IN THE KNOW: Business Privilege Tax
11/29/2010
Taxing businesses is a complicated issue, but
it matters to everyone in Philadelphia. City Council is eying a plan to
change the way the "Business Privilege Tax" is structured, a debate that
may have long-term implications for the economic health of the city -
and implications for candidates in next year's election for mayor and
City Council. To help understand what's going on, the Committee of
Seventy's IN THE KNOW looks at what the Business Privilege Tax is and
explains the clashing ideas for reforming it.
