Tax Information

The following is a guide to what taxes are charged, when you can expect a bill, and what entity is the collector.

Earned Income Tax (EIT) is assessed at a rate of .5 percent.  Any wage earner who lives in or works in Penn Township owes this tax.  Usually, employers withhold this tax from a wage earner’s paycheck.  Whether it is withheld or not, the tax is owed and a local tax form must be filed.

Local Services Tax (LST) is $52.00 per year and is usually withheld by the employer.  This tax supports municipal and emergency services.  There is a low income exemption for people earning less than $12,000.  This exemption requires the submission of a form.

Avon Grove School District taxes are sent on July 1 of each year.  As of 2018, Avon Grove School District taxes are collected through Keystone Collections.

EIT, LST, and Avon Grove School District taxes are all collected by Keystone Collections.

Chester County Real Estate and Penn Township Real Estate taxes are collected by the Chester County Office.
