Amusement Tax
10% of the Township's total revenue is received through the Amusement Tax. The tax is 10% of the first seven dollars and fifty cents of the price of a ticket for amusement events. Hersheypark makes up the largest portion of the revenue. The Township and Hershey Entertainment and Resorts entered an agreement in 1998 to insure that the Township continues to receive a specific amount on the sale of all tickets, in the event that the amusement tax is ever eliminated. This tax is divided between the Township and the School District.
