Police Stations Case study
Police Stations
NTG’s team has the engineering and technical tax law expertise to complete and manage hundreds of certifications and claims throughout the United States. This gave the A&E firm the confidence that it could pursue the tax incentive without having to divert its own personnel, operations, or resources.
NTG’s team began by conducting the required energy simulation to verify the deduction. They then communicated with building owners to explain the deduction and obtain all required documentation. They also worked with qualified engineers and contractors to complete inspections and testing. Finally, NTG provided tax consulting to verify the deductions and oversee the tax filing process.
