NEW TAX COLLECTION LAW EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2012

Pennsylvania Act 32 mandates fundamental changes in the way your business does its payroll.   Under Act 32 all companies in Pennsylvania are now required to collect local Earned Income Taxes from all of their employees and remit them to a new consolidated tax agency.

As an employer you are now responsible to:

1. Have ALL employees complete a Certificate of Residency form
2. As of January 1, 2012 deduct local Earned Income Taxes from all employees
3. Transmit tax payments and prescribed taxpayer information to (Agency/Bureau Name),   collector for the new Bedford County Tax Collection District that includes:

BEDFORD COUNTY	HUNTINGDON COUNTY
Broad Top Township	Hopewell Township
Coaldale Boro	Broad Top City Boro
Liberty Township	Dudley Boro
Saxton Boro	Todd Township
	Carbon Township
	Coalmont Boro
	Wood Township

Failure to comply may result in significant fines, penalties and interest being levied against you as an employer.   In addition, you as an employer can be held responsible for the payment of your employee’s taxes.

To help employers transition to the new tax collection system, Bedford County Tax Collection Committee has arranged for a number of educational seminars.   Please go to www.nbcsd.org/bedfordcountytcc   for additional information about these Act 32 seminars or call (814) 635-3670.
