Learn moreA real, genuine no-EIT structural advantage
Upper Merion Township's own official page states plainly the EIT "has not been enacted" -- residents and workers owe no local EIT, only Pennsylvania's flat 3.07% state income tax on most earned income.
A real, disclosed conflicting secondary source
This record discloses, rather than omits, one lower-confidence secondary source that cited a 1% EIT -- resolved here in favor of the township's own official, higher-confidence statement.
A modest Local Services Tax and moderate property tax rate
A $52/year Local Services Tax ($47 township + $5 school district) applies, alongside Montgomery County's own effective property tax rate of approximately 1.43%.
