Tax Collection
Under the Home Rule Charter adopted by Borough Council in 2009, the Borough of Malvern will collect all real estate taxes. Payments can be mailed to the Borough of Malvern; PO Box 437; Malvern, PA 19355. Taxes may also be paid in person at Malvern Borough; 1 E. First Avenue, Suite 3; Malvern, PA 19355. Questions regarding real estate taxes should be directed to Marylou Whitcomb, Borough Treasurer, at 610-644-2602.
The Chester Tax Collection Committee (CTCC) recently appointed Keystone Collections Group to serve as the Earned Income Tax (EIT) and Local Services Tax (LST) collector for school and municipal taxing authorities within Chester County. This important change was brought about under Act 32 of 2008. Act 32 requires municipal governments and school districts in all Pennsylvania counties, except Philadelphia, to select a single tax collector to serve the Earned Income Tax collection needs of the political subdivisions within the county. Keystone will officially start EIT and LST collections for the CTCD effective January 1, 2011. This means that Keystone will be responsible for processing payments for the 4th quarter of 2010, as well as the 2010 final earned income tax returns due April 15, 2011. In the next few weeks, individuals and employers will receive detailed instructions and contact information from Keystone to help answer questions and provide taxpayer assistance.
Please call Keystone Collections Group with employer/employee address questions. (Not all addresses with a Malvern mailing address are located in the Malvern Borough taxing jurisdiction. Please be certain your employer/employee is located in Malvern Borough and not just within the Malvern mailing address. Many communities surrounding the Borough have Malvern mailing addresses but different tax collectors and different tax rates.)
