The regulations document puts forth the legal terms of Philadelphia’s Wage Tax (employers), Earnings Tax (employees), and Net Profits Tax.
A separate amendment explains that the Department of Revenue can sometimes change the rules for which employers have to file and pay income taxes electronically. When changes are made, people who already file the tax will be notified. The changes will also be posted on Revenue’s website.
