Where Main street meets capital avenue

The Modernization of Local Tax Collection legislation introduces a single online portal for businesses to pay local payroll and net profits taxes across all jurisdictions, simplifying the process and reducing administrative burdens. Overseen by the State Treasurer, the system ensures funds are deposited into local accounts within one day and includes audit and compliance reporting. It respects home rule, allowing local governments to maintain control over tax rates, and is cost-free for jurisdictions, with expenses covered by businesses using the portal. The initiative aims to increase compliance, support small businesses, and encourage economic development, with a carefully planned implementation set for January 1, 2027.
