Local governments in Pennsylvania are authorized to impose a variety of local taxes, such as the earned income tax and the local services tax. PA Act 32, which became effective January 1, 2012, requires employers to deduct from payroll the greater of the employee’s resident tax (where the employee lives) or the employee’s nonresident tax (where the employee works). Cabrini College resides within the municipality of Radnor Township where currently there is no Earned Income Tax (EIT). Therefore, effective January 2012, payroll will begin withholding resident EIT from employees who reside in municipalities with an Earned Income Tax. Needed for the implementation of this new legislation is the completion of the Certificate of Residency form by all College employees. The Certificate of Residency provides information identifying the political subdivisions where an employee lives and works. You are required to complete this form now, and again only if you move. Please complete the Certificate of Residency and return it to the Payroll Office. This form is also available in the Payroll and Human Resources offices, and online under Payroll Forms. Please remember that the Certificate of Residency must accompany any change-of-address notification.
Should you have any questions regarding the implementation of PA Act 32, please contact Frances Conwell, Manager of Payroll (610-902-8278, fconwell@cabrini.edu). |
