ACH Debit Payments and Pre-Payments For Sales Tax
The file you upload needs to be a
Comma Delimited file (i.e. CSV format) and contain a data element for each column specified below.
It should contain a minimum of
9 columns of data.
Note: The timely filing discount on any sales tax return that has a period end date after Aug. 1, 2016 should be calculated as follows; the lesser of $25 or 1 percent of the tax collected for a monthly filer, $75 or 1 percent of the tax collected for a quarterly filer, and $150 or 1 percent of the tax collected for a semi-annual filer. When preparing your
payment file, you must determine if the allowable discount is 1 percent of the tax collected,
OR if the new discount cap parameters above should be applied based on your filing frequency. The PA Department of Revenue will calculate the apportionment of the discount amount between the PA State sales tax, Allegheny and Philadelphia local taxes based on the sales tax return filed.
