BACK TAX COMPUTATION
GUIDE SHEET
This form should be used to compute the back taxes owed when a classified
forest or a portion of a classified forest is to be withdrawn.
Column 1 - Year
Start with the present year and work backwards. Since the law specifies
that the landowner will not be taxed for more than 10 years, there are
only 10 blanks. There could be cases where the forest will be classified
for less than 10 years. In this case, you will only use the number of
years that the woodland has been in the Classified Forest Programj
Column 2- Assessed Value Per Acre Minus $1.00
You will need to check past records in order to determine the appraised
values of the land for each of the past 10 years. The assessed value is
determined by dividing the appraised value by three. Ir. addition, the
assessed value should be reduced by one dollar because the landowner has
already paid taxes on a one dollar assessment for each of the years that
his land has been in the Classified Forest Program. The adjusted assess-
ment should be entered in Column 2•
Column 3- Annual Tax Rate
You will need to check your records to determine what the tax rate was for
each year. This amount in dollars will be entered in Column 3.
Column 4- Taxes Due Per Acre
Multiply Column 2 times Column 3 and then divide this figure by 100. This
should be rounded off to the nearest whole cent.
Column 5 - Interest Factor
These figures are constant and should not be altered. They have been
taken from a standard per annum interest table.
Column 6- Amount Due Per Acre for the Year
Multiply Column 4 times the figure found in Column 5. This is the amount
of tax plus interest owed on one acre of Classified Forest, for one ar-
ticular year. The total of this column is the amount which should be
paid per acre for the 10 year (or less) period.
To complete the process of calculating taxes owed, take the total of
Column 6 and multiply it by the number of acres to be withdrawn. This is
the total taxes owed for the withdrawal.
If there are any questions with this form, contact the service forester
for your county.
