The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is designed to create equality for people with disabilities as they live and work in the world. The ADA requires businesses, employers, and public services to make simple modifications or adaptations that create a greater level of accessibility for people who are unable to complete tasks the same way that a non-disabled person would.
Nearly 25 percent of the current workforce lives and works with some type of disability.
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.
The business world is made up of thousands of legal entities. In simple terms, a legal entity is an individual, business, or organization that has specific legal responsibilities. These duties are set by various governing bodies, ranging from your local city council to the federal government
