In the January 2011 edition of the PA Tax Law News newsletter, we offered a broad overview of the production-based exemptions under Pennsylvania’s Sales & Use Tax, Capital Stock and Franchise Taxes, local Business Privilege Taxes and Real Property Tax. In our May newsletter we discussed some of the Sales and Use Tax exemptions in depth. This article focuses on a more detailed discussion of the activities qualifying under the “manufacturing” and “by-product of manufacturing” exemptions from local business privilege and mercantile taxes levied by school districts and municipalities outside of Philadelphia. This article also discusses the local real estate tax exemptions for “mills, mines, manufactories and industrial establishments.”
