Charlestown Township Taxes There are three types of Township taxes. All Township Taxes are collected by the Central Tax Agency, "Centax".   Earned Income Tax Charlestown Township has a 0.5% Earned Income Tax. Since it was first imposed in 2004, all EIT funds that have been spent were used for open space acquisition and open space improvement. The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution in January of this year to do the same with the 2006 proceeds. You're required to file an annual tax return by April 15 of each year. For retirees and others with no earned income, we recommend that you return the form stating that you had no earned income, then sign your form. The Central Tax Bureau is our Earned Income Tax Collector. If you have a question or need forms sent to you, please call them at these numbers: Residents call 610-497-6030. Forms can also be downloaded from: http://www.centaxgroup.com, then click on "Centax Forms".   Emergency & Municipal Services Tax (formerly the Occupational Privilege Tax) This $10.00 tax is deducted from the first paycheck of the year from those who are employed in Charlestown Township.
