An Act amending the act of December 31, 1965 (P.L.1257, No.511), known as The Local Tax Enabling Act, in consolidated collection of local income taxes, further providing for definitions.

HB 206 amends Pennsylvania's Local Tax Enabling Act to clarify the definition of "earned income" for local income tax purposes. It specifies that employee business expenses reported to the Department of Revenue under the Tax Reform Code can be deducted when calculating earned income, while explicitly excluding military wages (and spouses living outside PA), business loss offsets, and clergy housing allowances. This change directly affects Pennsylvania residents paying local income taxes, particularly those in the excluded categories. The bill modifies how local governments calculate taxable income but does not create new taxes or alter tax rates. (Bill: HB 206, Section 501 amendment)
