I’m paying full tax! What do I do?

If you’re paying full sales tax on potentially exempt meters, you’re leaving money on the table. Twenty-six states allow manufacturing companies to claim sales tax exemptions on their utility usage.Four states extend tax exemptions to restaurants. If you’re in one of these states, and you have one or more utility meters in your manufacturing facility or restaurant, let's get started. It's time to determine what percentage of the sales tax on each meter’s annual energy usage is tax exempt with Utility Study by Enguard.

I need to establish my percentage of exemption based on my state.

If you’ve never conducted a comprehensive utility study, you may be claiming too high a sales tax exemption. Proper documentation can back up your claim. Without it, you may be audited, in which case the state can assess unpaid tax in arrears, as well as interest and penalties. Worse, once the state determines that you’ve underpaid sales tax in the past, you may find they come back for new audits more frequently.
