SALES, USE, AND HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES
(61 PA. CODE § 34.1)
Every person, association, fiduciary, partnership, corporation, or other entity making taxable sales of tangible personal property or services must obtain a Sales Tax license. This includes out-of-state retailers who make more than $100,000 of gross sales into Pennsylvania in the previous calendar year. For more information on Pennsylvania Sales Tax nexus, please visit revenue.pa.gov. Sales include leasing or renting of tangible personal property and the rental of hotel or motel rooms.
Failure to be licensed may subject the seller to a fine.
Entities which make taxable purchases but did not pay sales tax upon purchase should report and pay use tax directly to the department by visiting mypath.pa.gov.
TAXES AND FEES (PTA) (61 PA. CODE § 47.19)
Every person, association, fiduciary, partnership, corporation, or other entity selling new tires for highway use, or renting, or leasing of motor vehicles must obtain a separate license. Failure to do so may subject the seller to a fine. Entities leasing motor vehicles from nonregistered vendors should report tax directly to the department.
# HOW TO OBTAIN A LICENSE
Prior to making taxable sales, rentals or leases, one must apply for a license with the PA Department of Revenue.
Registration for Sales, Use, and Hotel Occupancy Tax, Public Transportation Assistance Fund Taxes and Fees, and Vehicle Rental Tax can be completed by visiting the Pennsylvania Online Business Tax Registration service at mypath.pa.gov.
If more than one place of business is maintained in Pennsylvania, a copy of the license must be displayed at each location. All applicants must have filed all required PA tax returns and paid all PA taxes or the license will not be issued or renewed. Sales, Use, and Hotel Occupancy licenses are renewed automatically every five years provided there are no outstanding filing obligations or tax liabilities.
# COLLECTION OF TAX (72 P.S. § 7237)
Taxes and fees must be collected at the time of sale, unless the sale is on credit. Taxes and fees on credit sales must be remitted within 30 days of the date of sale. A seller is liable for reporting and remitting taxes and fees with the tax return covering the period in which either a taxable sale was made, or the tax or fee should have been collected. The seller may be assessed for failure to collect taxes and fees, plus charges for appropriate interest and penalties.
# PAYMENT OF TAXES AND FEES ON VEHICLES
(61 PA. CODE § 31.41, ET SEQ.)
Sales tax is due and payable at the time of application for Certificate of Title or Registration upon the sale or use of a motor vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer.

These taxes and fees must be reported on the appropriate return, which must be filed with the PA Department of Revenue. (See Category 29 on Page 25).
(72 P.S. § 7201(G); 61 PA. CODE § 33.2)
Tax is to be collected on the full purchase price without any deduction on account of the cost of labor, shipping, handling, delivery, or installation. Separately stated charges for returnable containers are not subject to tax.

TeleFile is a telephone filing system designed for taxpayers who do not have computer access. In order to use TeleFile, taxpayers are required to submit a TeleFile Request Form and cite the reason (unable to access Internet; religious exemption) why they are unable to use online filing options.
To obtain the Telefile Request Form and receive instructions for returning it to the Department of Revenue, call 717-787-1064.
This request form should be submitted to the department 30 days prior to the due date to ensure the department has enough time to update your account.
If approved, you will be required to enter any two of the following identifiers: 8-digit Account ID Number, FEIN or SSN, and the period ending date for the period you wish to file. TeleFile is toll-free and can be accessed 24 hours a day/7 days a week by calling 1-800-748-8299.
IMPORTANT: PA-3 forms are NOT available for download from the internet and the use of other tax forms could result in non-filer notification and/or the misapplication of the tax payment.
(72 P.S. § 9; 61 PA. CODE § 5.3)
This regulation requires taxpayers to remit payments of $1,000 or more through Electronic Funds Transfer.
Failure to comply with the Electronic Funds Transfer remittance requirements may result in an assessment of a penalty equal to 3 percent of the total tax due, not to exceed $500. The penalty may be imposed on all payments of $1,000 or more that are not presented to the Department of Revenue by an approved payment method. If a business does not meet the $1,000 threshold, it may voluntarily elect to participate in the program.
NOTE: All tax documents are still required to be filed even though the payments are made through EFT.
# EFT REQUIREMENT
If you meet the $1,000 payment threshold, you are required to remit your payment electronically.
# ELECTRONIC PAYMENT METHODS
Taxpayers can choose one of the following electronic methods: Automated Clearing House (ACH) Debit, Automated Clearing House (ACH) Credit, or credit card.

