What
information is needed for these items?
Provide
a complete schedule of all personal property used
in your business. The schedule should include
the name of item, acquisition date and cost (whether
fully depreciated or not for federal income tax
purposes). In the event there was no cost
for acquisition, an estimate of fair market value
at the time of acquisition will suffice.
A copy of detailed depreciation schedules
must also be attached.

What
happens if I don't file?
Since
assessment is based on information you provide,
if none is provided, the Commissioner of Revenue
is required by law to assess the property based
on the best information available which will result
in a tax due on October 15. This is called
a statutory assessment.
