IFO Projects 2019 PA Impact Fee Revenue Fell by $53.6M (21%)

| | |
In 2019 Pennsylvania raised a record high of $247 million from its version of a severance tax, called an impact fee, based on drilling activity from 2018 (see PA IFO Report Says Record High Impact Tax for 2018 – $247M). The state's Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) is out with projections for how much revenue will be raised this year (based on drilling in 2019). Given we hit a downturn last year, you won't be surprised to learn the impact fee will drop by $53.6 million (21%), to a projected $198.2 million.
