An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in sales and use tax, providing for mandatory reporting and remittance oversight authority.
This bill requires taxpayers with significant sales tax delinquencies or repeated failure to file returns to use an authorized third-party service provider for reporting and remitting taxes. It directly affects Pennsylvania businesses and individuals who owe more than $5,000 in delinquent sales tax or have three consecutive non-filed returns. The Department of Revenue would cover the service provider costs for the first year, after which the taxpayer pays, and could impose a $10,000 penalty for failing to enroll with an approved provider. The law takes effect 60 days after passage and allows taxpayers to continue using the service provider voluntarily after the mandatory period ends.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to expand the list of sponsors and update the printer's number to reflect its status after being amended on second consideration. Key policy changes include adding an exemption for taxpayers whose tax liability is currently under appeal, increasing the deadline for enrolling with an authorized service provider from 45 to 60 days, and adding a provision that removes the requirement to use a service provider if the taxpayer resolves the unpaid liability within that 60-day window.
Scope change
The bill's applicability was narrowed by adding an exemption for taxpayers with tax liabilities currently under appeal, and the timeline for compliance was extended for all other taxpayers.
ELIGIBILITY
Added an exemption allowing taxpayers to skip the authorized service provider requirement if their tax liability is currently subject to appeal under Article XXVII.
TIMELINE
Extended the deadline for taxpayers to acquire service from an authorized service provider from 45 days to 60 days.
REQUIREMENT
Added a condition that if a taxpayer resolves an unpaid tax liability within the new 60-day period, they are no longer required to comply with the section's requirements.
ENFORCEMENT
Added a specific clause stating that the department cannot require a taxpayer to use a service provider if the tax liability is under appeal.
