Pollution Control
Credits and Exemptions
In order to meet clean air and water
quality standards, many states encourage investments
in and provide multiple tax exemptions for equipment
designed to control and reduce pollution. Paradigm
Tax Group’s Pollution Control experts possess
a unique knowledge of the process of identifying
a client’s existing pollution control equipment
and securing the multi-tax benefits associated
with that equipment. Paradigm Tax Group offers
a three phase Pollution Control Program beginning
with feasibility, followed by identification
and certification of pollution controlling assets
with proper authorities. The final step is verification
which includes providing exemption documentation
and assisting the client with filing exemption
applications. Paradigm Tax Group experts can
be with you every step toward verification and
exemption.
Purchase Price Allocation
Most assessing authorities consider the
sale price of a property to be the best indication
of market value. It is, however, common practice
for a commercial or industrial building sale price
to reflect more than just the real property component
of the transaction. Paradigm Tax Group’s
Purchase Price Allocation experts specialize in
extracting assets such as personal property and
other intangibles that are not part of the real
property from the reported sale price. This results
in an assessment below the sale price, thus saving
significant tax dollars for the duration of ownership.
Our experts have experience in providing Purchase
Price Allocation services for many property types
including retailers, hoteliers and manufacturers.
Asset Tagging
Meticulous record keeping is essential
in minimizing a company’s tangible personal
property tax burden. Many of our clients have benefited
from Paradigm Tax Group’s Asset Tagging service
to assist in not only keeping accurate records,
but also controlling the location of assets and
maintaining consistent and compliant valuation
schedules. Taxing authorities look for consistency
in reporting and asset classification within the
rules and regulations of its jurisdiction. A Paradigm
Tax Group expert is trained to inventory, classify
and report assets to authorities that are consistent,
accurate and within jurisdictional regulations.

enemy. Paradigm Tax Group is in merger and acquisition
