Utility Sales Tax Exemption ⋆ National Utility Solutions

A utility sales tax exemption allows for a full, partial, or tiered removal of sales taxes on electricity, natural gas, and/or water invoices. This manufacturer’s exemption is unique since it is not allowed on a company-wide or location basis. This exemption is allowed on a per-meter basis only for States where this exemption is available. For most States, there are also refunds of utility sales taxes available limited to the statute of limitations by State (24-48 months where allowed). Contact us at 346-241-0100 for more details.

Recent Projects include an oil and gas pipe manufacturer, a rental refurbishment company, a food processor, a grain processor, a plating company, and many other projects of all sizes.

A Utility Sales Tax Exemption may save your company up to 10% on your company's electricity, natural gas, and/or water invoices. A Predominant Use Study will serve as proof of qualification, on a per meter basis, and is often required by the State agencies for this exemption. (Varies by Industry, State, City, and County.)

We perform professional engineer certified predominant use studies.

A predominant use study will determine the percentage of energy from a meter that is used in qualifying processes, such as manufacturing, versus the non-qualifying areas such as office, warehouse, retail space or other taxable uses.

Performing Predominant Use Studies

This includes everything from the site visit for gathering all of the raw data to compiling the predominant use study, balancing with a 12 month history, and certifying the predominant use study by our professional engineer.

The term processing includes compiling all paperwork needed for filing the utility sales tax exemption with the utility company and filing for the refund with the utility provider and/or the State when needed.
