hereafter allowed, and shall
become subject to all obliga-
tions of timely filing of re-

es, and of maintaining and
disclosing records, and to all
interest and penalties with
respect to such tax as he may
actually deduct, in all re-
speets. and with the same in-
cidents., as though he were a
resident employer. But no
such deduction shall obligate
such emplover to make fu-
ture deductions.
(c) Tax deducted from wasg-
es by an employer shall at all
times be and remain the
nronerty of this Borough, and
shall constitute a trust fund
in the employer's hands un-
til remitted to the Income
Tax Officer; and deduction

ment of the tax by the em-
ployee, regardless of any in-

vices as it and this Borough
may agree upon from time to
time.
Section 5. Suit For Collection
Of Tax: Interest & Penalties:
Incornoration of All Present
and Future Enabling Act
Provisions
(a) Suits for collection of
tax are hereby authorized.
and

interest and penalties”
shall be imposed, as provided
in Section 13 (VII) and (VIII)
of the Enabling Act. :
(b) Notwithstanding prior
mention in this ordinance for
convenience of reference on-
ly, of spocific sub-sections of
Section 13 of said Act, all
provisions of the entire Sec-
tion 13 of said Act, except
optional provisions specifical-
ly excluded in Section 2 (b)
of this ordinance are hereby
ance by this reference, as re:
quired by the Enabling Act.
Any provisions which any fu-
ture supplements to or ‘amend-
ments of the Enabling Act
may requre to be included in

any tax on earned income or
net profits, or any ordinance

matically become a part of
this ordinance upon the ef-
fective date of such suppel-
ment or amendment, without
the need for formal amend-
ment of this ordinance by
the Council of this Borough.
Section 6. Deductions: Losses:
Exemptions
(a) Employee’s Unreimburs-
ed Business Expenses—Busi-
ness expenses for which an
employee has not been reim-
bursed and which are deduct-
ible from wages in his Fed-
eral Income Tax Return in
computing total income,
shall be deductible in com-
puting earned income under
this ordinance.
(b) Losses — Losses incur-
red in operation of a busi-
ness shall be deductible from
earned income or from net
profits of another business in
computing the tax: but such
losses mav not be carried ov-
er to another vear.
(¢) Persons Under 16 Years
of Age—This Council finds
(1) that minors of various age
groups have traditionally,
and with judicial sanction,
been considered as compris-
ing separate classes for many
legislative purposes, and (2)
that minors under the age of
sixteen years are for the
most part unemancipated and
subject to compulsory school
attendance and child labor
laws, and therefore for the
most part so lacking in pow-
er fo earn and to have legal
control of money or property
that enforcement of reporting
and collection of tax hereun-
der against them would yield
inconsequential amounts and
would be unduly difficult, ex-
pensive, and not in the pub-
lic interest; and therefore per-
sons under the age of sixteen
vears are hereby exempted
from all liability for tax un-
der this ordinance.
Section: 7. Non-Applicability:
Severability: Construction
With Former Ordinance:
(a) This ordinance shall
not apply to any person or
property as to whom or
which it is beyond the legal
power of this Borough to im-
pose any tax or duty herein
provided for.
(b) If any section, clause,
sentence, or part of this or-
dinance is for any reason ju-
dicially determined to be un-
constitutional, illegal or in-
valid,, such determination
shall not affect or impair any
of the remaining sections,
clauses, sentences or parts
hereof; and it is hereby de-
clared to be the intent of the
Council of this Borough that
this ordinance would have
been adopted even if such
unconstitutional, illegal or
invalid portions had not been
included herein.
(¢) This ordinance, enacted o f
in order to conform to recent
changes in enabling legisla-
tion, is a re-enactment, with-
out substantial change, under
provisions of ‘The Local Tax
Enabling Act” approved Dec.
31, 1965. P.L. No. 511, of this
Borough’s similar tax ordin- |Z
ance, of 1966 enacted under
provisions of the former “Tax
Anything Law” of 1947, P.L.
1145, now repealed; and said
former ordinance and this or-
dinance (so far as relating to
earned income and net profits
for the calendar year 1966)
shall be construed as togeth-
er constituting only a single
enactment, requiring only a
single compliance with the
common requirements of both
orlinonces relating to the
taxpayers’ annual payment
and reporting of tax and to
employers’ withholding of
tax from wages and quarterly
renorting and payment of
withheld tax.
