About

  • In February 2024, Philadelphia City Council approved Resolution #240108 to reconvene the Philadelphia Tax Reform Commission. The Commission has been charged with conducting a comprehensive analysis of Philadelphia’s tax structure, including state-imposed taxes, and providing recommendations on reforms to make it more inclusive, equitable, and growth-oriented.
  • Originally formed in 2002, the Commission’s last report was issued in 2003. With changing economic conditions and evolving fiscal challenges, this renewed effort includes an evaluation of past recommendations and exploration of new reforms for potential implementation in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget and beyond.
  • The 15-member Commission includes four members appointed by Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker; four by Council President Johnson; one by City Controller Christy Brady; and one by each of the six local Chambers of Commerce in Philadelphia. The resolution was introduced by Councilmember Isaiah Thomas and sponsored by Council President Johnson.
