Personal Property Tax Compliance and Audit Management

The Importance of Maximizing The Value Of Your Time

In today’s business world, companies must accomplish more with fewer resources. Every company, both public and private, struggles with the issue of how to complete daily tasks and special projects with limited resources.

One solution implemented by many companies is using outside resources for personal property tax compliance and audit management. Engaging an experienced firm to prepare property tax returns enables a company to use their internal resources on projects that add value to the company. Outsourcing this function means choosing a consulting firm that will perform this task accurately, meet all filing deadlines, and most importantly, save you time and money.

General Financial and Tax Consulting is the company of choice for personal property compliance because of our dedication to exceeding our customers’ expectations.

Personal property tax compliance is frequently considered a routine task, adding little, if any, value to the company. What is valuable, however, is the time required by a company’s experienced employees to complete this task. It often consumes several months and the time of several employees. If there have been changes in locations, tax laws, tax forms or filing deadlines, even more time is required. Companies are evaluating the real cost of preparing the returns with their internal resources and asking if these same resources should be used for value-added projects.

How It Works

GFTC has partnered with PTMS, the leader in property tax compliance software, to prepare returns for our clients. The PTMS system ensures accurate preparation and timely filing of personal property tax returns on behalf of our clients. We have demonstrated that, in many instances, outsourcing property tax compliance to us will actually result in reduced costs for our clients.

GFTC treats property tax compliance as more than a routine task. We ensure all filing deadlines are met to ensure clients avoid interest and penalties. Additionally, we can use this opportunity to reduce clients’ tax liability and correct their tax records so that benefits are realized in the current and future returns.

Our staff will review prior years’ returns and fixed asset records to verify returns were accurately filed, and reconcile this information to identify opportunities to reduce their tax liability. Tax savings, coupled with more time for internal resources to focus on other projects, makes using GFTC a smart decision for your personal property tax compliance.
