PA SGOC 2013 Reporting Requirement waived

This just in for all of you PA Small Games of Chance Annual filers that were sweating the Feb 1, 2014 deadline to file your Small Games of Chance Activity with the PA Department of Revenue:

The 2013 Reporting Requirement has been waived.

You will NOT have to file your SGOC activity with the State until Feb 1, 2015.

If your not using Myers Integrated Systems, LLC Sienna Database System, do your organization a huge favor by beginning to use it right away.   Our SDS customers were NOT sweating the 2013 reporting requirement.  The SDS system is easily the most comprehensive easy to use complete Small Games of Chance Recording and Reporting system and is the ONLY system that was approved by the PA Department of Revenue prior to the 11/27/13 HB290 and HB1098 laws being passed.  Our system will be re-approved soon so our customers will NOT have to key SGOC activity into the PA Department of Revenue's website in 2014.

The SDS system produces ALL of the PLCE Schedule Reports AND will be filing electronically with the PA Department of Revenue in 2015.  The system is being modified to adhere to the new SGOC laws (60-40 etc.) and new and current customers will receive the updates when they become available.

We want to wish all of our customers and ALL US Veterans a belated Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year !!

PA SGOC Update: PA Department of Revenue updates website with message and info

The PA Department of Revenue updated their website with some information that is informative and will benefit PA SGOC licensee's to read.

The information listed and provided by the PA Department of Revenue seems to be in line with most if not all of our recent blogs where we posted our interpretation of the new laws.  However we still do not see clarification of the term proceeds.  We assume it is net proceeds and not gross proceeds but this has not yet been confirmed.

When you go to the website you will see the following message:


Taverns will want to check out the following site which is listed on the PA Dept. of Revenue's site:

Pennsylvania Small Games of Chance ~ Are You Ready for Feb 1 2014 ?

Fraternal and Social Organizations with Small Games of Chance Activity that meet specific filing requirements will need to file ANNUALY and not Semi-Annually.  Nobody will file semi-annually as semi-annual filing was removed after the recently passed/signed PA SGOC HB1098 and HB290 laws.

All SGOC activity will need to be accounted for beginning with games in play on or after January 1, 2013 and Out of play prior to 1/1/2014 (which means it was not active after 12/31/2013).  Activity includes the 6 games legal games (in late January 2014, 2 new games will also be legal) and also all of your SGOC transactions in 2013.

Save yourself the stress and worry about what will happen when you have to file your SGOC activity while protecting your SGOC license by purchasing the most comprehensive SGOC Recording, Tracking and Reporting system available,  Myers Integrated Systems; Sienna Database System (SDS).

You can purchase the SDS system by using your SGOC Gross Proceeds (this is before the 70-30 split on the Net Proceeds). 

All of our customers will tell you that it saves them hours a week.

You can produce EACH of PA LCE Bureau recommended Schedule Report by providing the date range.

SDS customers include many American Legions, VFW's, Elk Lodges, German, Polish and Italian Clubs, Sportsmen's, Italian Society's, Fire hall clubs/organizations, 40&8 and more.  Our customers are located all over the state of Pennsylvania.  All of our active customers will have their system upgraded in February-March 2014 to adhere to the recent law changes.  Ex. from 70-30 to 60-40 etc.

We are currently modifying our SDS system to account for the new SGOC laws, specifically the change from semi-annual to annual.   Myers Integrated Systems, LLC was approved to file electronically with the PA Department of Revenue prior to the recent law changes and we will be approved and listed on the states website again very soon so our customers will NOT have to key anything into the PA Department of Revenue's website. 

We have only a few dates left on our calendar for 2013 and we are already making appointments in 2014, help your organization and whomever is currently recording your SGOC Activity by providing them with our easy to use system.  Take advantage of this opportunity to help yourself.

For more information about our SDS system you can contact us by going here:  http://www.myersintsystems.com/contact.html

Disclaimer:  The information above is what Myers Integrated Systems, LLC is predicting will occur and it is just that (our prediction).  This is our prediction given our interpretation of the newly passed HB1098 and HB290 laws and our experience.

When the PA Liquor Control Enforcement Bureau completes their review and publishes the specific details, we will know for sure what happens next.  Currently the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Enforcement Bureau is reviewing the recent SGOC Laws (message below is currently displayed on the PA LCE Bureau SGOC site).
