Capital Tax Collection Bureau

What Capital Tax Collection Bureau does

Capital Tax Collection Bureau (CapTax) is a Pennsylvania-registered non-profit tax collection agency founded in 1988, headquartered in New Bloomfield, PA with a regional office in Orbisonia. It is governed cooperatively by member municipalities and school districts across Huntingdon, Juniata, and Perry Counties in Central Pennsylvania, making it the longest-serving and largest non-profit Earned Income Tax Collection agency in the region. Each member body appoints a representative resident to the governing board, and membership is open to any registered Pennsylvania city, borough, township, or school district.

The organization administers and collects four primary local taxes — Earned Income Tax (including Net Profit Tax), Local Services Tax, Occupation Assessment Tax, and Per Capita Tax — for its member jurisdictions, along with delinquent collection services as an add-on capability. Its technology platform is built on a browser-based online filing system (captax.rba.com, hosted by RBA) supporting both individual taxpayer self-service filing and employer quarterly EIT/LST submissions, with electronic payment processing routed through Payroc and aciPayOnline gateways.

As a non-profit, CapTax retains a portion of collected taxes to cover operational costs and returns surpluses to members in the form of stable or reduced tax rates. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: new municipalities are onboarded through direct board-level engagement rather than competitive sales. The customer base spans three end-user segments — member municipalities/school districts (B2G), employers operating in those jurisdictions (B2B, with mandatory online filing for 26+ employee workforces under Act 32), and individual taxpayers (B2C) — all geographically constrained to the three-county service area.
