Earned Income Tax (EIT) Information

Annual Tax Return Requirement

Any person who resides in Lancaster County during any part of a given year and who received either earned income or net profits during that year is required to file a Local Earned Income & Net Profits Tax Return with the Lancaster County Tax Collection Bureau (LCTCB) for that year. There are no exceptions to the requirement; you must file a return even if you filed quarterly returns for the year, your employer withheld the tax from your paycheck, and even if you do not owe any tax. 

In Warwick Township, the Earned Income Tax rate is 1.15%.  The Lancaster County Tax Collection Bureau collects this tax and it is generally due at the same time as the Federal & State Income Tax Returns, which is on or before April 15 of the year following the reporting year.
