Pennsylvania Legislative Latino Caucus urges PA congressional delegation to oppose proposed federal remittance tax on working families
PA Legislative Latino Caucus June 25, 2025 | 4:16 PM
The Pennsylvania Legislative Latino Caucus will hold a news conference Wednesday to urge Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation to oppose any federal proposal that taxes remittances on working American immigrant families in Pennsylvania.
Who: State Rep. Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz, chair, Pennsylvania Legislative Latino Caucus
State Rep. Danilo Burgos
State Rep. Joe Hohenstein
Julio Rodriguez, Pennsylvania Citizenship and Immigration Coalition
Patty Torres, Make the Road
Shamaine Daniels, We Are Casa
Laura Beltran Figueroa, Pennsylvania Policy Center
When: 10 a.m. Thursday, June 26
Where: Capitol Media Center, Harrisburg
Why: The so-called ‘big, beautiful bill’ is currently being considered by the U.S Senate, which will tax remittances sent overseas by American and immigrant families in Pennsylvania. The federal tax rate that is currently being proposed will add a 3-5% tax to all funds sent overseas. The message to the Commonwealth’s congressional delegation is simple: no new taxes on remittances. They will only hurt working Pennsylvania families.
