Important Notice to Taxpayers
Failure to receive a tax notice does not relieve a taxpayer from the responsibility of paying taxes. Nor does it relieve the taxpayer of following the discount and penalty dates as if the notice had been received on a timely basis (72 P.S. § 5511.7).
USPS Postmark Dates
The USPS has issued the following statement:
“While we are not changing our postmarking practices, we have made adjustments to our transportation operations that will result in some mail pieces not arriving at our originating processing facilities on the same day that they are mailed. This means that the date on the postmark applied at our processing facilities will not necessarily match the date on which the customer’s mail piece was collected by a letter carrier or dropped off at the retail location.
As before, a customer can ensure that a postmark is applied to his or her mail piece, and that the date on the postmark matches the date of mailing, by visiting a Postal Service retail location and requesting a manual (local) postmark at the retail counter when tendering their mail piece. Manual postmarks will be applied free of charge.”
Tax Collectors use the postmark to verify timely payments. Due to this new USPS policy, taxpayers may experience a delay of one to two days between submitting their payment in a mailbox, in a blue collection box, or mail slot at their local post office and the date it is processed. To avoid late fees, please mail your payments several days ahead of the deadline to make sure they are received prior to a deadline date.
