TAXPAYERS’ PROCEDURE FOR REFUNDS OF OVERPAID TAX
If a taxpayer determines he/she overpaid taxes or paid tax to which he/she is not subject, a petition for refund must be filed
within three years of the date of payment. If payment(s) is/are made in full as a result of an assessment, a petition for refund
must be filed within six months of the date of the assessment. All petitions for a refund, except Liquid Fuels Tax refunds, are
filed with the Board of Appeals.
TAXPAYERS’ COMPLAINTS
If a taxpayer has a complaint about an action the Department took in regard to Personal Income Taxes, Employer Withholding
or Inheritance Tax, the Department’s Taxpayers’ Rights Advocate may be contacted at the following address:
PA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
TAXPAYERS’ RIGHTS ADVOCATE
LOBBY, STRAWBERRY SQUARE
HARRISBURG PA 17128
The Advocate will then facilitate the resolution of the complaint by working with appropriate Department personnel or issuing an
assistance order requested by the taxpayer and warranted.
DEPARTMENT’S ENFORCEMENT METHODS
If a taxpayer has not paid a tax liability nor filed a timely appeal of the liability, the Department may take the following actions:
Contact a delinquent taxpayer and attempt to resolve the liability through payment in full, payment plan or compromise.
Submit a request to have the taxpayer’s federal Personal Income Tax refund applied to his/her delinquent Pennsylvania
Personal Income Tax liability.
Employ private collection agencies to collect delinquent taxes. Under Act 40 of 2005, additional collection costs, including
but not limited to fees of up to 39 percent of the amount due and attorney fees incurred in securing payment, may be
imposed on any liability not paid prior to referral to a collection agency or contract counsel.
Deny issuing of a tax clearance certificate to a taxpayer applying for or requesting renewal of a liquor, lottery,
cigarette or small games of chance license. The Department may also deny issuing a tax clearance certificate to a
taxpayer seeking clearance for a Commonwealth contract or a corporate bulk sale clearance certificate.
Deny the initial issuance of or revoke a Sales Tax license if delinquencies exist in the licensee’s account. If a business
makes taxable sales without a valid Sales Tax license, the Department may file a formal criminal complaint. Department
of Revenue enforcement agents may issue citations to people who sell or lease items subject to PA Sales Tax without a
valid Pennsylvania Sales Tax license.
Disclose, by publication or otherwise, the identity of any person whose Sales Tax license was refused, suspended or
revoked.
File a lien against the taxpayer and, in some cases, against the person responsible for payment of the delinquent tax.
The Office of Attorney General may file an action to seize the liened property of a taxpayer.
Disclose, by publication or otherwise, the taxpayer’s name or business name and liability information as a result of a
lien recorded in a county Prothonotary’s Office.
Garnish andndividual’s wages for delinquent taxes owed to the Commonwealth.
When an Inheritance Tax return was not filed or Inheritance Tax was not paid, the Department may file a petition for
citation against the personal representative of the decedent’s estate, which requires the representative to file the return,
pay the tax or appear before the Orphans’ Court.
Investigate and advance, through the Courts of Common Pleas, actions against delinquent taxpayers violating criminal
statutes.

Interest is calculated on a daily basis using the following formula:
INTEREST = LATE OR UNPAID TAX x NUMBER OF DAYS x APPLICABLE DAILY INTEREST RATE
Outstanding taxes due on or before Dec. 31, 1981 will bear interest at the old rates and using the
old calculation methods governed by individual laws and regulations for each of the various taxes.
