Berkheimer Process to Collect Business Privilege Tax
Posted on Apr 05, 2023
Berkheimer History
Harry A. Berkheimer began collecting taxes in 1936. In 1946 he founded a modest tax collection service in Bangor, Pennsylvania, and we have been providing service to local government ever since. We have decades of experience with collection and administration of all local tax types and were the first to administer the Earned Income Tax in 1965.
Today, the Berkheimer tradition continues to prosper... Over 85 years, 18 statewide office locations, over 350 professional staff members and a state-of-the-art paperless processing system attest to our commitment and ability to provide the highest levels of service, coupled with year-after-year revenue increases for our clients statewide.
With over 2600 municipalities and boroughs utilizing our services to administer their collections, we have distributed over 1.75 billion dollars annually in each of the last 5 years to our clients, comprised of all types of ACT 511 tax collections including Earned Income, Local Services, Business Privilege/Mercantile and Per Capita Taxes.
H. A. Berkheimer’s dream continues to unfold, moving forward in step with the needs
of people throughout Pennsylvania.
