A typical study consists of a site survey by one of our highly trained experienced personnel to examine and document equipment at your business. Historical electrical or natural gas usage data is then obtained and matched with equipment data from the site survey resulting in a certified engineering report. If the report determines more than 51% of the electricity or natural gas is used for manufacturing or processing the business qualifies for 100% exemption from sales tax on the electricity or natural gas purchased.
If the business qualifies for sales tax exemption the refunding process is commenced. All forms and certificates required are completed and our state licensed Engineer stamps and seals the necessary documents for compliance with Texas Tax Code (151.317) Rule 3.295. Once an exemption is granted refunds will be requested and your business will no longer be charged sales tax on electricity or natural gas.
