PennDOT leaders are looking into adding a $0.25 delivery tax on packages delivered in the state by Amazon, UPS and FedEx.
YORK, Pa. — “This proposal is gaining traction at the state as well as the federal level.”
PennDOT leaders are looking into adding a $0.25 delivery tax on packages delivered in the state by Amazon, UPS and FedEx.
“The concept definitely illustrates that there’s a potential for a nice chunk of revenue,” said Jennie Granger.
The proposal is still in the early stages. The money would help pay for fixing highways across the state.
Jennie Granger, a PennDOT Deputy Secretary says the tax could bring in between 200 to 250 million every year.
“I think this could be a significant funding source whether it was for transit or highways or local roadway networks,” said Granger.
