Local officials prepare for new way of collecting taxes

Local officials are cautiously optimistic about the new countywide tax collection system that will move into development this fall.

The state law known as Act 32 will reduce 560 taxing authorities (representing 2,900 municipalities and school districts) to a mere 69 by mandating that earned income taxes be collected on a countywide basis except in Allegheny County and Philadelphia. Because of their size, each of the latter will feature multiple districts; Allegheny County will have four, representing the north, south, east and central areas.
