Business Personal Property

The original cost paid by the current owner, less freight, installation, and sales or use taxes and date of purchase is reported by the owner.

The Class Life and Recovery period is determined by using

IRS Publication 946 – Accelerated Depreciation

The assessor applies the proper depreciation schedule found in §137.122.3,

RSMo

, by applying the years since acquisition and the appropriate recovery period to determine the appraised value.

The appraised value is multiplied by the statutory assessment level for personal property, 33 1/3% to establish the assessed value.

 Cost approach with straight line depreciationSlide65

Statutorily required method.

137.115(9)

Use the trade-in value published in the October issue of the National Automobile Dealers' Association Official Used Car Guide.

The average trade-in valueFor vehicles two years old or newer from a vehicle's model year, the assessor may use a value other than average without performing a physical inspection of the motor vehicle.

(4) Other legal restrictions on the use of such property;

(5) Availability of water, electricity, gas, sewers, street lighting, and other public services for such property;

(6) Size of such property;

(7) Access of such property to public thoroughfares; and

(8) Any other factors relevant to a determination of the immediate most suitable economic use of such property.Slide74

CONSTITUTION

Article X, Section 15 in defining “other political subdivision” reads:

The term "other political subdivision," as used in this article, shall be construed to include townships, cities, towns, villages, school, road, drainage, sewer and levee districts and any other public subdivision, public corporation or public quasi-corporation having the power to tax.

Power to taxSlide100

STATUTES:

Section 251.020(6) RSMo. defines a political subdivision as:

 [C]ounties, townships, cities, towns, villages, whether or not incorporated, special districts excluding school districts, housing authorities, land clearance for redevelopment authorities, municipal, county, regional or other planning commissions and any other local public body created by the general assembly or exercising governmental functions.

Examples & Created & DutiesSlide101

COURTS

Does the entity do what the government has typically done in the past?

 Is the entity controlled by or directly answerable to one or more public officials, public entities or the public itself?

 How and by whom is the governmental or public entity formed (by the government itself or by voters)?

Could the governmental entity which formed this entity have done the same functions?

Look at the totality of the services

Look at the fundingSlide102

Timing

When they acquire ownership, the property is immediately exempt. Slide104

Leased Motor Vehicles

Lease is for at least one year

Political subdivision, religious, educational or charitable

If it’s a political subdivision and its leased – Exempt

If its religious, educational or charitable – You do the analysis of the entity and ensure its use is for charitable purpose and not for compensation packageSlide105

Exemptions - Vehicles

137.100

“School Bus Exemption” (8)– Applies to other situations

(7) Motor vehicles leased for a period of at least one year to this state or to any city, county, or political subdivision or to any religious, educational, or charitable organization which has obtained an exemption from the payment of federal income taxes, provided the motor vehicles are used exclusively for religious, educational, or charitable purposes; Slide106

DOR Authority – Sec. 301.025

301.025. 1…… if the applicant is an organization described pursuant to subdivision (5) of section 137.100 or subsection 1 of section 137.101, the application is accompanied by a document, in a form approved by the director, verifying that the organization is registered with the department of revenue or is determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a tax-exempt entity. If the director of the department of revenue has been notified by the assessor pursuant to subsection 2 of section 137.101, that the applicant's personal property is not tax exempt, then the organization's application shall be accompanied by a statement certified by the county collector or collector-treasurer of the county in which the organization's property was assessed showing that the state and county tangible personal property taxes for such previous tax year and all delinquent taxes due have been paid by the organization…..Slide107

Veteran’s Organizations

The amendment to section 137.100 grants an exemption of  property “belonging to”  a veterans’ organization without regard to use (similar to the language in 137.100 exempting the property of political subdivisions), though it does require that the organization be a not-for-profit.  Interestingly, in contrast to the statute, the constitutional amendment inserts the new exemption language in such a way that it also requires that the property “not held for private or corporate profit.”

Ownership (& use)Slide108

Solar Energy systems

UseSlide109

Religious, Education, Charitable
