AI Summary
This bill amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 by increasing the insurance premiums tax rate for insurance companies doing business in Pennsylvania from 2% to 8% of gross premiums received from business within the state. The tax increase will apply to calendar years beginning after December 31, 2025, meaning the new 8% rate will first be effective for the 2026 calendar year. The bill provides for an immediate implementation of the legislation itself, while giving insurance companies advance notice of the coming tax rate change. By raising the tax rate on insurance premiums, the bill is designed to generate additional tax revenue for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from insurance companies operating within the state.
