Personal Property Audit Representation

State and local taxing authorities are implementing more sophisticated personal property tax audit programs. Many are contracting with third-party companies that perform audit work on a contingent fee basis.

INTAX will make certain the impact of personal property tax audits is minimized. We will work with you on a single audit or assist in developing a strategy for dealing with current and future audits.

As your advocate, INTAX will handle all aspects of the audit from meeting with the auditor to filing formal appeals (if necessary). We can get involved at any stage of the audit, even after escaped assessments have been issued.

Proof is in the Savings

INTAX saved an equipment manufacturer $2,969,000 by successfully representing them during a California property tax audit. During the audit, we disputed a number of issues including the taxation of R&D equipment, service spares and leasehold improvements. We also succeeded in getting more favorable useful lives for depreciation of high-tech assets.

A Kentucky metal manufacturer engaged INTAX to appeal an audit that had resulted in tax bills of over $1,900,000. INTAX was successful in arguing that the audit misclassified certain manufacturing assets and improperly calculated taxable supplies and inventories. On behalf of our client, we settled the audit with a $103,000 payment.
