Sales tax threat to Pennsylvania poultry industry
The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue contends that firms contracting with poultry growers are liable for a six percent sales tax on feed fuel and litter. If upheld the levy could push producers out of state, raise consumer prices for chicken and eggs, and harm small farmers while reducing state tax revenue. The Wolgemuth Brothers case in Mount Joy tests the rule with broad implications for the industry.
