Paying Taxes in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania residents and visitors are subject to many taxes. In addition to the federal taxes every U.S. citizen pays, Pennsylvania also levies taxes such as:

Sales tax: Aside from essentials like groceries, clothing and prescriptions, most products in Pennsylvania are subject to a 6% sales tax. In Philadelphia, the sales tax is 8%, and in Allegheny County, the sales tax is 7%.
“Sin” taxes: There are also additional taxes on cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.
Property and real estate taxes: Local counties, school districts and boroughs may pose additional taxes for those living or attending school in their community. There may also be extra taxes the year someone buys a house or moves into the area.
State income tax: As in many other states, Pennsylvania requires its residents to pay taxes based on their income. This applies to individuals, businesses and other organizations that are not federally taxed corporations.
Local income tax: Like the state income tax, residents are also required to pay taxes for the city, town and county they reside in.

While sales and sin taxes are included within the general price of products, all other taxes are your responsibility. Your employer may withhold some of your income to make paying state, local and federal income taxes easier. However, it is up to you to ensure they’re taking the right amount of money from your paycheck and to make up any missed payments if you aren’t contributing enough.

When you work with us at BC Tax, we’ll examine your past tax payments and help you find the answers you need — whether you’ve paid too much or too little. No matter your situation, our skilled tax professionals will work with you to understand your monetary situation and protect you as you work through your finances.

Important Distinction: Tax Consultant vs. Attorney Representation

I want to clarify both the timeline and why this experience remains relevant today.

My issue with BC Tax occurred approximately five months ago. While that period has passed, the actions taken by the non-attorney tax consultant assigned to my case continue to surface in my current interactions, despite my account now being handled successfully and professionally by an attorney-led tax firm.

This is why the experience remains concerning.

When I made the decision to disengage from BC Tax due to the consultant’s conduct, she immediately contacted the taxing authority in a disparaging manner upon withdrawing her power of attorney. That action created a narrative and paper trail that has followed my case forward—long after I moved on and secured proper legal representation.

This highlights an important distinction consumers should understand:

BC Tax is a tax consulting firm, not a law firm.
The individuals handling cases are tax consultants, not licensed attorneys.

That distinction matters.

• Tax consultants are not held to the same ethical, legal, or professional standards as attorneys
• They do not operate under attorney licensing boards or legal codes of conduct
• Their actions can still materially affect a taxpayer’s case, even after the relationship ends

To be fair and accurate:
The owner, Mr. Barr, was kind, and Mr. Herr, whom I initially spoke with, was professional and helpful. Unfortunately, the consultant ultimately assigned to my case undermined that initial experience and created lasting complications.

I am now working with an attorney-led tax firm, where my matter is being handled with professionalism, discretion, and results—without volatility or retaliation.

I am sharing this review so others can make fully informed decisions. When dealing with serious tax matters, representation matters, and there is a meaningful difference between working with a tax consultant and working with licensed attorneys.

Amanda Lira and her team at BC Tax really performed very well for us. After struggling to recover a tax refund for more than two years, Amanda got it done in less than 6 months. Highly recommend Amanda!

I came to BC Tax after nearly two years of angst with my former CPA and his inability to work with the IRS and get my taxes done in a timely manner and an audit closed. I was hesitant to go with BC Tax as I had not heard of them, however, after speaking with Corrinda I decided to go with them. Corrinda was wonderful, responsive and worked with the IRS to remove a late filing penalty due to my former CPA's lack of timeliness. She and Margaret responded to my emails and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone struggling to work with the IRS to get an audit completed. D. Walton
