Yes. In most instances, your bill will list exemptions that apply in your taxing district. Exemptions vary by taxing district. Not all taxing districts offer exemptions to the per capita or occupation taxes.
In general, the following exemptions apply to most taxing districts:
Exemption Reason | Acceptable Documentation |
Age – Under 18 years old as of January 1 of the tax year | Birth certificate or valid driver’s license |
Deceased | Death certificate or obituary |
Non-resident/moved prior to January 1 of the tax year | Lease, deed or utility bill from new jurisdiction |
If you qualify for an exemption, you must file an exemption request every year.
Current per capita and occupation tax exemption requests can be filed online using Keystone’s e-Pay.
Delinquent per capita tax exemption and occupation tax exemption require a form to be submitted with supporting documentation and returned to Keystone via mail.
