Pennsylvania lawmakers weigh competing skill-game tax proposals
Pennsylvania lawmakers are considering different tax rates for skill games as small-business owners and supporters called for rules they said would protect local businesses. Governor Josh Shapiro has proposed a 52% rate, while Senate Bill 626 proposes 16% and Senate Bill 756 proposes 35%. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has yet to make a final ruling on the games’ legal status, according to the report.
The proposed rates could change the tax burden on Pennsylvania businesses that rely on skill-game revenue.
