 PSD Codes

  • Political Subdivision (PSD) Codes List - Due to changes in Pennsylvania's Earned Income Tax legislation under Act 32 of 2008, the PSD codes have been formulated to designate each of the 69 tax collection districts, along with the school districts and municipalities therein.  Act 32 of 2008 requires that employers and tax officers utilize political subdivision (PSD) codes prescribed by DCED.  PSD codes have been designed to identify the municipalities and school districts for each tax collection district and aid in ensuring that employee Earned Income TAx withholdings are remitted and distributed to the proper taxing authority.  Legislation requires all taxing authorities that implement an Earned Income Tax to comply with all applicable regulations by January 1, 2012.  Tax Collection Districts may opt for early implementation by January 1, 2011.  For more information regarding Act 32 of 2008, please click the link for DCED's Act 32 EIT Collection System. 

 EIT/PIT/LST Tax Information

  • EIT/PIT/LST Tax Registers are the official sources of withholding information for employers and are maintained by the Governor's Center for Local Government Services.  The Registers list each taxing jurisdiction's earned income tax and local services tax rate, tax collector name and contact information, 6 digit municipality identification numbers, 6 digit school district identification numbers, Tax Collection District name and the Political Subdivision (PSD) codes.  Information from this site will show withholding rates and tax collector information for all municipalities within a selected county boundary along with rate and tax collector information for school districts associated within each of the municipalities within a particular county.

    The EIT/PIT/LST Tax Registers also include an Address Search (System Requirements: Internet Explorer; Pop-Up Blocker MUST be disabled) function which provides the municipal and school district tax rates for both home and work location addresses.

    To require employer withholding of a new EIT or LST rate on January 1, municipalities and school districts must notify DCED by December 1, by submitting the Tax Information Form along with a signed copy of the ordinance or resolution.  To require employer withholding of a new EIT or LST rate on July 1, school districts and municipalities must notify DCED by June 1, by submitting the Tax Information Form along with a signed copy of the ordinance or resolution.
