Bill Summary

Amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), entitled "An act relating to tax reform and State taxation by codifying and enumerating certain subjects of taxation and imposing taxes thereon; providing procedures for the payment, collection, administration and enforcement thereof; providing for tax credits in certain cases; conferring powers and imposing duties upon the Department of Revenue, certain employers, fiduciaries, individuals, persons, corporations and other entities; prescribing crimes, offenses and penalties," in personal income tax, repealing provisions relating to electronic payment and to additions, penalties and fees; in general provisions, providing for method of payment; and making a repeal.

AI Summary

This bill repeals existing requirements for electronic tax payments and associated penalties in Pennsylvania's tax code. Specifically, it eliminates a previous mandate that tax payments of $15,000 or more must be made electronically, and removes the associated 3% penalty (up to $500) for non-electronic payments. The bill adds a new section to the tax code requiring the Department of Revenue to accept all forms of payment and prohibiting the Treasury and Revenue departments from imposing penalties based on the payment method. The new payment method provisions will apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, but the bill itself takes effect immediately. By removing the electronic payment requirement, the legislation provides taxpayers more flexibility in how they can remit tax payments to the state, eliminating the previous restrictions and potential financial penalties for not using electronic payment systems.
