Utility Realty Tax Faces Administrative Mess in Pa
WARREN AP The new public utility realty tax is described as an administrative mess by Edward J. Cannon of the state Department of Revenue. He told 15 northwestern Pennsylvania county commissioners that municipalities have already filed challenges as the tax, effective last March, bases state taxes on utility property value with portions returned to local schools and taxing units. Commissioner William Ahrens of Venango County warned that counties will bear blame for the revenue shift as the group moves to seek an amendment to the tax law.
