Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB856 amends tax assessment procedures, allowing for reassessment petitions, tax credit applications, and adjustments without taxpayer.

Pennsylvania HB856 amends the Tax Reform Code of 1971 to revise tax assessment procedures. It mandates that notices of assessment and demand for payment be mailed to taxpayers, detailing the basis of the assessment and any adjustments. The bill allows taxpayers to petition for reassessment within 60 days of receiving a notice of assessment, provided the notice includes specific adjustment details. It also permits the Department of Revenue to compromise or adjust assessments without a taxpayer appeal in cases of doubtful liability, financial hardship, clerical errors, or documentation issues.
