S. § 8111-A(d) to publish the rate of the Public Utility Realty Tax Act (PURTA) surcharge in the form of a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin by October 1, 2003, and by each October 1 thereafter. The tax rate established in 72 P. S. § 8111-A(d) shall be imposed upon gross receipts taxes as provided in 72 P. S. § 8111-A(d) for the period beginning the next January 1.
The result of the PURTA surcharge calculation provided in 72 P. S. § 8111-A for the tax year beginning January 1, 2005, is .0006 mill. Therefore, a PURTA surcharge under 72 P.

The additional 0.0006 mill shall be paid upon each dollar of gross receipts reported and settled in accordance with 72 P.
