This bill amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to change the discount structure for sales and use tax licenses.

  • Section 227

    [the lesser of: (1) one per cent of the amount of the tax collected; or (2) as follows: (i) twenty-five dollars ($25) per return for a monthly filer; (ii) seventy-five dollars ($75) per return for a quarterly filer; or (iii) one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per return for a semiannual filer.] → (3) one per cent of the amount of the tax collected on the first one million dollars ($1,000,000) of taxable revenue; and (4) one-quarter per cent of the amount of the tax collected on taxable revenue in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000).

    The discount for tax collected is restructured to provide a percentage of the tax collected based on taxable revenue thresholds instead of fixed dollar amounts.
