New Website Sheds Light on Wolf Tax Hike Plan
The House Appropriations Committee this week launched a website, www.TaxpayersThatPay.com, which provides a look at how the Commonwealth’s taxpayers in each school district would fare under Governor Tom Wolf’s proposed property tax shift plan.
If fully implemented, the governor’s plan would raise $8 billion in new taxes by 2016-17, but put only $3.6 billion toward property tax relief.
The website provides a breakdown of how each of the state’s 500 school districts would be affected by the tax shift, showing taxpayers in approximately 400 districts would pay more in personal income and sales taxes than they would receive in property tax relief.
