Wage tax
2010 Local Tax Returns should be filed with Christine Fuller by April 15, 2011
For 2011 the Tax Office is no longer the collector of wage tax within Allegheny Township for the Township or Kiski Area School District. This is a result of early implementation of Act 32 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which has required all taxing entities within the state to move to a countywide tax collection system for wage taxes. The new collector is Berkheimer Associates as the result of submitting a successful proposal to the countywide Tax Collection Committee which resulted in their selection and subsequent appointment to this role.
Berkheimer Associates can be reached at the following:
Berkheimer Tax Administrator
Wallace Building - Room 109 - 41 Macek Drive
Pittsburgh, PA 15227 412-881-3075 or Toll Free 1-800-360-8989

Please note that currently residents are receiving letters from Berkheiner verifying taxpayer information, please do not ignore this letter and make applicable changes if necessary and send the form back to Berkheimer. If there are no changes to be made then simply discard the letter, you are not required to send it back.
