The Value of Centax
It Doesn't Cost, It Pays.
"When your firm was appointed collector, an
immediate about face took place. Implementing an aggressive collection strategy
through audits and proper taxpayer reporting requirements resulted in increased
collections greatly exceeding any amount previously attained."
Stephen P.Zarlinski
Superintendent
"Central Tax Bureau has been very responsive
to the needs of the Borough. Central Tax personnel have been very helpful in presenting
different ideas regarding ways to increase collections and in working with the
Borough when special needs have arisen or when unique situations require some
extra time or research."
Mr. Scott E. Weaver
Finance Director
The Borough of
Centax recognizes that the more quickly and efficiently
local tax revenue is collected and remitted to your district, the sooner it can
be used for the things that really matter to your residents. Taxes take on a
new meaning when revenue is used to purchase the equipment, products and
services that make your district operate smoothly.
That's why at CENTAX, we are much more than just a collector
of taxes.

Obviously, the reason most taxing authorities hire CENTAX is
to enjoy the benefits of reduced expenses, increased revenues, and peace of
mind provided by our expertise in collecting personal and business taxes and
fees. Over the years, CENTAX has earned a reputation for achieving the most
dramatic increases in collected revenues of any independent tax collector. In
many cases, we've been able to more than double the revenues collected from
current and delinquent taxes due. Our consistent track record is the simple
result of well-defined goals developed in partnership with our customers;
innovative and specialized programs developed to meet customer needs; and
dedicated effort from our staff. All backed by the CENTAX network of resources,
knowledge, and experience.

In administering tax programs, our first goal is always to simplify systems and create the easy-to-understand forms, announcements and instructions needed to help educate taxpayers and assure the greatest amount of collection on a day-to-day basis. Computerized mailings, detailed records, and manual spot checks of receipts and disbursements make it all possible. Our results speak for themselves. |

For past due and delinquent accounts, we also deliver
dramatic results. The CENTAX difference starts with a full understanding of all
legal collection procedures, legislative and judicial developments, and Act 511
regulations. Couple that with our utilization of all available tax rolls, our
access to major credit bureaus, specialized legal counsel, and our expediency
in identifying, notifying and acting on delinquent tax payers, and you'll see
why we collect the largest amount of delinquent tax revenues, again and again.
We staff separate regional enforcement offices that concentrate solely on
delinquent collection efforts to ensure that outstanding tax revenue is
discovered and pursued. Our internal auditors go into the field to make sure
that businesses and individuals are aware of their local tax reporting and
payment responsibilities and that they are in compliance. Sometimes, compliance
is only a matter of taxpayer education. These efforts combined result in the
collection of monies that otherwise might never have been discovered.
In all, CENTAX makes one promise: We will collect the
maximum tax revenues and fees due to your government, at the lowest possible
cost.
"Central Tax Bureau has an interest in our
community and they work closely with our department heads to identify new
taxpayers and new business. They perform tax audits on area businesses and use
the state revenue information. Never before has any City Act 511 tax collector
used the magisterial courts to our advantage."

We promise to be sensitive to individual needs. A
lost job, prolonged illness, house fire, or a death in the family can make it
difficult for residents to fulfill their tax obligations promptly. We
understand, and our professionals will work one-on-one to arrange a payment
schedule that will help the taxpayer get back on track. If you're only looking for tax collection services, there are a lot of choices available.
