1. What are the composite conversions factors for personal property?
A composite conversion factor is applied to the original cost new of personal
property to arrive at the basic cost approach value. For Group I
(assets that have a typical economic life between five and seven years): Y1-.87,
Y2-.74, Y3-.58, Y4-.43, Y5-.32, Y6-.26, Y7-.21. Thereafter the residual composite
conversion factor shall be .20. For Group II (assets that
have a typical economic life between eight and twelve years): Y1-.92, Y2-.85,
Y3-.78, Y4-.70, Y5-.63, Y6-.54, Y7-.44, Y8-.34, Y9-.28, Y10-.25, Y11-.25. Thereafter
the residual composite conversion factor shall be .20. For Group III
(assets that have a typical economic life of thirteen years or more): Y1-.95,
Y2-.91, Y3-.87, Y4-.82, Y5-.79, Y6-.75, Y7-.70, Y8-.63, Y9-.57, Y10-.52, Y11-.47,
Y12-.41, Y13-.35, Y14-.31, Y15-.29, Y16-.28. Thereafter the residual composite conversion
factor shall be .20. For Group IV (assets that have a typical
economic life of four years or less): Y1-.67, Y2-.54, Y3-.31. Thereafter the
residual composite conversion factor shall be .10. For additional information
see
Rule 560-11-10-.08 Personal Property Appraisal .
2. We are a government agency and lease a copier from a vendor. The vendor
has sent us a bill for the property tax on the copier. Are we exempt from
this tax?
It is normal for leasing companies to include in their lease contracts a provision
for the lessee to pay all applicable taxes. However, this does not supersede
the requirement in Georgia law for the owner of the property to return and pay taxes
on property. So, unless the property is owned by a public entity it is taxable.
While a public entity may be exempt from taxation, the owner of the property is
not. If a public entity has contractually obligated itself, via a lease agreement,
to reimburse the owner of the property for any and all taxes this does not change
the taxable status of the property.
