Business privilege and mercantile tax (BPM) is a tax assessed on the gross receipts of specific types of businesses, commonly retailers and wholesalers. Originating from the Pennsylvania Local Tax Enabling Act of 1965, this tax serves as compensation for businesses availing local governmental services, such as public safety measures.
BPM has undergone multiple changes since 1965. By 1988, the Pennsylvania Local Tax Reform Commission labeled it as a “nuisance tax,” primarily due to inadequacies in the legislative framework and vagueness surrounding the tax base. Still, jurisdictions that had existing BPM were allowed to continue its imposition.
Your Employer Identification Number (EIN) is one of the most important numbers you’ll need to run your business. Understanding what an EIN verification letter is, why it matters, how to get one, and when you’ll need copies can help you stay ahead of your workload while avoiding compliance issues.

Multi-state compliance is complex enough without relying on spreadsheets and sticky notes. When federal agencies come knocking or an employee files a complaint, the consequences ripple through entire organizations. From wrongful termination claims to discrimination lawsuits, these cautionary tales prove that manual HR processes leave companies dangerously exposed.
