Philly Retail Delivery Tax Rejected PFMA and its members helped defeat a proposed Philadelphia retail delivery tax. Following extensive advocacy from PFMA, impacted association members, and a host of other stakeholders, Philadelphia City Council in early June rejected a tax on retail deliveries proposed as part of the FY 2027 budget. The proposal would have added a 25-cent tax on every retail order delivered in Philadelphia. Throughout PFMA’s advocacy, including meetings with city leaders and members of council, the association emphasized the regressive nature of the tax, the substantial administrative burden on businesses, and that a nominal exemption on food purchases written into the proposal would have no practical effect because of how customers shop for groceries in real terms, combining exempt food items with non-exempt items as a matter of course. City Council instead moved ahead with a $7 billion dollar budget that also rejected other proposed taxes, including a $1 fee on rideshares, and is on track to enact the plan ahead of the city’s new fiscal year July 1. Defeating the retail delivery tax is a significant victory for PFMA, PFMA members, and their customers in Philadelphia. Following the news of its rejection by City Council, the association expressed gratitude to members of council for their strong action against the regressive, burdensome proposal, and as always to PFMA members for engaging in important, and effective, grassroots advocacy with elected officials.
