Pennsylvania To Raise Small Businesses’ Taxes To Lure Big Businesss
Pennsylvania plans to raise taxes on small businesses so that they can attract more big businesses, according to Law & Entrepreneurship News:
Pennsylvania is looking for ways to reduce state corporate net income taxes by 30%. The proposed tax cut for corporations would include a provision that increases the Pennsylvania small business tax rate by roughly 33% for many small businesses.Currently, Pennsylvania’s corporate tax rate is 9.99%, the third highest in the nation. In hopes of attracting more corporations to the state, Pennsylvania is looking to reduce the corporate rate to 6.99%. Gov. Ed Rendell requested that the plan be revenue neutral. Thus, to make up for the revenue shortfall, Pennsylvania is looking to raise the small business tax rate from 3.07% to 4.07%.
How many small business will go under because of this change? How many will leave the state?

Even more to think about. How many new ones won’t get off the ground in the first place? I’m a proponent of a “startup moratorium” on all small business taxes for their first 3-5 years unless they start making a profit over X amount. You’d have a LOT more businesses that actually succeed, I can tell you that.
