State income tax ruling sparks appeals in Pa high court
Harrisburg UPI reports the state Supreme Court will hear an appeal of a 5-2 Commonwealth Court decision upholding the 3.5 percent income tax in the Tax Reform Code of 1971. Justices split on uniformity with four Republicans and two Democrats backing the tax and three justices opposing. The case centers on vanishing credits for the poor and local tax relief, with dissents warning the measures resemble a reverse graduated tax.
