Effective January 1, 2012 all State of Pennsylvania Employers will be required to withhold your local Earned Income Tax from your paycheck. This is NOT a new tax or tax increase, but a change in the way the current tax will be collected due to a change in state law. The local earned income tax will remain 1% (0.5% Green Tree; 0.5% Keystone Oaks).

What do you need to do?

1. All employees are required to file a Residency Certification Form with their employer. Click here to download a Residency Certification Form for Green Tree Borough. Your employer should be providing you this form as well.


2. The form must include the 6-digit Political Code (PSD Code). The Green Tree PSD Code of 730903. This code is important as it ultimately determines which municipality receives your Earned Income Tax.


3. Self-Employed? If you are self-employed or employed out-of-state, you are required to file with Jordan Tax Service. Contact Jordan at 412-835-5243 or 724-731-2300.
