Many of us who own our own homes know that the school tax portion of our property tax is the largest portion by far that we pay. Many older folks, who are on fixed incomes, know to well how much the school property tax is on their home.
Ever think about having NO SCHOOL PROPERTY TAXES? Well let me tell you, my school property taxes just went up 14% where I live so I am certainly thinking about how we can eliminate this darn tax.
There may be a way. Listen up. There is a proposed bill called house bill 1275 "The School Property Tax Elimination Act" and I think it makes a lot of sense.
Basically, it calls for the elimination of school property taxes and all of those nuisance taxes like the Earned Income Tax, etc. And to of course, make up for this lost money it calls for the expansion of the sales tax. Keep in mind it's not talking about increasing the sales tax, but it's talking about expanding the things that we are taxed on. Make sense?
Check out Pennsylvania Taxpayers Cyber Coalition for more information. Good info there.
