Consuetudo debet esse certa
This workshop will focus on various “requests” from the State Valuation Branch regarding selected PVA Office “customs” that we would like to identify and address. This is intended to be an interactive discussion between the PVA Offices and Frankfort listing the issues and requested resolutions and the reasoning behind the requests.

Sample Exoneration Forms
These forms should be filled out and sent back to Frankfort so that State Valuation is aware of exonerations made at the county level.
Use the following two forms.

![Page 8: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Updating Info From a Past Year Filing Taxpayer
If a past year filing taxpayer’s information needs updating the PVA cannot use the PF-14 screen by itself. PF-15 needs to be accessed after the data entry to make corrections. Failure to perform the update to the information as described will result in the incorrect information being carried forward and could result in the taxpayer not receiving a tax bill.
![Page 9: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Updating Info… (cont.)
![Page 10: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Off-Line Billing
If a bill is created at the county level after the tax register is closed, supplemental bills cannot be viewed or tracked at the state level.
It looks as though the taxpayer is missing that year. A letter may then go out to the taxpayer requesting
that the “missing” year be filed. This also effects any audits being conducted. Sending late filed returns to the Department of
Revenue, Personal Property Section, avoids this issue.
![Page 11: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Off-Line Billing - Example
In the following example, we can see that there is no listing for the 2007 Tangible tax.
The return was either omitted or billed “off-line.”
It is important that no returns be billed “off-line” (after the tax register closes), because they cannot be viewed at the state level.

Using Numerical District Codes
Only use numerical district codes. Do not use “ND” (no district) Instead, use the numerical district code that
corresponds.
![Page 18: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Using Numerical District Codes - Examples
The first example incorrectly uses “ND” for the district code.
In the second example, the correct numerical code is used.

Punctuation
Do not use punctuation (such as periods, commas, hyphens, dashes, etc.) when entering billing information.
Entering information in the correct manner will aid in the creation of consistent records that are easier to locate in a system search or inquiry.
![Page 22: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Punctuation - Examples
In the following first example, the data was entered incorrectly using a hyphen.
The second example shows the correct way to enter the date: “Coca Cola” instead of “Coca-Cola”.
No punctuation should be used.

Entering Names
To keep records consistent (and easier to find), remember to enter individual names using the following format and without punctuation:
“Last Name” “First Name” Exception: If the individual name is part of the
business name or professional title: for example, “John Smith Plumbing Inc” or “Jane Doe DMD”
![Page 26: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Entering Names - Examples
In the first example, the name is incorrectly entered in the “First Name” “Last Name” order.
In the second example, the name is entered correctly in the “Last Name” “First Name” order.

Entering Values
In addition to entering the reported value, the original cost should always be entered, as well.
The original cost figure provides information that is important if audits are being conducted and in determining if the reported values are correct.
All values should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar – do not use decimals.
![Page 30: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Entering Values - Examples
In the first example, the original cost was incorrectly left off when the information was entered.
The second example shows the original cost correctly entered.
Always record the original cost

Postmarks and Date Stamps
When forwarding tangible returns to the Personal Property Section, always include the original envelope or packaging with the postmark.
Whenever possible, date stamp the return with the date it was received.
Postmarks are very important,because they are used as proof of late filing.
![Page 34: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Entering the FEIN/ SSN
Update from a default FEIN/ SSN to the correct FEIN/ SSN, where applicable.
Taxpayers sometimes change the Tax ID – particularly when there are changes to the type of entity or to company ownership.
![Page 35: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Alternative Valuations
When alternative valuations are received, the information from the return should be entered as normal.
Make a copy of the return to retain at the PVA office. Forward a copy of the alternative valuation to the
Personal Property Section at the Dept. of Revenue, for review.
The Personal Property Section will determine if the alternative valuation is acceptable and notify the taxpayer if any amendments or changes are required.
![Page 36: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Vehicle Dealer’s Inventory
When filing the Tangible Form 62A500, vehicle dealer’s must list their fixed assets on Schedule A, not just the vehicle inventory on Line 34. (If they sell parts, accessories, ATVs, etc., they should also have Line 31.)
Do not allow dealers to submit incomplete returns.
![Page 37: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Dealer’s Inventory Form 62A500-S1
In addition to regular Form 62A500, dealer’s should also file the 62A500-S1, which provides for the itemization of vehicle inventory. The total is reported on Line 34 of regular Form 62A500.
![Page 39: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Boat Dealer’s Used Inventory Form 62A500-M1
Similarly, there is a separate form for boat dealer’s used inventory (Form 62A500-M1).
The total from this form should be recorded on Line 31 of the 62A500.
132.200 Property subject to state tax only.(17) New boats and new marine equipment held for retail sale under a floor plan financing arrangement by a dealer registered under KRS 235.220

