Actuall school tax is different than LEIT. Also different from local services tax, PA unemployment tax, residency tax. PA has a huge problem making this more complicated than it needs to be. In NYC (the king of high taxes I might add) there was a spot on the state tax return where you computed local taxes and added them to the total. Done. 4 lines. No fuss.

The taxes aren’t even that much here. But think about how inefficient this is. What percentage of revenue that Keystone and Berkheimer collect actually goes to where it’s supposed to, after administrative fees.

Shit my town sent me a poll tax. Everyone who lives here (not just homeowners but renters too) have to pay 10 dollars a year just for living here. But you can only pay online and there’s a 3 dollar convenience fee. Thank you Berkheimer. Can you imagine if NYC was like hey you owe 2% income tax, but btw there’s a 30% “convenience fee.” PA really needs to clean this shit up. They’d save a lot of money in the process, too.

Edit: 3 dollar fee not 3%
