A provider offering utility tax service can compete for a predominant use study for the facility. A predominant use study is completed at each plant or workplace. Each utility meter is assessed in the study. Depending on the state and local statutes, the utilities included are electricity, natural gas, and water.
The Benefits of the Study
In addition to the study assessing qualifying use of the specific utility on each meter, the study also generates the necessary reports and data to apply for a sales tax exemption and possible refund.
Most companies will find the refund and the future tax savings more than pay for the predominant use study. The utility tax service will manage all reporting, documentation and submit all the necessary reports for your business.

Should the company add processes or make changes to its processing facilities, the study can be completed again to match current qualified utility use on a per meter basis. Hiring a specialized service to complete the predominant use study as needed makes it easy for the business to manage the process.
