SUCCESS STORY: 2016 and 2017

After one of the largest local businesses filed for bankruptcy. I was honored to be chosen to work with Restructuring Officer, District Bankruptcy Court. Work needed to be done quickly at the County Appraisal District; filed correct renditions, removed wrong and double taxed assets, correctly depreciated millions of dollars’ worth of equipment, applied for wavier of penalties and exemptions. Ended with tax liability reduction of $200,000, which helped pay local vendors unpaid claims. More good news: business was purchased and put back into operation creating jobs.

Business Personal Property - Rendition

Business Personal Property “BPP” – Rendition.

Correctly filing your Rendition could save you a lot of money.

My approach works. 

To Preparing a Rendition

  1. Physical evaluation of all assets, equipment and inventory. 
  2. Never give your business asset depreciation statement as a Rendition. It is used for purchase date and amount of purchase. 
  3. Many items on asset depreciation statement are obsolete, trash or sold. Needs to be Correctly Adjusted.
  4. List all Assets & Values. 
  5. Negotiate w/ CAD staff.

Depreciated and Allocated Values

Allocated Values

Mostly apply to Semi Tractors and Trailers, Planes, Boats.

That often travel across State or International boundaries.

Depreciation

 IRS and County Appraisal Districts have deferent Depreciation Schedules of values.

Appraisal District -have a minimum depreciated value between 8% to 34% of its original purchase price. 

IRS- filing of asset value can depreciate to $0 over years.

Some Appraisal District will tell you to give them your Asset and Depreciation statement as a Renditions. Never Do This, Call me first.
