Ya, and you said they were "billed from the local tax authority"? That
is not how it works around here. Personal property tax is based off of
your assets value that is voluntarily reported. So the lease company
must have reported the assets. Make sure they reported the correct
value. It it retail value, what you paid, or what they are worth at
tax time? Brian RickG wrote: I havent looked yet but I suspect it's in the lease. The next issue is the amount of tax. It appears they charge for the full value of new equipment. As we all know, electronics depreciate very quickly. -RickGOn Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 1:20 AM, Faisal Imtiaz <fai...@snappydsl.net> wrote:You have to look at your leasing contract... For the correct answer.... Having said that.... Keep in mind that Leasing companies are providing an alternate form of financing, so they are not expecting to incur additional costs other than the equipment they are leasing / financing. I would do the math and see if the 'rate' they are charging you for using this alternate form of financing is comparative to borrowing it from the bank......then I would pay the property tax... Otherwise I would try to duke it out with them, but that depends on how your leasing contract is written.

They were billed from our local tax authority and in turn expect me to pay it. My CPA was surprised as well and said there may be some exceptions for Internet providers. Has anyone heard of this? -RickG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
