Earned Income
On or before April 15 of each year, individuals subject to this tax are required to file an annual return (including a copy of their W-2 or 1099 form, etc) reporting earned income (i.e. salaries, wages, etc.) and net profits (i.e. net income from operation of a business, profession, etc.) for the preceding calendar year.

The tax rate for Boggs Township residents is 2.55%.  This reflects a joint levy of .5% by Boggs Township and 2.05% by the Bald Eagle Area School District.  The nonresident tax rate is 0.5% plus the current tax levy rate of their home school district.

If you are an employee, your employer is not likely required to withhold this tax each pay period.  The withheld tax is sent to the Bald Eagle Area Wage Tax Office by your employer.  If your employer is not withholding the tax and you wish to do so, ask them to give the Bald Eagle Area Wage Tax Office a call.

Emergency and Municipal Services Tax (EMST)
The tax rate has been levied at a maximum rate of $52.00 per annum.  This tax is imposed on any individual with earnings for services rendered of any kind within the boundaries of Boggs Township.  The tax applies whether you are an employee or self employed.

Employers located both within Boggs Township and outside the Township have specific responsibilities for withholding and remitting this tax for all individuals in their employ who work within the Township.

This tax is remitted to the Bald Eagle Area School District Wage Tax Office when earnings exceed $12,000 per annum as of 1/1/08.  The School District shares $5.00 of this tax.  Contact the Bald Eagle Area School District Wage Tax Office for additional information on this tax.
