MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 8, 2013 01:20 PM
From: Senator Timothy J. Solobay
To: All Senate members
Subject: Sales Tax on Discounted Items
 
In the near future, I plan on re-introducing legislation which will amend the Tax Reform Code to clarify a confusing point – what amount is considered taxable when applying a coupon or discount when purchasing an item.

The law is not clear on how retailers can appropriately address this issue. My legislation would mandate that sales tax only be imposed on the portion remaining after a coupon or discount is applied. This would protect customers from paying sales tax on money that they have not paid for goods or services. In this time of economic uncertainty, this legislation could return much-needed dollars to the pockets of hard-working Pennsylvanians.




Introduced as SB450
