In
Pennsylvania, the General Assembly has empowered political
subdivisions of the Commonwealth, at the local level, to levee,
assess, and collect certain types of taxes for general revenue
purposes. The authority for levying these non-realty taxes was
granted to local school districts and municipalities in 1965
through the passage of the Local Tax Enabling Act (LTEA),
commonly referred to as ‘Act 511’. The rate of tax for
Doylestown Township and Central Bucks School District is one
percent (1%) and is levied on gross wages and/ or net profits
from a business or profession.
Keystone Collections Group is the appointed earned income tax officer
for Doylestown Township and Central Bucks School District. As
the appointed earned income tax collector, they are charged with the duty of administering the Township’s and
school district’s taxes. This includes collecting the tax,
establishing rules and regulations to fairly enforce such tax
and creating accurate tax records and accounts for each
taxpayer.
Most Bucks County area employers have received an
important packet of information regarding EIT and the selection
of Keystone Collections Group as the county wide earned income
tax collector beginning in 2011. Keystone provides all the
necessary forms, links to information and payroll instructions
for business owners on its website at:

Most resident taxpayers will have this tax deducted by their
employers. Although, if you work in a jurisdiction where it is
not withheld, or your are self-employed, you will have to pay
the tax directly to Keystone. Your completed
registration form will be forwarded to Keystone,
who will create an accurate tax account reflecting your correct
reporting status and send you the necessary tax forms.
We
appreciate your cooperation in completing the registration form.
Kindly refer to the
earned income tax FAQ for general questions and answers
about the earned income tax. If you have any additional
questions, you may contact Keystone Collection Group
