Official:Amending Chapter 19-1500 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Wage and Net Profits Tax," by revising tax rates for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Sanchez
Introduced: May 7, 2009
: Committee of the Whole
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 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 revises tax rates for Philadelphia's Wage and Net Profits Tax for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011, affecting both residents' salaries and non-residents' income earned in the city.
