An Act amending the act of December 31, 1965 (P.L.1257, No.511), known as The Local Tax Enabling Act, in local taxes, further providing for delegation of taxing powers and restrictions thereon, for payroll tax and for limitations on rates of specific taxes and providing for expiration of business gross receipts tax.
HB 1582 amends Pennsylvania's Local Tax Enabling Act to adjust how local governments can delegate tax collection authority and set restrictions on that delegation. It establishes specific rate limits for certain local taxes, including payroll tax, and sets an expiration date for the business gross receipts tax. These changes directly affect local governments and businesses that pay payroll or gross receipts taxes. The bill focuses on clarifying taxing authority rules and limiting tax rates rather than creating new taxes.
