(a) Occupation taxes.--In accordance with the act of August 9, 1955 (P.L.323, No.130), known as The County Code, the county commissioners in counties of the fourth through eighth classes may by resolution levy a tax on trades, occupations, professions and persons who follow no occupation or calling.
(b) List of taxables.--
(1) The county assessment office shall provide a listing each year to the county commissioners of all taxable persons within the county. This list shall set forth the following information for each taxable person:
(i) Full name and street address.
(ii) Respective municipality and school district.
(iii) Occupation.
(2) If a taxable person resides in a house which does not have a street number address, then an address as definite as possible shall be given. The county assessment office shall accept the substitute address of any person certified by the Office of Victim Advocate as eligible to participate in the address confidentiality program pursuant to 23 Pa.C.S. Ch. 67 (relating to domestic and sexual violence victim address confidentiality).
(3) A county assessment office shall not be required to maintain an occupation tax assessment roll if no taxing district in the county levies an occupation tax.
(c) Exemption.--Except where a higher exemption level is specified in law, each county, city, borough, incorporated town, township and school district may, by ordinance or resolution, exempt any person whose total income from all sources is less than $12,000 per year from its per capita or similar head tax and occupation tax, or any portion thereof. Each taxing authority may adopt regulations for the processing of claims for the exemption.
