HARRISBURG If Pennsylvania Rep. Stephanie Borowicz has her way, residents in the Commonwealth won’t have to pay sales tax when purchasing firearms and ammunition.
On Wednesday, Borowicz (R-Clinton/Centre) issued the following statement regarding her co-sponsor memo seeking support for her legislation, which would exclude firearms and ammunition purchases from Pennsylvania’s Sales and Use Tax:
“Both our state and federal constitutions declare that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be questioned or infringed, yet law-abiding Pennsylvania citizens are subject to several taxes and fees relating to the purchase and ownership of firearms.
