How can I lower my tax bill?
We create a comprehensive analysis to identify nontaxable, obsolete or exempt assets and present your appeal to assessment officials and appeal boards. Various types of analysis tools are utilized to help reduce your valuations such as:

• Fixed asset value analysis
• Component cost analysis
• Accounting changes, transfer prices or purchase allocations
• Industry surveys
• Capacity and production analysis
• Asset rationalization analysis
• Environmental response asset analysis
• Inventory analysis
• Abatements & incentives
• Central and apportioned assessments
• Investment trend and age life studies
• Quantify accrued depreciation
• Special purpose real property value analysis
• CIP analysis

What types of exemptions are available?
Inventory is often eligible for special assessment, Freeport, interstate, or foreign commerce exemptions. Values may be reduced on surpluses or when obsolescence applies. Exemptions or special valuation may apply to pollution control, recycling, idle equipment, or self constructed assets.

How can I save tax money on older equipment?
We fully document increased depreciation and obsolescence of your on-site fixed assets.
