Official:Amending Section 19-2604 of The Philadelphia Code, relating to tax rates, credits and alternative tax computation for the business privilege tax, by reducing certain tax rates, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Nutter
Introduced: February 9, 2006
: Committee of the Whole
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill aims to reduce tax rates for businesses in Philadelphia by lowering the millage rate for annual receipts and adjusting the net income percentage for tax computation.
