Real Nebraska Impact: A Success Story

The Scenario

A rapidly expanding manufacturing business in Norfolk, Nebraska, acquired new heavy machinery but overlooked the annual personal property tax filing requirement for business equipment.

What We Found

During a routine financial review, we discovered the missed filings, which had accumulated to an estimated $35,000 in potential back taxes and penalties over two years.

The Fix

406 Consulting Group immediately prepared and filed the delinquent personal property tax returns, negotiated with the county assessor, and implemented a robust tracking system for all depreciable assets.

The Result

The business avoided $28,000 in penalties and established a clear compliance roadmap, saving them an estimated $15,000 annually in ongoing tax management costs.
