Upper Darby Township to consider earned income tax, again

Dated: May 30 2025

Views: 22

Upper Darby Township Council will consider a draft ordinance to repeal an existing ordinance and impose a 1% earned income tax (EIT). The new ordinance would repeal the last EIT ordinance over a technical error. The tax would apply to earned income and net profits of individuals working within the township or living in the township. The EIT is projected to raise approximately $18 million in revenue for the general fund, which is facing significant budget shortfalls. The need for the EIT arises from economic projections indicating that, without additional revenue, the township is at risk of entering a budget deficit. A public hearing on the EIT ordinance will be held on Thursday, May 8, at 6 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 100 Garrett Road. The meeting will also be streamed live on the township's YouTube channel. A copy of the draft ordinance is available as part of the April 2 council meeting documents.
