Keystone Collections Group Schedules Informational Seminars
Employers can learn about changes to the earned income tax collection system beginning next year.
Keystone Collections Group, the tax collector chosen by the Allegheny Southeast Tax Collection Committee, will provide employer seminars throughout the area to explain state mandated changes to the earned-income tax collection system.
Next year, the system throughout the state will change due to the Earned Income Tax Collection Consolidation Act—Act 32 of 2008—which reduces the number of earned income tax collectors to no more than 69.
Currently, there are 560 different tax collectors, according to the state Department of Community and Economic Development.
The Allegheny Southeast tax collection district includes Plum, Oakmont, Verona, the Plum School District and the Riverview School District.
Keystone Collections Group, which is based in Irwin, will begin tax collection under the new system on Jan. 1.
