Proposed 4% sales tax on warehouse services in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania Governor Rendell recently proposed a 4% sales tax on warehouse services. This sales tax gives our competitors in surrounding states an immediate 4% market advantage. The proposed increase in transport and storage costs in and out of Pennsylvania is bad for jobs and bad for tax collections; warehouse firms and their customers will sharply reduce Pennsylvania operations and the citizens of Pennsylvania will be worse off. Pennsylvania companies would then be forced to recommend warehousing in more strategic regions to the detriment of Pennsylvania.

Therefore, we ask that you join us in opposing Governor Rendell’s proposed sales tax on warehouse services, and assist us in protecting jobs and keeping funds in Pennsylvania. Please send a letter to your local Pennsylvania representative today!
