Pennsylvania Business Tax Reform Update and Action Alert Name company
Pennsylvania has one of the worst business climates in the world • Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate is at its highest levels since the 2001 recession • PA would have nearly 700,000 more jobs if our economy had kept pace with the national average. • We rank 44/50 in job creation • Only Japan has a less competitive business tax structure than PA
Why PA business taxes matter to you and [INSERT COMPANY NAME] • Discourages companies from adding jobs or expanding/improving facilities in PA • Lower wages • Combined reporting would punish homegrown, PA-based companies
Our priorities to succeed • Build on progress in 2009 and: • Enact a 100% sales factor • Eliminate the cap on net operating loss carryfowards • Reduce the corporate net income tax rate • Continue the capital stock and franchise tax phase out • KEEP COMBINED REPORTING OUT OF PA
