Property Tax Advisory Group, Inc. (PTAG) is a national organization whose focus is helping companies and institutions increase profits by reducing the burden of personal property and/or real estate taxes. Our professionals are nationally and state certified and work in each state where there is an assessing jurisdiction. Personal property tax is an area in which overpayment to the state and county tax collectors is the rule rather than the exception. Property tax overpayments are often the result of understaffed accounting departments racing to meet tax filing deadlines and hurriedly submitting reports without the advantage of knowing many of the property tax regulations. Additionally, taxing authorities who process these reports are also pressed to meet deadlines. They have little or no time to correct taxpayer renditions that are not taking full advantage of the tax codes and regulations. Personal Property Taxes are imposed on capital machinery, furniture, equipment and other tangible assets. Real Estate Taxes are those which are imposed by the county on physical land, buildings and improvements.
