Residents Ask EIT-Related Questions During Falls Info Session
About two dozen Falls residents attended a recent earned income tax information session and asked various questions related to filing requirements and taxable income.
Falls officials, along with representatives from Keystone Collections – the county-designated EIT collector for Bucks County school districts and municipalities – took questions in-person and via zoom from residents related to Falls Township’s Jan. 1, 2023 enactment of an EIT.

Retro Fitness of Fairless Hills
Bill Zolnowski has been going to the gym and bodybuilding his whole life. When it came time to start a business, Zolnowski blended his fitness expertise with his entrepreneurial spirit to become the owner of the Retro Fitness in Fairless Hills.
“I’ve worked in sales 20 plus years,” he said. “I always just wanted to own my own business.”
And while the thought of opening a “Bill’s Gym” crossed his mind, owning a franchise location seemed a bit easier.
Anchored by Funzilla and Big Lots in the Lincoln Highway shopping center, the gym, which had opened 10 years prior, was in bad shape when Zolnowski took the helm in August 2021. The signature red and yellow walls made for gaudy backdrops behind dilapidated fitness equipment. Danielle Pellegrini, Zolnowski’s fitness director, who at the time was a member, described her boss as being the catalyst who “saved the gym.”

Falls OKs EIT for 2023
Against the backdrop of dwindling host community fees from Waste Management and to prevent financially impacting senior citizens and residents living on fixed incomes, the Falls Township Supervisors begrudgingly approved enacting a 1-percent earned income tax.
Following a presentation from Peter Angelides of EConsult Solutions Inc., and comments and questions from the Supervisors and several residents, the board on Monday voted 4-1 in favor of implementing the EIT, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2023. Supervisor John Palmer cast the lone no vote.
