Langhorne Manor Borough Council is considering the enactment of an earned income tax (EIT) that will take effect in January 2026 to bolster township revenues. The borough advertised a notice in error on Aug. 13, and noted that a corrected notice will be advertised shortly. Borough officials have posted more information about the EIT on the borough website. Act 511 of 1965 allows Pennsylvania municipalities and school districts to levy a local EIT on individuals’ gross earned income or compensation and net profits, up to 1%, with exceptions. According to Langhorne Manor’s information, 94% of the state's municipalities (2,408 of 2,562), including 92.72% in Bucks County (51 of 55), utilize EIT as a revenue source to offset property taxes. The borough estimates it will receive a maximum of $317,156 in additional revenue from an EIT. Watch the Langhorne Manor Borough website for more information.
