Re: Berkheimer
If it's that "silly" of an idea.....then why wouldn't the State turn over their collections to a private concern and the same with the Fed's and the IRS?
If Berkheimer is relying 100% on the State of Pennsylvania to check and see if everyone filed their local.....exactly what is Berkheimer doing that the State isn't already doing? Tack on the additional 1% to the State income tax return and be done with it.

Re: Berkheimer
I agree with you on the application of some of that though. But when it comes to Pa personal income tax, it doesn't apply. Most of the Pa income tax is withheld from wages and paid to the state by employers. Most of the local taxes are the same.....withheld and paid to for profit local collectors. The State then pays school districts and municipality's their share.
How could another layer of cost possibly be "more effective" than what the State is doing? Let's see.....the local collector pays for facility rent, computer hardware and software, employees, phone systems and monthly cost. Plus the local collector takes his cut. The state already has this taken care of.
Me thinks the Harrisburg politician is providing a job for his special buddies. At the cost of us.....the taxpayers.

Re: Berkheimer
Not trying to be argumentative here.
Just like companies hire contracting firms to perform certain functions, so does the government... and they do it because it saves the company/government money. Otherwise, you’re right, why do it?
More to your question, contracting firms save their customer’s money through various efficiencies, technologies and economies of scale. Also, their employees are often paid less.

Re: Berkheimer
They can't and from my involvement with my local township I can tell you our costs to taxpayers is less and our compliance is higher with Berkheimer. It's like the knuckleheads that think in house school busing is cheaper and safer, again BS we saved millions and probably now have a better safety rating.

Re: Berkheimer
is that where you burn it down? chill out.
ah, but if they didn't collect a tax, there wouldn't be a cost associated with collecting a tax and there wouldn't be an expense to pay with said tax.
although the government is WELL known for spending money it doesn't have...There is no way to make it out alive...
