Carbon: common questions
What is the local tax rate in Carbon?
Every one of the 23 municipalities in the Carbon Tax Collection District levies 1% on a resident's earned income for 2026. Your PSD code still differs by municipality, and your employer needs the code rather than the rate.
Who collects local earned income tax in Carbon?
Berkheimer Tax Administrator. Act 32 appoints one collector for each Tax Collection District, so residents of all 23 municipalities here file and pay through Berkheimer Tax Administrator rather than with their own township or borough. Their site is www.hab-inc.com.
