I believe OPT (usually $10) is different from the Occupation
Tax (which may be a flat tax for everyone earning over $5k
or so, or based on job title, usually imposed by the school
district).

Try this link:

If you run the "Tax Rate Summary Report", you can look
through the different PA municipalities and find out what
taxes you may be subject to by living/working in that
municipality.

If you can't find the information there, you can run a
search on the tax collector in your area, and they might be
able to help.

Most localities are raising the local tax rate for all
instead of this occupational based tax. Some of my clients
have saved money, others have not, but now it is a payroll
tax and they don't see it go out, not a send me a check tax,
so either way, it does not hurt as much physically.

The Central Bucks School District (Bucks County, PA) used to
have this tax. Assuming it's also a school tax in
Collegeville, you can call either the school district or
your local tax collector.

ASK for the assessment list BEFORE you give out title.

There sometimes can be big differences over small words and
you want to pick the best words/lowest tax class that fits!.

It varies with each locality. You may have to call your
local tax collector.

Does anyone have any info on this tax? The rate is something
to do w/ your title (ex: salesman, teacher, actor) and has
nothing to do with your earnings.

I live in the Collegeville, PA area, and I'm a software
developer, and I'd like to know how much my tax would be?

Anyone has a list of those job categories and how they are
taxed?

Thanks,
