GM DEALERS - Obtaining Necessary Certificates from DOR and L&I According to Wind-Down Agreements
In order to receive the final wind-down payment amount, GM requires wind-down dealers, amongst other requirements, to comply “with all applicable bulk transfer, sales tax transfer or similar laws.” The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue has ruled that Pennsylvania’s Fiscal Code is not applicable to the wind-down transaction (see attached ruling from the Department of Revenue).
