City Of Philadelphia Publishes Second List Of Top Business Tax Delinquents
Top business tax delinquents total over $50 million in outstanding judgments
Philadelphia, March 13, 2009 – Continuing the City’s enhanced collection efforts, the City of Philadelphia published its second list of delinquent taxpayers today. The list includes judgments against active businesses and judgments against officers of active and defunct businesses. The City is targeting those on the list for seizure of assets through Sheriff’s sales.
“The vast majority of Philadelphians pay their taxes, it’s just a small few who, for whatever reason, don’t feel that they have to pay their fair share,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter. “I want those people to know - we know who you are and we expect you to pay-up.”
Since the City published the original list of tax delinquents on November 12, 2008, it has collected more than $1.4 million and entered into agreements to receive another $1.4 million from those targeted for publication. The City has worked with the Sheriff to serve more than 150 writs since September of 2008, seizing assets on behalf of the City from the individuals and businesses that owe delinquent taxes. Overall, the Law Department’s judgment execution unit has collected more than $2.6 million during the current fiscal year.
The publication initiative is one of numerous enforcement programs undertaken by the City of Philadelphia’s Law and Revenue Departments and their collection agencies, all designed to enhance the collection of current and delinquent revenues.
