Chadds Ford Township supervisors have reversed an earlier ordinance and gone back to instituting a Business Privilege Tax (BPT). The board voted to drop the $225 per year Business Registration Fee from last year and return to the BPT. The fee applies to “all resident and non-resident persons and entities conducting business or maintaining a place of business within Chadds Ford Township,” read Supervisors Vice Chair Kathleen Goodier. Businesspeople are required to file with the tax collector and file annual returns, then make proper payment based on codified deadlines. The board did not announce what the BPT would be, but the previous tax was $100 per year. Penalties for failure to comply will be enforced.
