End the property tax system of taxation!
Please support and pass HB 2230 and ensure all local governments can eliminate property taxes!
Why is this important?
Allow all local governments to move away from property taxes to sales and income taxes as a fairer tax structure. Taxing perceived wealth is old an antiquated tax structure. Its time local governments tax structure are updated to the 21st century.
HB 2230 will allow every county in Pennsylvania to have a referendum question for a 1% county sales tax to reduce school district millage rates.
It will also allow every local government entity, from county to school district to levy their own Earned Income Tax (EIT) or Personal Income Tax (PIT) to provide a minimum 30% reduction in their property tax millage rates to complete elimination. If a local government decides to do reduce property tax millage rates, then their rates are frozen at the level and they can raise their income tax rates based on inflation. For school districts, they will be locked into Act 1 of Special Session of 2001.
This is a comprehensive approach to ending the property tax system and moving local governments to a fair and transparent taxing system.
No tax should have the ability to make you homelsess!
