An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in gross receipts tax, further providing for imposition of tax.

SB 1199 amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code to impose a 50-mill tax (45 mills base plus 5 mills surtax) on gross receipts from digital advertising services displayed to users on digital interfaces within Pennsylvania. It directly affects companies providing digital advertising - such as social media, search engines, and banner ad platforms - that target users located in the state. The tax applies to advertising services utilizing user personal information, including banner ads, search engine ads, and interstitial ads, but exempts broadcast and news media entities. Key provisions define "digital interface" as websites or apps accessible to users and specify that the tax applies when ads are displayed to users within Pennsylvania, not just when the company is based here. This creates a new revenue stream for the state targeting digital ad revenue generated from Pennsylvania residents.
