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, further providing for discount.
HB 315 amends Pennsylvania's sales tax discount rules to provide clearer, tiered incentives for businesses that file and pay taxes promptly. It replaces the previous discount structure with a new system offering fixed per-return discounts: $25 for monthly filers, $75 for quarterly filers, and $150 for semiannual filers. Additionally, it adds a revenue-based discount: 1% on the first $1 million of taxable sales, plus 0.25% on amounts above that threshold. This bill directly affects businesses required to file and pay sales tax in Pennsylvania, making prompt payment more financially beneficial through these specific, predictable discount tiers.
