1. Each employer within the Township and each employer situate outside the Township who engages in business within the Township, is hereby charged with the duty of collecting the tax from each of the employees engaged by the employer and performing work for the employer within the Township. Each person subject to the tax shall be assessed a pro rata share of the tax for each payroll period in which the person is engaging in an occupation.
2. The pro rata share of the tax assessed on the person for a payroll period shall be determined by dividing the combined rate of the local services tax levied for the calendar year by the number of payroll periods established by the employer for the calendar year. For purposes of determining the pro rata share, an employer shall round down the amount of the tax collected each payroll period to the nearest 1/100 of a dollar.
3. Employer collection of the local services tax shall be made on a payroll period basis for each payroll period, beginning with the first payroll period in which the person is engaging in an occupation.
4. No employer shall be held liable for failure to withhold the local services tax or for the payment of the withheld tax money to the Township if the failure to withhold taxes arises from incorrect information submitted by the employee as to the employee’s place or places of employment, the employee’s principal office or where the employee is principally employed.
