BOE-600-R (BACK) REV. 8 (12-05)

INSTRUCTIONS

All leased or rented equipment (personal property or fixtures) in the possession of the assessee must be reported.

The cost of Capitalized leased property should also be reported in the same manner as owned property, using BOE-517 schedules.

Noncapitalized leased or rented rolling stock, roadway machines and equipment without fixed location must be reported on the separate Statement of Leased

Rolling Stock. (See publication 67-RR, Instructions for Reporting State-Assessed Property, Part IIE.)

For all other rented or leased equipment not capitalized (such as operating leases), if you (the lessee) are obligated to pay the property taxes or there is no written

understanding that the lessor is obligated to pay the property taxes, report the equipment on BOE-600-R. If the lessor is obligated by Written Terms of the lease to

pay the property taxes, report the equipment on BOE-600-B unless other specific instructions require the equipment to be reported elsewhere.

Property leased from an entity described in Revenue and Taxation Code section 235 (financial corporation) must be reported on BOE-600-R notwithstanding the

terms of the lease with respect to payment of the property taxes. Property that is industry specific (e.g., locomotives, freight cars, etc.) must also be reported on

BOE-600-R, notwithstanding the terms of the lease or written understanding between state assessee and lessor. This property will be assessed to the State Board

of Equalization assessee.

Enter the assessee’s name as shown on BOE-517, the three- or four-digit SBE number, lien date year, and the county name and number.

If there is no equipment to be reported on this form, either return this form marked “NONE” in the “Description of Equipment and Name and Address of Lessor” column or

mark the “N/A” box on the front of BOE-517, indicating nothing to be reported.

If there is equipment to be reported, a separate schedule must be filed for each California county in which the equipment is located. Make copies of this form as needed.

All property reported on this form must also be reported on the BOE-533-E, Tangible Property List.
