Sales & Property Tax Recovery
For manufacturers, mining operations, and rock quarries — we find the overpayments hidden in your filings and recover them.
Most manufacturers, mining operations, and rock quarries in Kentucky overpay sales, use, and property tax without ever knowing it. George & Company performs a detailed validation study of your filing history, pinpoints overpayments, and files the refund claims that recover those dollars. Our refund recovery work is focused exclusively on manufacturing, mining of any type, and rock quarries.
Who we recover refunds for
Our sales, use, and property tax refund recovery work is dedicated to manufacturers, mining operations of any type, and rock quarries — industries where overpayments on equipment, utilities, and materials are common and substantial. (Sales tax and property tax audit defense, by contrast, is available to any type of business.)
How our recovery study works
We review your purchase records, fixed-asset listings, and prior returns to identify tax paid in error — on exempt purchases, misclassified items, and overlooked credits. Our findings are documented to the standard the Department of Revenue requires for refund approval.
Refund claims filed and processed for you
We prepare, file, and manage your refund claims from start to finish, corresponding with the Department of Revenue and responding to follow-up requests so claims are processed in a timely fashion.
No savings, real results
Because much of our recovery work is structured around the savings we find, our incentives are aligned with yours — we focus on putting real money back on your bottom line.
