House Republicans Work to Create Economic Opportunity for PA Families

To help alleviate the strain of rising costs, last month House Republicans launched the “Freedom Through Affordability” initiative. This package of bills is aimed at reducing costs in key areas, creating financial flexibility and stability for families across the Commonwealth. The initiative includes bills that would suspend the gas tax; exempt cell phone and energy bills from the Gross Receipts Tax; lower the Personal Income Tax from 3.07% to 2.99%; and more. All proposals would be effective for six months and, when combined, are estimated to save families up to $1,100.

We are working to make the Commonwealth a place where families can afford to plant strong roots. We know that when Pennsylvanians keep more of what they earn, they have the freedom and flexibility to make investments in their future. The Freedom Through Affordability initiative intends to provide relief and increase economic opportunities for our constituents from Erie to Philadelphia and everywhere in between.

While temporary, House Republicans are hopeful these tax relief proposals will facilitate discussion about creating permanent tax relief for Pennsylvanians.

Stay tuned as we continue to delve into more tax relief proposals in the coming weeks.
