HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tax professionals are encouraged to learn about changes to state tax laws and policies during one-day seminars to be held across the state this fall, Secretary of Revenue Stephen H. Stetler announced today.

The Department of Revenue's fall tax seminars educate Pennsylvania tax professionals on personal income taxes, sales taxes, corporate taxes, compliance initiatives and using the department's Web site, www.revenue.state.pa.us, to establish tax accounts for new businesses, file tax returns and pay state taxes.

"For 27 years, the Revenue Department has offered these seminars to educate thousands of tax professionals on changes in tax laws," said Stetler. "I encourage accountants, lawyers and other tax professionals to take advantage of these informative sessions."

A nominal fee is charged for each seminar by the host institutions. Participants earn eight continuing professional education, or CPE, credits upon successful completion. Space in many of the locations is limited, so those interested in attending should reserve a seat as soon as possible. Pre-registration is required.