The vendor discount for licensees for timely filed returns and payments is limited to the lesser of $25 or 1 percent of tax collected for a monthly filer, $75 or 1 percent of tax collected for a quarterly filer, and $150 or 1 percent of tax collected for a semi-annual filer.
LATE FILING (72 P.S. § 7265, 7266; 61 PA. CODE § 35.2) No discount is granted on returns filed late. Interest and additions are to be added to late returns as follows:
# INTEREST
Effective January 1st of each year, the interest rate will be equal to the rate of interest established by the U.S.
Secretary of Treasury. Interest rates can be obtained from form REV-1611. For any late payment of tax, interest is calculated on a daily basis using the following formula:
INTEREST = TAX X DAYS LATE X DAILY INTEREST RATE
NOTE:The daily interest rate is derived by dividing the annual interest rate by 365 days.
# ADDITIONS
If any return is not filed by its due date, there is an addition of 5 percent of the tax due for each month or fraction of a month a proper return for the period remains unfiled, up to a maximum of 25 percent of the amount of tax for the period.
In no case shall the addition be less than $2.
NOTE: If the proper tax, interest and additions are not remitted, the department will make an assessment.
USE TAX (72 P.S. § 7202; 61 PA. CODE § 31.7)
Use tax due by all sales tax licensees must be reported and paid on the Sales, Use, and Hotel Occupancy Tax Return.
No discount is allowed on use tax reported. Use tax is due upon the purchase price of any taxable tangible personal property or services on which no equivalent amount of sales tax was paid. The tax must be reported and paid with the first tax return filed following the first taxable use of the property or service. Use tax due by nonlicensees must be reported and paid within the first 20 days of the month following the month of the first taxable use in Pennsylvania.
Payments and returns may be remitted by visiting mypath.pa.gov.

In addition to state Sales, Use, or Hotel Occupancy Taxes, a local sales, use, or hotel occupancy tax may also be imposed by a county of the Commonwealth or the City of Philadelphia. As of January 2010, only Allegheny County and the City of Philadelphia have imposed local taxes. This local tax only applies to sales originating in or the use of taxable property or services in a county or city that has imposed the tax. Sales of property delivered to an out-ofstate location is not subject to the local tax. Vendors may voluntarily collect the local tax to relieve purchasers of the responsibility to report Use Tax.

# BOOKING AGENTS
A booking agent that facilitates the short-term booking of an occupancy on behalf of an operator located in Pennsylvania must now charge, collect and remit hotel occupancy tax on the "accommodation fee," which is an amount charged by the booking agent in excess of the discount room charge.
A 6 percent sales tax is imposed on the accommodation fee, or any other fee, charged by a booking agent who facilitates or collects payments for hotel accommodations on behalf of a hotel operator located in the Commonwealth. An additional 1 percent local sales tax is due on the accommodation fees for hotel bookings in Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties.
Booking agents are required to be registered for two licenses to collect hotel occupancy tax. a. If the booking agent does not already have a separate sales, use, and hotel occupancy tax license, it should obtain one using the Pennsylvania Online Business Tax Registration process at mypath.pa.gov. The booking agent will need to obtain a sales, use, and hotel occupancy tax license before registering for a booking agent license. b. Upon receiving the sales, use, and hotel occupancy tax license, the next step is to register for the booking agent license.
