Business Personal Property Tax

If your business owns or leases equipment, furniture, or inventory, you may owe business personal property tax, and the rules aren’t always clear.

Most states (38 to be exact) tax tangible assets that aren’t real estate. That includes machinery, office furniture, supplies, and even leased equipment. But what’s taxable, how it’s valued, and when returns are due varies widely by state.
