What I'm curious about, is that every article I've read about this change in Pennsylvania includes the following details: "Magazines, newspapers, and digital version of the Bible are exempt from the new Pennsylvania tax."
This is correct about magazines and newspapers by subscription, and is also true about physical subscriptions as well. However, there is nothing in the new bill (or existing tax laws) about bibles or digital bibles being tax free. In fact, existing physical bibles and other printed religious material is already taxed.
So I find it amusing that this article and others keep publicizing this non-fact.
Here's the full act if anyone is interested http://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/Legis/PN/Public/btCheck.cfm?txtType=PDF&sessYr=2015&sessInd=0&billBody=H&billTyp=B&billNbr=1198&pn=3731 http://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/Legis/PN/Public/btCheck.... (PDF)
