Pa. revenue from Marcellus Shale income taxes lower than projected
A re-evaluation of state personal income tax returns has shown Pennsylvania received much less tax money than it expected from natural gas royalties.
Pennsylvania’s Department of Revenue last week released an updated report on how much Marcellus Shale-related revenue it received in personal income taxes — a figure that shines light on the amount, in rent and royalties, that state residents are receiving from gas companies.
The report downsized its original estimate of $102.7 million to an actual figure of $46.2 million, a revision that Sharon Ward, director of the liberal-leaning Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, said ran against industry claims its tax contributions were sufficient.
“We have maintained that the industry for a long time has overstated the economic benefit of Marcellus Shale gas drilling and understated its impact,” Ward said. “This revision by the Department of Revenue is an acknowledgment that their optimistic estimates have not been borne out.
'How women are key to economic growth' | Liberal Conspiracy
The rise of working women has been a critical factor in raising living standards of low to middle income households in the last 40 years, according to new research out today.
It is the first major study breaking down the factors which drove household income growth over recent decades.
It found that over one quarter (27%) of all income growth for these households came from women’s work, with only 8% from men. In 1968, 86% of household gross employment income in this group came from men and 14% from women; by 2008, 63% came from men and 37% from women.
Researchers say that growing the incomes of women will be key to economic growth and powering the economy again, since they have been hit the most.
The research was conducted by the Institute of Fiscal Studies for the Resolution Foundation think-tank.
Gavin Kelly, chief executive of the Resolution Foundation said
This report shows the massive contribution of working women to the incomes of hard-pressed households, as well as the growing role of tax credits. But given female employment has now flat-lined – and with cuts to tax credits and less support for childcare – it’s not obvious how families are going to raise their incomes in the future....
