Staying compliant is tough, especially for teams still using manual compliance processes. People on compliance teams spend hours managing documents, chasing down approvals, and checking regulatory standards by hand, often leading to mistakes and missed deadlines. The bottom line—manual compliance operations can slow down workflows, increase risk, and make it tough to keep up with ever-changing requirements.
When every new regulation or request means more spreadsheets, more emails, and more stress, it’s no wonder compliance professionals feel overwhelmed. Effective compliance management should support a culture of compliance across all employees, not just a few “go-to” experts. Today, we’re exploring real signs that manual compliance has become a problem, and what better practices can look like.
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.
