Pennsylvania basics
What Pennsylvania businesses deal with
Pennsylvania's state sales tax rate is 6%. Philadelphia adds 2% for a combined 8%, and Allegheny County adds 1% for a combined 7%.
Pennsylvania has a patchwork of local taxes, and payroll is where it bites most. Each employee can have a different local tax, so clean payroll records matter.
Pennsylvania items we keep your books ready for
- Sales and use tax returns, including the added Philadelphia and Allegheny County rates
- Local earned income tax withholding for employees, which depends on where the employee lives and works
- State withholding and unemployment compensation reports
- The annual report that Pennsylvania entities, including LLCs, file with the Department of State
