Every company to utilize this service is now paying lower personal property taxes on their non-real estate business assets.

The Tax$aver Program, one of SPI's many financial solutions tools for the plastics industry, can decrease your property taxes and increase your bottom line. A product of an SPI partnership with the Property Tax Advisory Group Inc. (PTAG), this program can help your company become stronger, more competitive and more profitable.

What Is the Personal Property Tax?

Each year, many companies unknowingly overpay their personal property taxes because they can't keep up with the differing and ever-changing state codes and rules governing non-taxable assets, exemptions, depreciation and true market value.

The personal property tax is a county-imposed, non real estate, tangible asset tax. 39 states have personal property taxes. The states that don't are: Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and South Dakota.
