NEW FOR 2013

Due to recent legislation, Act 52 of 2013, it was necessary to change the forms for filing Shares and Loans Tax. Please use the appropriate

form according to the below descriptions.

• RCT-132 is used to report Pennsylvania Shares and Loans Tax prior to Act 52 of 2013. This form MUST be used by all bank, trust

and domestic title insurance companies to report loans tax for year ending Dec. 31, 2012 and prior, and shares tax for Jan. 01, 2013

and prior.

• RCT-132A is used to report Pennsylvania Title Insurance Companies Shares and Loans Tax. This form is ONLY to be used by domes-

tic title insurance companies to report loans tax for year ending Dec. 31, 2013 and shares tax for Jan. 01, 2014.

• RCT-132B is used to report Pennsylvania Bank and Trust Companies Shares and Loans Tax. This form is ONLY to be used by nation-

al and state banks and trust companies to report loans tax for year ending Dec. 31, 2013 and shares tax for Jan. 01, 2014.

The electronic funds transfer requirement was reduced from $10,000 to $1,000; all payments of $1,000 or more made after Dec. 31, 2013,

must be made electronically.

Taxpayers may request a six month extension to file this report by filing REV-426.

Note: Act 52 of 2013 — which grants an automatic PA extension to file the PA Corporate Tax Report, RCT-101, if the taxpayer has a valid

federal extension — DOES NOT apply to this tax.

REMINDER

• Revenue ID: A corporation’s Revenue ID is a new, unique, 10-digit number assigned by the department to a taxpayer, separate

from any federally issued identification number(s) or Pennsylvania license number(s).

As the department continues to transition into an integrated tax system, a 10-digit Revenue ID will be assigned and communicated

to each taxpayer. A corporation’s seven-digit PA Tax Account ID will continue to be accepted by the department on tax forms and

schedules, but upon assignment of a 10-digit Revenue ID to a taxpayer, the department will begin using the 10-digit Revenue ID on

outbound correspondence in lieu of referencing the seven-digit Tax Account ID.

• Line-by-line instructions for RCT-132A are available.

• RCT-132A is available as a fill-in form on the department’s website at

• REV-1175, Schedule AR, (explanation for amending) must be included when filing an amended report.

• One extension coupon (REV-426) will be used for all specialty taxes. The coupon and the tax report (RCT-132A) will not be mailed.

These forms are available as fill-in documents on the department’s website at The REV-426 extension

coupon can be filed electronically through e-TIDES at However, electronic filing of the tax report is not

available. The report should be completed using the computer-based fill-in form, printed and submitted by mail to the department.
