Pennsylvania law permits the collection of delinquent taxes, such as local earned income tax, per capita or occupation tax, by wage garnishment. By law, employers must withhold and remit not more than 10% of the employee’s gross earnings per pay period until the delinquent balance is satisfied. Keystone will notify the employer in writing when the balance is satisfied. If your employee disputes the underlying tax balance, they must contact Keystone.
Keystone provides a user-friendly online service for viewing, paying, or responding to wage garnishment notices. You can access this service at Business.KeystoneCollects.com. New users must create an account. Once logged in, use the information contained on the Wage Attachment Notice that you received for your employee.
