130832 0  COMMUNICATIONOctober 30, 2013 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: For the reasons set forth below, I am returning to your Honorable Body without my signature Bill No. 130591 and Bill No. 130592, both of which passed Council at its session on October 17, 2013. These two Bills are closely linked. Taken together, they provide that commercial property taxpayers who appeal their current year property assessment would not have to pay the corresponding property or use and occupancy tax amount for Tax Year 2014, but would instead pay the prior year's tax liability pending the appeal. The Bills also propose that taxpayers would not have to pay any interest or penalties on the amount of the tax that is implicated by the appeal. Bill No. 130591 would apply to property tax on commercial real estate-essentially extending to the commercial sphere the tolling offered to residential property owners under Bill No. 130308-A, which recently became law. Bill No. 130592 would apply to the Use and Occupancy tax. As my Administration has made clearREAD   Action details Not available
