Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 12, 2012 12:35 PM
From: Senator Michael J. Stack
To: All Senate members
Subject: Philadelphia City Wage Tax cap
 
I am re-introducing legislation from last session that would improve the business climate in Pennsylvania.

This bill would cap the Philadelphia City Wage Tax at its current rate of 3.928% for residents and 3.4985% for nonresidents. The city could choose to lower the rate, but they will not be able to increase the rate. The City Wage Tax has been considered a job crushing tax by many in the business community.

By capping the tax, we can ensure that Philadelphia will remain a competitive place for businesses and jobs.

If you have any questions regarding this legislation, please do not hesitate to contact my Harrisburg office at 717-787-9608. Thank you.
