That’s still a substantial amount of tax revenue. However I did not realize how much the revenue has gone down. The feds getting rid of the estate tax which effectively repealed the Pa Estate tax and legislation allowing the ability to pass down family owned businesses and farms without paying the tax has had a huge effect on revenue. So yes there are ways to avoid the tax and Estate lawyers do earn their keep.

It brings in about a billion a year. And the income tax on fees paid to estate planning lawyers for those trying to avoid the tax, probably brings in more than that.

When I worked for the city of Philadelphia in the early 90’s we had flag day off as a paid holiday.

Saw my first Phillies game there. Amazing place. Got off the train at north Philly station and walked over. There is a church there now. I remember the last game the fans ripped it apart looking for souvenirs

The pass rate on the bar exam from 2022 was almost 70%. Which is where it’s been for years. Were there that many fewer people taking the bar exam?? https://www.ncbex.org/statistics-and-research/bar-exam-results/
