PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: LEVERAGE OUR PROPERTY TAX SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE.

  • Strategic Tax Planning for Capital Expenditures - while some companies schedule new capital projects according to growth demands, the majority deploy yearly capital expense for property, plant, and equipment. Most often the property tax is handled as an afterthought a year or more after the capital expenditures occur. Even though consultants are used to file appeals of value, property tax planning in conjunction with capital expenditures is virtually non-existent.

  • The Problem for Most - as capital costs are incurred there are several ways that invoices and documentation are allocated into a company’s records. These capital costs are commonly inclusive of specific types of expenses that typically are not taxable, dictated by state property tax statutes. The opportunity to effectively address these costs are lost once they become part of a company’s records and deemed an audit trail for a company’s property tax assessment. Government assessors do not look kindly on attempts to deviate from a company’s records absent any reasonable evidence to the contrary.

  • Our Solution - the most effective methodology to address property tax liability for capital spend is to begin to effectuate savings techniques during the capital deployment stages and while the capital is being allocated to your company’s records.

 
 

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: LEVERAGE OUR RETAIL INVENTORY CAPITALIZATION SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE.

  • Retailers Struggle with Inventory - dead inventory is costing retailers over $50 billion annually and last year alone markdowns cost retailers over $300 billion. Widespread discounting and price competition has caused many retailers to add too much debt to their balance sheets.

  • The Cause and Effect of Inventory for Retailers - inevitably, retailers will be unable to sell all of their SKUs and many are sold at a loss due to aged inventory. Issues with end of life cycle inventory have a negative drag effect on a retailer’s financial statements causing them to require more cash and other sources of ancillary capital.

  • Tax Strategies Offer a Path to Cash - Federal tax code offers a mechanism to monetize marked down, discounted inventory. Our strategy blends statutory tax law with your timing around markdowns and discounts, along with your method of tracking inventory. We provide you with a solution to increase cash flow, improve your balance sheet, and permanently reduce your effective tax rate.
