Administrative/Voluntary Disclosure:
Pennsylvania: Philadelphia DOR Issues VDA Program Reminder Allowing for Potential Six-Year Lookback
Press Release: Unmet tax obligations? Here’s how to become compliant, City of Philadelphia, Pa. Dept. of Rev. (12/5/23). The City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (City) Department of Revenue (Department) reminds City taxpayers with unmet property and/or business tax filing or payment obligations that they may use the Department’s voluntary disclosure (VDA) program to attain compliance with the City’s tax rules. According to the Department, “whether you are a new business owner or an individual taxpayer, this program offers opportunities for you to maintain good tax standing.” The Department explains that its VDA program allows qualifying individuals and businesses to voluntarily declare and self-report their missed City tax liabilities – including the City’s Business Income & Receipts Tax, Net Profits Tax, School Income Tax, Wage Tax, Earnings Tax, and Use and Occupancy Tax – and, in exchange, the Department generally “will not audit or bill you for taxes disclosed for any years before the six-year disclosure period” and may “waive any penalties accrued within the disclosure period.” Please contact us with any questions.
