Governor Wolf has announced that, over the next three months, businesses that collect Pennsylvania sales tax will not have to make Accelerated Sales Tax prepayments. In addition to this waiver, the state’s Department of Revenue had also already extended the deadline to file state personal income tax returns by 90 days, extended the deadline to file informational returns related to PA S corporations, partnerships, and estates and trusts and extended the due date for corporations with tax returns due in May.

To learn more, you may view the Office of the Governor’s press release, the Department of Revenue’s page on Accelerated Sales Tax Prepayments or the website for the Office of the Governor.

The Chester County Community Foundation is working with county departments, philanthropic partners and nonprofits throughout the Chester County region to coordinate COVID-19 funding initiatives. Nonprofits, especially those that provide basic needs such as food, healthcare and financial support have an immediate increased need for unrestricted funding to meet heightened needs.

The Community Foundation’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund provides flexible resources to Chester County nonprofits that are disproportionately impacted by coronavirus and the economic consequences of this outbreak.
