The Pennsylvania House of
Representatives is scheduled to vote on property tax reform
during the week of October 29, 2007. One of the proposals is to
raise additional revenues by enacting a broader sales tax, which
would include professional services such as legal fees,
accounting services, banking and insurance transactions, and
business services.
A sales tax on legal services will in many cases be born by
lawyers,
their clients, and those seeking legal services who can least
afford it: it would also create an accounting nightmare for any
law firm.
Please fax or email our
state legislators and urge them to categorically and
absolutely oppose ANY
measure that would extend the sales tax to include professional
services. A listing of our legislators can be found at:
