Only 3 Days Left for Tax Amnesty

2 min read

Harrisburg – PA Taxpayers have just 3 days left to take advantage of the PA Tax Amnesty program. The PA Tax Amnesty program received 38,700 completed applications disclosing $120 million in previously unpaid Pennsylvania back taxes in the program’s first seven weeks, Secretary of Revenue C. Daniel Hassell reported today.

The single largest payment to date was $2.1 million for corporate taxes.

As of this morning, traffic to the PA Tax Amnesty website, www.PATaxPayUp.com, totaled nearly 276,000 hits; and more than 77,600 calls to the PA Tax Amnesty hotline, 1-877-34-PAYUP, were answered.

About Tax Amnesty:
For a limited time, the PA Department of Revenue is waiving 100 percent of penalties and half the interest for anyone who applies for Tax Amnesty online at
www.PATaxPayUp.com and pays eligible delinquent taxes by June 18.

The 54-day PA Tax Amnesty program, created by Act 48 of 2009, is generally available to all individuals, businesses and other entities with PA tax delinquencies as of June 30, 2009.

The Tax Amnesty period began on April 26 and is expected to net $190 million for the current fiscal year budget.

After the program ends on June 18, eligible taxpayers that did not take advantage of the PA Tax Amnesty opportunity to pay what they owe will have a 5-percent non-participation penalty added to delinquencies and may face other enforcement actions.

For more information, visit www.PATaxPayUp.com or call 1-877-34-PAYUP (1-877-347-2987) weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. The hotline will also be open until midnight on June 18, the final day of Tax Amnesty.
