Allegheny Decision Favors County Tax on Deposits
Allegheny County Orphans Court ruled the county, not the state, may collect a four mill tax on interest bearing bank deposits. Judge H Walton Mitchell limited the ruling to the case of Henry Schuetz Jr, noting the county was entitled to taxes totaling 2,605.30 in the absence against 182,748 expected. The decision blocks state plans to collect about 8,000,000 for unemployment relief and challenges Attorney General William Schnader’s contention of a statewide tax entitlement.
