The E.I.T.C. also collects a $52.00 Local Services Tax from residents employed within the district. This tax is collected quarterly. Individuals who earn an annual earned income of less than $12,000 from net profits and earned income within each taxing jurisdiction will not be liable for the tax. An Exemption Form must be completed and returned to the tax office eack year in which the taxpayer believes his/her income will be less than $12,000. In the event the tax is paid and the income limit is not met, a refund will be processed by the tax office providing propoer procedure is followed. TheExemption Form can be found on the web www.southbutler.org under the tab Tax Information, or at the tax office. In a joint venture to make the administration of this tax simplified, all municipalities within and the South Butler County School District formed the Earned Income Tax Committee over 25 years ago. This committee has representatives of the taxing bodies serving on its board, and set policies and procedures for the implementation and collection of the tax. They are also charged with the task of appointing the Earned Income Tax Collector.
