[TenTec] Tax on Inventory

[Richards]

In addition to what KM said...   and without any contradiction to what 
he said... I know many businesses pay property tax (separate from income 
tax) on equipment and inventory.   Sometimes our local retail stores go 
short of goods just before doing the annual property tax inventory, and 
stock is replenished soon thereafter.    I paid local property taxes on 
all my office equipment, and the local taxing authority had a different 
schedule of depreciation than the County, the State, and the Feds.

So this is just ANOTHER tax affecting many small businesses.   I would 
hate to be a "cost accountant" in this day and age !

Happy Trails.
