a refund of taxes paid to a local taxing entity (such as a board
of education) must le a refund request with that taxing entity
within two years of payment of the taxes, unless the taxpayer

that has received these taxes (city, county, school district, etc.)
within two years from the date payment was made.”)
Lessors and Lessees of Tangible Personal Property—
Leased property must be listed by the owner on Revenue Form
62A500, regardless of the lease agreement’s terms regarding
tax liability. Classify leased assets based upon their economic
life. Leases which transfer all of the benets and risks inherent
in the ownership of the property such as a capital lease should
be reported by the lessee. A rental agreement which may be
for any term and may be cancelable or non-cancelable for a
xed period of time and there is no transfer of ownership such
as an operating lease should be reported by the lessor. The
tax return must contain the name of the lessee and location
of the property. A separate return is required for each
property location within Kentucky. The lessee must le
Revenue Form 62A500-L.
Property leased to Communications Service Providers and
Multi-Channel Video Programming Service Providers under
an operating lease must be reported on Form 62A500 by the
lessor.
Depreciable Assets—List depreciable assets on the
appropriate schedule(s) at original cost. Apply appropriate
factor(s) to obtain reported value. Do not use book depreciation
for computing the fair cash value of depreciable assets.
Inventories—List inventories at fair cash value using full
absorption rst-in-rst-out (FIFO) costing. Such costs include
freight, labor, taxes and duties. LIFO deductions are not
allowable. Goods held for lease or rent may be considered
merchants inventory. See line 31 instructions for details.
Foreign Trade Zones—Tangible property located within an
activated foreign trade zone, as designated under Title 19
U.S.C. Sec. 81, is subject to a state rate only but must be
included in the appropriate schedule or line of the return.
Complete Schedule J for property located in an activated
foreign trade zone. Attach a copy of the foreign trade zone
activation certicate or letter.
Rebuilds or Capitalized Repairs—Cost gures for rebuilt
equipment must be segregated according to “original” and
“rebuild” costs and listed under two economic life classes on
the tangible personal property tax return. The original cost of all
assets is included in the year of acquisition in the appropriate
class life. Any rebuild(s) capitalized for book or tax purposes are
to be entered in the appropriate class life for the expected life
of the rebuild. If a second rebuild occurs, the second rebuild is
again included in age 1 of the appropriate class for the expected
life of that rebuild. The rst rebuild is then deleted from the
original cost column and dropped from the valuation process.
1
Exceptions to the Fair Cash Value Computation
Taxable property inoperable and held for disposal as of
the assessment date may be valued separately. List this
property on Schedule C and include an adavit explaining
the circumstances and the basis for valuation. Such property
is valued as follows:
if component parts have been removed and the remainder
is useless to the business, report the actual scrap or
salvage value; or
if a visual inspection conrms that useful life has not ended,
the true value is the greater of its depreciated book value
or the actual salvage value; or
property sold on or before the due date of the return
through a proven arm’s length transaction is reported at
the selling price.
Temporary idleness is not sufficient cause for separate
valuation. This includes idleness attributed to seasonal
operation or from repair or overhaul of equipment.
Listing and Valuing Tangible Personal Property
List depreciable property on Form 61A500, Schedule A-1
Wireless or A-2 Wireline, based on its economic life. To assist
taxpayers in determining proper economic life classication a
partial listing of North American Industry Classication system
(NAICS) codes is included. Property descriptions frequently
used in these specic industries are listed under each code.
Most businesses have property falling into more than one
economic life classication.
An asset listing of each item of property must be available
to the Department of Revenue upon request. The asset
listing must include original cost, acquisition date, make, model,
serial number and/or other identication numbers, and physical
location (street address, jurisdiction, county, listed on Schedule
A, and line number on Form 61A500).
Fair Cash Value Computation
The fair cash value computation begins with cost. Cost must
include inbound freight, mill-wrighting, overhead, investment
tax credits, assembly and installation labor, material and
expenses, and sales and use taxes. Premium pay and payroll
taxes are included in labor costs. Costs are not reduced by
trade-in allowances. Capitalize costs of major overhauls in the
year in which they occur.
Cost should be net of additions, disposals and transfers
occurring during the year. Multiply aggregate cost by the
applicable conversion factor to determine reported value.
The column totals represent the total original cost and total
reported value of each class of property. Original cost totals
must generally reconcile with the book cost. NOTE: Property
written o the records, but still physically on hand, must be
included in the computation.
Alternative Reporting Requirement
If a taxpayer believes the composite factors in the return have
overvalued or undervalued the property, the taxpayer may
petition the Department of Revenue to accept an alternative
reporting method. Check the box on Form 61A500, page 1, if
an alternative method of valuation is submitted. The taxpayer
must le the completed return and schedules based on
the Department of Revenue’s methodology as well the
adavit of the alternative valuation with the Division of State
Valuation. The adavit must include a proposed alternate
valuation method, justication of the method chosen, any
evidence that supports the proposed method, and all the
forms and schedules of the 61A500 with the “reported value”
being changed to the term “taxpayers valuation.” Accepting
the alternative valuation method as filed in order to
expedite the processing of the return does not aect the
department’s right to audit the return and the method used.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Revenue Form 61A500
For valuation information or assistance in ling this return,
contact the Division of State Valuation at (502) 564-8175. Go to
revenue.ky.gov to download forms.
General Information—Provide the following information:
Social Security number or Federal Employer Identication
Number;
NAICS code that most closely identies your business
activity;
type of business activity;
alternative valuation (check appropriate box);
name and address of business;
organization type (check appropriate box);
taxpayer signature, email, and telephone number and
the preparer’s (other than taxpayer) name and contact
information at the bottom of Form 61A500, Schedule C.
Failure to properly complete the general information
section may result in omitted property notices, subject to
penalties and interest.
Instructions for Lines 11–16 and 21–26 (Depreciable Assets)
Schedule A property includes, but is not limited to:
business furniture and xtures;
professional trade tools and equipment;
signs and billboards;
drilling, mining and construction equipment;
mini- and mainframe computers;
telecommunications equipment; and
poles and wires
Schedules A list six economic life classes. Property is classied
by the expected economic life, not the depreciable life used
for accelerated income tax purposes.
2
The age of property, whether purchased new or used, is
determined as follows: property purchased in the year prior
to the assessment date is age 1; purchases made 2 years
prior are age 2; etc. Assets listed into Classes I, II and III,
whose ages exceed the maximum age for each class (13
years), should be aggregated on “Age 13+” of the original
cost column. Assets listed into Classes IV and V whose ages
exceed the maximum age for each class (27 years) should be
aggregated on “Age 27+” of the original cost column. As long
as an asset is in use, it is valued using the appropriate factor
as determined by its class and age. Multiply the original cost
by the conversion factor to arrive at the reported value. Add
original costs for each class to determine the total original cost
by class. Add reported values for each class to determine the
total reported value by class. The column totals for original
cost and reported value for each class of property are listed in
the space provided for Schedule A property on Form 61A500,
page 1. The grand total of original cost and reported value for
all classes of property are summarized on lines 17 and 27.
