Municipal budgets often pressure assessors for maximum tax revenue. tax liens Taxes online. Yet, sophisticated business people frequently overlook a significant approach to reduce their tax burden. We recently completed a pollution control tax exemption application for a national, merchant plant developer that is constructing a combined cycle electric generation facility in New Hampshire. While preparing the application and subsequent documents, we observed that, too often, New Hampshire businesses overlook the opportunity to reduce their municipal, and for utilities, their state, tax burdens through pollution control tax exemptions. tax liens Ir repeater. I just attended a Center for Business Intelligence conference on utility taxation in Chicago and observed anecdotally that the neglect of such tax exemptions extends beyond New Hampshire's borders. The ExemptionMost, if not all, states provide some form of exemption from taxation for businesses that construct, install or otherwise place in use facilities or devices at least partially for the purpose of pollution control. For example, in New Hampshire, any business that "builds, constructs, installs, or places in use . tax liens Suv tax credit. . . any treatment facility, device, appliance, or installation ['facility or device'] wholly or partly for the purpose of reducing, controlling, or eliminating any source of air or water pollution" is entitled to a pollution control tax exemption. The tax exemption is in an amount equal not only to the value of the facility or device, but also for any real estate necessary therefor. If the facility or device is only partially for the purpose of pollution control, the exemption is in an amount equal to the percentage therefor determined to be for the purpose of pollution control. Critically, the tax exemption extends for the entire period of time during which the facility or device is used for pollution control. When a facility or device is only partially for pollution control, some states apply a "primary purpose" test. Under this test, the primary purpose of the facility or device must be pollution control for it to qualify for a partial tax exemption. Many states, like New Hampshire, either have expressly rejected or at least do not apply the primary purpose test. In these states, if any portion of the purpose for the facility or device is pollution control, the business is eligible for a corresponding percentage tax exemption. A business' likelihood of success for a pollution control tax exemption for facilities or devices like taller than otherwise necessary exhaust stacks, water discharge pipes, erosion control measures and computer monitoring equipment may be impacted by the test applied in the specific jurisdiction. The ProcessGenerally, the process provides for the following: (1) an application to an administrative agency; (2) an appeal within the administrative agency or to an administrative board; and (3) court proceedings as a last resort. In New Hampshire, the process commences with the submission of an application to the Department of Environmental Services ("DES"). The application must contain a description of the pollution control facilities or devices and describe their function(s). The application must include a statement of the total cost of the facilities and devices and, where applicable, must state the portion of the total cost allocable to each function. DES "investigates" the application. The investigation generally includes a site visit to the facility and requests for such additional information as DES deems necessary.
