    Bulk Sales Notice

    The Department of Revenue is responsible for enforcing the bulk sale law and ensuring a purchaser does not unknowingly become liable for all of a seller's Pennsylvania tax liabilities.

     

    Overview

    The bulk sale law applies when taxpayers transfer more than 51 percent of assets, including real property and classes of assets such as real estate or machinery and equipment. It requires all purchasers to secure from sellers bulk sale clearance certificates.
