ROSELAND, N.J., Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP®, a leading
provider of human resource outsourcing, payroll services, tax and
compliance services, benefits administration and integrated
computing solutions for vehicle dealers, today affirmed it is fully
prepared to help its clients meet the new earned income tax
withholding and tax payment and reporting requirements established
by Pennsylvania Act 32 (PA Act 32), which takes effect beginning
with paychecks dated January 1,
2012.
"As is the case with payroll changes in local, state and federal
legislation, rules and regulations, ADP has deployed a specialized
team of tax, policy, legal and product development experts across
ADP's business segments to assess and modify all necessary systems
and processes to help clients comply with the new requirements of
PA Act 32," said Wendy Seyfert, vice
president of ADP's agency relations.
In anticipation of the new requirements, ADP has been offering
clients and accountant business partners ongoing guidance and
instruction through multiple forums, including periodic legislative
and regulatory updates housed on ADP's web site
(http://www.adp.com/tools-and-resources/legislative-updates.aspx).
Since passage of PA Act 32 in 2008, ADP has closely monitored
all relevant legislative developments and has since continued to
engage key stakeholders throughout the Commonwealth. These
include the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic
Development and the 21 earned income tax collectors that represent
Pennsylvania's 66 counties and 69
tax collection districts.
"ADP will continue to ease the burden of our clients' tax filing
obligations by processing or determining the applicable tax rate
for the political subdivision codes, when provided by the client,
withholding the tax, remitting tax payments and filing required
quarterly and annual returns to the appropriate collector," added
Seyfert.
ADP acknowledges that employers with multiple worksite locations
throughout Pennsylvania, or
employers with consolidated filings, may opt to file monthly
employee-level wage detail and remit monthly EFT payments to a
single county collector. Regardless of the employer's choice,
ADP will meet PA Act 32 requirements and file required quarterly
and annual returns to the appropriate collector.
ADP clients may contact their local client service team for
additional information or call 1 800 CALL ADP.
About Pennsylvania Act 32 of 2008
Pennsylvania Act 32 of 2008 reforms the Earned Income Tax
Collection System for local governments and school districts
covered by the Local Tax Enabling Act. As of January 1, 2012, the Earned Income Tax Collection
System will be restructured into 69 Tax Collection Districts (TCD),
predominately based on county boundaries. The collection of
taxes for each TCD will be handled by a "certified" tax collector
designated by Pennsylvania's
Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).
Employers must fully implement the changes contained in Act 32
beginning on January 1, 2012.
