Can I just make one payment for both the State and County portions?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Separate payments will need to be made to the State Department of Taxation (DOTAX) and to the County Director of Finance. Act 1 (2021), prevented DOTAX from assisting the counties with billing and collection of the County TAT.  The County will maintain a separate County TAT account for each taxpayer.  If a single payment is made to the State that includes both State and County TAT, you will receive a refund of the portion not owed to the State.  You will then have to remit the payment separately to the appropriate jurisdiction.
