Dear Neighbor,

Did you know that large, multi-state corporations are able to get away with not paying any Corporate Net Income Tax? Meanwhile, our Pennsylvania-based businesses are not so lucky – all their income is eligible to be taxed.

To address this unfairness, my colleagues and I in the House just passed a bill that would require these multi-state companies to use “combined reporting” – meaning they will have to accurately report revenues earned in Pennsylvania instead of hiding it in other states.

Compelling these companies to start paying the taxes they truly owe would mean less of the tax burden falling on local businesses and workers – like you.

At the same time, Pennsylvania is gradually lowering this Corporate Net Income Tax (sometimes called the “CNIT”). By 2029, we will have one of the lowest rates in the country. So not only can we make sure the tax system is fair – we can make it more business-friendly at the same time.

There are already 28 states that have this law in effect, and it’s about time PA joins them.

Now it’s up to the state Senate to pass this important bill and get it to the Governor’s desk.

Sincerely,

Pennsylvania State Rep. David M. Delloso

Watch out for a scam targeting seniors re: inheritance

A new e-mail-based scam involving someone posing as a state employee is targeting seniors with messages about collecting an inheritance from overseas, several PA agencies are warning.

The scam uses fake emails that mimic Commonwealth addresses to convince victims to send money in exchange for the fictitious inheritance. One reported case saw an older Pennsylvanian lose money over nearly a year.

Officials urge residents to:

• Ignore unsolicited messages offering money or prizes.
• Verify suspicious emails (official state emails end in @pa.gov).
• Never share personal info or send money to unknown individuals.
• Report suspicious activity to state agencies or local law enforcement by calling 1-866-PAComplaint; visiting pa.gov/consumer; or contacting the Attorney General's office at 1-800-441-2555 or attorneygeneral.gov.
