YOU MAY HAVE SALES TAX REFUNDS DUE YOUR MUNICIPALITY...
TRA has filed 1.8M in first quarter 2010 for Georgia cities and counties...
Tax Recovery Associates is working with a number of local (Georgia) governmental agencies-municipalities, counties, water and sewer associations, and others in making a determination of possible over-payments of sales & use taxes on exempt projects. You did not misread that statement; because you are a local government, your purchases are, generally not taxed. However, when general contractors purchase and install certain pollution control equipment on your behalf, there are avenues available for you - the ultimate owner of the equipment - to recoup the taxes that were paid by your contractor. This has produced significant tax refunds to other municipalities/governments throughout Georgia, but there are large number of municipalities who have not taken advantage of this opportunity to enhance the local budget. Please review the following criteria and, if so inclined, contact TRA with any questions or, potentially, an invitation to discuss a contingency-based project which could ultimately add revenue to your treasury.
Do you have an existing waste-water treatment facility?
During the previous three years have there been and capital outlays-building the facility,upgrading the equipment, replacing some or all equipment and was this work done by a contractor?
Have you previously filed an M7 application and subsequently a claim for refund with the Georgia Department of Revenue?
Do you have plans to use federal stimulus money or other revenue to build, replace, or upgrade waste water treatment facilities, in the future?
Should any of these questions have piqued your interest and you would like to discuss, at no obligation to you, any question relating to waste-water treatment facilities and the tax implications thereon, please contact TRA.
