Budget & Taxes

SB 473 amends Pennsylvania's 1971 Tax Reform Code to adjust discounts for businesses that pay sales and use tax on time. It directly affects businesses filing sales tax returns (monthly, quarterly, or semiannually) by offering two discount options: a flat fee per return ($25, $75, or $150 based on filing frequency) plus a percentage discount (1% on the first $1 million of taxable revenue, then 0.25% on amounts over $1 million). The bill replaces the previous discount structure with these specific, tiered provisions to incentivize prompt tax payments. The changes take effect 60 days after enactment.
