Any person whose total income from all sources
is less than $10,000 per annum is exempt from the per capita tax assessed
by the City of Bradford, Pennsylvania. In addition, any person 75
years of age, or older, regardless of income, is exempt from the per
capita tax.
The person claiming exemption as provided in §
196-32 hereof shall make an affidavit on a form provided by the City for that purpose that the person's income from all sources in the year for which the exemption is claimed was less than $10,000 per annum. The affidavit shall be filed with the City Treasurer, who may require, in his discretion, further proof.
Upon verification of the affidavit by the City
Treasurer, the claimant shall be exempt from payment of the per capita
tax for the year claimed and, in the event that he has paid the tax,
shall be refunded the amount which he has paid.
No refund shall be made to a claimant unless
the affidavit claiming exemption shall have been filed before June
1 of the year following the year for which exemption is claimed.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person who makes a false statement for the
purpose of obtaining exemption from the per capita tax or refund of
this tax to which he is not entitled commits a summary offense and,
upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than
$1,000 or to imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or both.
