Upper Darby Township is considering enacting a 1% local earned income tax (EIT) starting in 2024. The township estimates that the new tax would bring in $9 million of revenue in its first year. “The EIT is part of a multi-pronged financial strategy to secure the future of Upper Darby which includes the implementation of the realty transfer tax two years ago, the inclusion of third parties to manage delinquent taxes and fees and the business privilege tax as well as a stronger project and purchase bidding process which has resulted in higher revenues and lower costs over the last four years,” said Mayor Keffer.
