Subject: | School Contractors Tax Exemption |
This piece of legislation (former HB 279) was drafted with the intent of assisting school districts across the Commonwealth. If enacted, the legislation I intend to introduce will provide a SUT exemption for items and/or services purchased by a contractor(s) on behalf of a school district, intermediate unit, area vocational-technical school or charter school that are related to a construction project. Providing educational institutions with sufficient funding is a task that the General Assembly constantly considers. The task of providing adequate funding only becomes more muddled when schools are engaged in construction projects. By instituting an SUT exemption we provide schools with additional revenue while not increasing the tax burden on homeowners in Pennsylvania PREVIOUS COSPONSORS: M. K. KELLER, GINGRICH, MICOZZIE, D.
