Retail Incentive Program and Related Retailer Incentive Programs for Fiscal Year 2021-2022; Amended Notice
[51 Pa.B. 4960]
[Saturday, August 14, 2021]Under the State Lottery Law (72 P.S. §§ 3761-101—3761-314) and 61 Pa. Code § 803.11 (relating to powers and duties of the Secretary of Revenue) and under Title 4, Amusements (4 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—505) the Secretary of Revenue hereby provides public notice of changes to the Retail Incentive Program and related Retailer Incentive Programs that were published at 51 Pa.B. 3573 (June 26, 2021).
The Pennsylvania Lottery intends to modify the sales growth percentage goals for the Sales Growth Incentive Program as set forth in subsections 8(d) and 8(e) (relating to the sales growth incentive program) of the notice. These changes are consistent with the Pennsylvania Lottery's record sales for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and the updated goals for Fiscal Year 2021-2022. Finally, section 8 is also modified to add subsection (g), which clarifies that the changes to subsections 8(d) and 8(e) are retroactive to July 1, 2021. The correct version of this document is as follows, with ellipses referring to the existing text as it appeared at 51 Pa.B. 3573—3577 (June 26, 2021):
* * * * * 8. Sales Growth Incentive Program: Retailers may qualify for a Sales Growth Incentive, in addition to the Standard Retailer Commission, by meeting the requirements of this section.
* * * * * (d) A Retailer who exceeds their prior year sales figure by at least 0.01%, but not more than 3.99%, for any Quarter in the Fiscal Year to which this notice applies, shall be awarded an additional 0.75% incentive above the Standard Retailer Commission. For example, assuming that the Retailer has met all other requirements of this notice, a Retailer with a sales baseline of $100,000 for a Quarter, who raises their sales by 0.01% to $100,010, shall be entitled to the Sales Growth Incentive of 0.75% in addition to the Standard Retailer Commission and will be entitled to a Sales Growth Incentive payment of $750.08. With the Standard Retailer Commission of $5,000.50 on sales of $100,010, the Retailer would receive a total payment of $5,750.58 for that Quarter.
(e) A Retailer who exceeds their sales baseline figure for any Quarter by at least 4% shall be awarded an additional 1.50% incentive above the Standard Retailer Commission. For example, assuming that the Retailer has met all other requirements of this notice, a Retailer with a sales baseline of $100,000 for a Quarter, who raises their sales by 4% to $104,000, shall be entitled to a 1.50% incentive in addition to the Standard Retailer Commission and will be entitled to Sales Growth Incentive payment of $1,560. With the Standard Retailer Commission of $5,200 on sales of $104,000, the Retailer would receive a total payment of $6,760 for that Quarter.
* * * * * (g) The sales growth percentage goals set forth in subsections 8(d) and 8(e) are retroactive to July 1, 2021.
