030276 0  COMMUNICATIONApril 24, 2003 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA: I am returning herewith as disapproved Bill No. 030014, passed by the Council on April 3, 2002. I continue to support coordinated, equitable and cost-effective tax reform. This bill however, constitutes flawed attempts to achieve the imperative goals of tax reform and tax reduction. I cannot support this bill. Bill No. 030014 is essentially a repeat of a bill I previously vetoed, Bill No. 020537-A, and I will not repeat here the reasoning I set forth in my veto letter of December 5, 2002. This bill would effectively impose a ten percent "cap" on real estate tax increases for fiscal year 2003. In addition to the issues raised above, I remind you the Solicitor has advised us that we are legally powerless to interfere with tax measures already enacted for the current fiscal year, once the fiscal year has already begun (indeed we are now nine months into the fiscal year).

030277 0  COMMUNICATIONApril 24, 2003 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA: I am returning herewith unsigned Bill No. 030073, passed by the Council on April 3, 2003. Bill No. 030073 would provide relief from overall property tax increases in the form of wage tax reductions. To the xtent City real estate tax revenues overall grow by more than two percent in a given year, the bill would require the City to reduce its wage tax rates in the folowing year by an amount sufficient to reduce wage tax revenues by such "excess" real estate tax revenue growth. The wage tax reductions any individual taxpayer would receive as a result of this bill are unrelated to any property tax increase a tax payer may or may not have experienced. While this is an interesting approach, I belive it is an issue that should be considered by the Tax Reform Commission. I also believe the City may need to reevaluate its impact once sttewide tax reform and budget amendments now under considerati0on has been enacted. Only one year ago, I signed into law a five year, incremental wage tax reduction bREAD   Action details Not available
