Utility Exemption Studies

Results

While we have experience in all industries, we have achieved a high degree of success for clients in non-traditional manufacturing environments by qualifying what might not typically be viewed as tax-exempt activity. Our attention to detail in depicting the exempt process in the client utility study has on many occasions revealed potential for additional exemption opportunities. 

  • Qualified a global defense contractor to support its claim for exemption in excess of $1.8 million, in addition to prospective savings
  • Identified and qualified $700,000 in refunds for a national food processor for five locations
  • Provided studies to qualify a national roofing and asphalt company for ten locations, resulting in $500,000 in refunds
  • Increased percentages of exemption for a global food processor/distributor at one single location yielding $400,000 in refunds and $75,000 in annual prospective savings
  • Provided studies for a grocery chain to offset a $200,000 audit assessment on utilities. Provided studies to a global clothing manufacturer qualifying additional processes that supported manufacturing at one facility, resulting in refunds in excess of $128,000
  • Assisted a global electronics firm in restructuring its utility purchases for one location in order to realize annual savings of $100,000
  • Qualified software development activities for a global electronics firm, resulting in $100,000 in refunds, plus prospective savings
  • Increased percentages of exemption by as much as 22% for a national food chain dairy, resulting in almost $70,000 in retroactive refunds as well as prospective savings
  • Qualified a global semiconductor company at one fabless facility for electricity purchases, resulting in refunds in excess of $55,000, plus prospective savings
  • Qualified the gas consumption for a national plastics manufacturer facility, resulting in excess of $50,000 in refunds, plus prospective savings
