply with the quarterly requirement will be
subject to interest and penalties on unpaid amounts.
The due dates for quarterly EIT filings are as follows:
- 1st Quarter (January 1
through March 31) - due April 30
- 2nd Quarter (April 1
through June 30) - due July 31
- 3rd Quarter (July 1
through September 30) - due October 31
- 4th Quarter (October 1
through December 31) - due January 31
In early January
2007, Berkheimer Associates will send a notification of the change in
collections to all self filers of EIT on record. In March of 2007,
Berkheimer Associates will mail estimated payment coupons to self
filers for their use when remitting quarterly payments. Questions
should be directed to Berkheimer Associates at 610-588-0965 or
