The valuation multipliers that will be used to value the property disclosed by the taxpayer in this report are intended to be
applied to the original cost of new, not used, property. Original cost new includes freight, installation, and sales tax.
If
the original cost new of an asset is known, or can be reasonably ascertained through investigation, you must report that
cost on the line that represents the year that it was new, even if you have adjusted the cost in your accounting records to
reflect revaluation of the asset using a "purchase", "fresh start", "push down", or similar accounting methodology, or even
if your booked cost reflects a "used" purchase, lease "buy-out" price or a "trade-in" credit. The cost of all property must
be included in this report even if the asset is fully depreciated for federal income tax or financial accounting purposes, and
even if the property has been expensed, rather than capitalized in your accounting system.
Inventory is exempt from assessment. Inventory does not include personal property under lease or principally intended
for lease or rental, rather than sale. Property allowed a cost recovery allowance or depreciation under the Internal
Revenue Code is not inventory. Non-registered motor vehicles and equipment attached to motor vehicles which are not
used while the vehicle travels on the highway are assessable, but vehicles registered with the Michigan Secretary of State
st
on December 31
are exempt. Computer software, if the purchase was evidenced by a separate invoice amount and if
the software is commonly sold separately, is exempt.
