TAX REDUCTION ON PERSONAL PROPERTY

Specialized Tax Services, Inc. has implemented a program specifically designed to reduce the personal property taxes of printing plant equipment. For more than twenty years Specialized Tax Services, Inc. and its founder, David Pathe, have been able to reduce the property tax on printing plant equipment by at least 50%, as shown below. The program began when Mr. Pathe was the head of the Tax Department at Treasure Chest Advertising Company, Inc., now known as Vertis. During this period while Mr. Pathe was at Treasure Chest, some of those Treasure Chest Advertising locations saw property tax reductions of as much as 70%. Since forming Specialized Tax Services, Inc., the reductions have increased. While each company and/or printing plant is unique, this process has been very successful.
