State and city officials confirm that the City of Philadelphia’s new sales tax rate of eight percent will kick in on October 8th.
Janel Miller, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, says the agency will start getting the word out quickly:
“The department will begin to send letters in the coming days to all sales tax licensees in Philadelphia, to notify them of this change. What we’re really trying to do is to encourage retailers to begin updating their cash registers and their accounting systems so that they can begin collecting the sales tax at a higher rate on October 8th.”
