  • February 15, 2021 Dear Governor Wolf
    February 15, 2021 Dear Governor Wolf: CompetePA is a coalition comprised of statewide and regional business groups, small- and medium- sized businesses, as well as Fortune 500 companies. The coalition, which represents more than half the Commonwealth’s private sector employers, was formed in 2005 to help create a competitive business tax climate that encourages job growth in Pennsylvania. On behalf of over 160 businesses and organizations across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the CompetePA Coalition writes in opposition to the proposed tax increases to businesses, large and small across Pennsylvania, as laid out in your 2021-22 budget proposal. It is no secret that Pennsylvania has one of the least competitive business tax environments in the country. For 2021, we rank 43rd in the nation in the Tax Foundation’s “Corporate Tax Ranking”. At 9.99 percent, we have the highest non-graduated Corporate Net Income Tax (CNIT) rate in the country. While we appreciate your proposal to lower this rate, tying the rate reduction to combined reporting – a policy that adds complexity, uncertainty, and cost to business – ultimately further negatively impacts Pennsylvania’s competitive standing. While CompetePA has historically focused on just the CNIT rate and its structure, we would be remiss if we also didn’t share our opposition to the proposal to raise the Personal Income Tax (PIT) rate. Our PIT rate is one of the most competitive rates in the country, at 3.07 percent. It’s also the rate paid by many small businesses in our Commonwealth. As regions everywhere look to recover and thrive in a post-pandemic world, now more than ever we need to ensure Pennsylvania is competitively positioned versus the competition.

    Volume 96, Number 2 October 2012 www.asce-pgh.org Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” 1997. What were you doing in 1997? How old were your kids? What car did you drive? Bob Carlisle’s “Butterfly Kisses” was the #12 hit. The Spice Girls had 3 top hits in 1997. Basic Cable TV was $29.52 per month. A postage stamp was 29¢. Republican Tom Ridge was Governor. Three Rivers Stadium existed. 1997 Construction Cost Index: 5825. August, 2012 CCI was 9351, up 60%. The PA Liquid Fuel tax, to maintain our roads, was 12¢ per gallon. It still is. In 2012, the Oil Franchise Tax also remains at 19.2¢ per gallon. In 2012, 17% of Pennsylvania bridges are structurally deficient, and 800 must be replaced, and all average over 50 years old. About 20% of the workers in the Pennsylvania Construction industry are unemployed, with 3,300 less in August. In 1997 the Pennsylvania unemployment rate was about 5.1%. After the inflation adjustment to the tax, the rate declined to about 4.2%. In August, 2012 it was 8.1%.
