RCT-123 Report Image

Per Surplus Lines Law Section 1621, the surplus lines tax levied by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is three percent (3%) of taxable gross premiums charged less any return premium for insurance placed with either an eligible surplus lines insurer or other non-admitted insurer for the calendar year.

A Gross Premium Tax Report (RCT-123) with your tax payment must be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue on or before January 31 of each year for the completed preceding calendar year whether or not any surplus lines business was produced in the preceding calendar year.

IMPORTANT NOTE; Summary information plus an image of the full copy (all pages) of the original Gross Premium Tax Report (RCT 123) must be electronically submitted to PSLA and not PID.

PSLA reviews the uploaded RCT-123 Report image to insure it is consistent with the RCT-123 data entered into EFS. If discrepancies are found, the report state is set to “Filing Returned” in EFS (Electronic Filing System) and an email notification is sent to the Tax Return contact listed in EFS. The agency must revise/submit a corrected report with associated RCT-123 image.
