Pittsburgh/New Castle/Meadville, PA – On September 25, 2007, Carbis Walker LLP, Certified Public Accountants and Consultants is offering a free, one-hour webinar to manufacturers, entitled, “Uncovering Property Taxation Truths & Myths: Solutions to the Mysteries of Property Valuation.”

The webinar is to be conducted by Carbis Walker’s national affiliate, RSM McGladrey, the fifth largest CPA firm in the nation. Some of the questions the webinar will address are:
“ How do you know if you are paying excessive property taxes? Can these be successfully challenged?” The ability to better value property, machinery, and other equipment provides a more accurate tax assessment, which can lead to reducing taxes. The speaker, Bob Weigel, reveals: how assessors determine value; valid real and personal property valuation methods and procedures; what market value really is; how to understand the market of your property; and how to effectively utilize the three approaches to value: sales comparison, cost, and income.
