Philadelphia Business Tax and License Requirements

Philadelphia Business Tax and License Requirements
In light of recent media reports regarding the alleged failure of Realtors to comply with the City of Philadelphia's complex system of business tax and license requirements, the Suburban REALTORS Alliance has produced an issue brief titled "Philadelphia Business License and Tax Requirements." The document is meant to provide an introductory resource for REALTORS who are interested in learning more about Philadelphia's requirements for individuals and organizations conducting business within its borders.
 

PLEASE NOTE: This issue brief is being provided as a service to our members. The SRA and its shareholder associations, the Bucks County, Montgomery County and Suburban West associations of REALTORS, do not provide individual accounting or legal advice.