Reviewing Tangible Returns
Prior to processing (or forwarding) tax returns, there are some key points to check on the 62A500.
![Page 43: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Review the Demographic Info
Check the demographic information. In order to process the form, you will need the tax id, business name, mailing address, and property location.
The property location must be an actual physical location.
The taxpayer should file each location on a separate return. It may be permissible to file multiple locations on one return, if all locations are in the same tax district.
![Page 44: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Districting Tangible Returns
When possible, please write the districts on late-filed returns, before forwarding them to Frankfort – Especially, for businesses that have no prior bills in the system.
![Page 46: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Districting Tangible Returns
![Page 47: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Check the Return for Missing and Incorrect Line Items
Depending on the type of business, Tangible returns may have varying line items. Most businesses should have some Schedule A property. In addition, a manufacturer should have manufacturing machinery, goods in process, and manufacturers finished goods. A retail store should have merchants inventory, in addition to its Schedule A assets.
The following sample shows the line items reported by a restaurant.
![Page 48: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Sample Line Items
![Page 49: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Using the Process Improvement Chart
Using the Process Improvement Chart, we can see that the restaurant must have Line 17, Merchants Inventory, and Materials and Supplies.
This chart can be used for various types of businesses to determine if taxpayers are filing on the correct lines of the Tangible Personal Property tax form.
![Page 51: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Check the Postmark Date Late filed returns should be forwarded to the Personal Property
Section, pursuant to KRS 132.290 (1). Timely filed returns should be held for billing at the local level.
132.290 Omitted property, what constitutes -- Periods within which it may be assessed retroactively -- Penalties and interest. (1) Any real property which has not been listed for taxation, for any year in which it is taxable, by the time the board of assessment appeals completes its work for that year shall be deemed omitted property. Any personal property which has not been listed for taxation, for any year in which it is taxable, by the due date of that year shall be deemed omitted property.

Materials and Supplies
Many taxpayers fail to record their materials and supplies on the Tangible Personal Property tax return.
Materials and Supplies should be reported on Line 60, with the values derived from Schedule C.
![Page 53: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Checking the Figures
Review Schedules A, B, and C to make certain that all totals have been brought forward onto the front page of the return.
You may also wish verify that the figures have been calculated and totaled correctly.
![Page 56: PVA Conference Fall 2010. Consuetudo Debet Esse Certa The Custom Must be Changed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062809/56649e115503460f94afd29f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Checking the Figures – Examples
From the following examples we can multiply the original costs by the trending factors to make certain that the figures have been correctly calculated.
The reported values can also be added to verify that the totals are correct.

“Informational Purposes Only” Forms
In addition to the “billable” forms included in the 62A500 packet, there are two forms that are used for informational purposes only. Form 62A500-C (Consigned Property) and Form 62A500-L (Leased Property) should be filed by consignees and lessees.
These forms can then be reviewed to determine if the consignors and lessors who own the property are filing Tangible forms to report it.
Those not filing, can be added to your omitted list.

Omitted Lists
It’s a great idea to keep a list of omitted and non-filers for your county.
You may send your list of omitted filers to the Personal Property Section for review.
These lists aid in our compliance effort. When a non-filer is discovered (either through
our record review or your omitted lists), letters can be sent from Frankfort, requesting that they submit these missing returns.
