PICPA is placing its advocacy might behind a number of initiatives that will affect a broad range of CPAs. The following are a few examples of such legislation. To make the process of filing an amended state tax return easier, state Rep. Bill Adolph (A-Delaware) introduced House Bill 571. This legislation would establish a wholly separate tax return that is specific to amended returns: the PA-40X. PICPA is supporting legislation to clarify the Local Tax Enabling Act in order to define when a municipality may tax a company performing work within its borders. PICPA is actively monitoring a $21 million line-item in the budget that will be applied to the Department of Revenue's continuing technology and process modernization efforts.
In 2008, Pennsylvania lawmakers passed Act 32, the Local Tax Enabling Act, which reformed and standardized local tax collection. Although passed three years ago, the new withholding requirements do not become effective until Jan. 1, 2012. The new law applies to all Pennsylvania resident employees and every Pennsylvania employer with employees in Pennsylvania. It affects political subdivisions outside Philadelphia and Allegheny County - in other words, most of the state.

The Local Tax Enabling Act (LTEA), or Act 511, is now more than 40 years old. The law provides localities with the ability to levy certain types of tax, including, but not limited to, earned income, gross receipts, occupation, local services, and per capita taxes. Many attempts have been made over the past four decades to amend the law, but most have been unsuccessful at simplifying the tax burden on businesses and individuals. For the LTEA to be repealed, a substitute form of funding would need to be recommended so municipalities and school districts could balance their budgets without property taxes skyrocketing. A possible solution may be increasing the state personal income tax rate, with the extra funds being earmarked for local funding. If repeal is deemed undesirable, the current...

Some PICPA members have remarked that they are not involved in the PICPA because they believe they will have little or no influence. That perception is far from the reality. Cheri H Freeh, CPA, joined the State Taxation Committee in 1996 and expressed frustration with the way the Local Tax Enabling Act was being interpreted by local school districts and municipalities. Freeh was involved in each step of the legislative process to achieve her goal. Act 166 was finally signed into law by Gov Schweiker. As chair of PICPA's Accounting and Auditing Procedures Committee, Eric P Wallace, CPA, will be representing PICPA a part of an AICPA-appointed task force studying the need for "differential accounting standards." During Pennsylvania's protracted budget battle last year, the testimony of Ray...

In February, Gov Edward G Rendell unveiled a $22.3 billion budget proposal for Pennsylvania's 2004-2005 fiscal year that contains no new taxes. Gov Rendell also will appoint a 9-member Business Tax Commission to recommend improvements to the Commonwealth's business-tax structure. The commission's objective will be to lower the capital stock and franchise tax and the corporate net income tax rates while broadening the tax base. Separately, when the Pennsylvania Senate ajourned for the winter recess, legislation advocated by the PICPA that clarifies Act 511 Local Tax Enabling Act changes was facing an uncertain fate. The Senate had been working the final weeks of the year to complete the 2003-2004 fiscal year budget and time ran out before there was a chance to vote on the clarification, ...
