Energy Sales Tax Audit - PA Manufacturers
In Pennsylvania and some other states, manufacturers are eligible for exemption from sales tax on certain
portions of their energy purchases.
To ensure energy providers
bill the tax correctly, the state requires manufacturers to file exemption forms
that accurately estimate the exempt portions of their total energy purchases.
Often, this means identifying the actual energy-using devices in the exempt processes
and applying acceptable energy-use conversion factors.
Increasingly, state tax auditors question exemption estimates that they feel are
not well documented, and instruct companies to use an expert third party consultant
to perform the calculation.
UtiliTech's energy engineers have performed the energy sales tax audit calculation
for many PA-based manufacturers. Give

bills.
