Business Personal Property Tax (BPP) is a tax on the furniture, fixtures, and equipment that are owned and used in a business. Any assets that are claimed on the business’ income taxes should be reported on the BPP tax return. On the return, the business owner reports the total cost of the assets, the income tax depreciation, and the net depreciated value.
The BPP Tax return (Form PT-100) is due four months after the business’ accounting closing period. For example, if a business has a December accounting closing period, then the return is due April 30 of the following year.
