City of Santa Clarita | Assessment Ballot | Landscape Maintenance District | Canyon Country

Posted by avtaxman on August 12, 2011

Visit this blog for important info regarding the City of Santa Clarita and recently proposed fees for Landscape Maintenance Districts and assessments being proposed or imposed by the city also. To that end, a “yellow” ballot was sent to nearly 15,000 households proposing an assessment and possible take-over of select LMDs in Canyon Country and other areas. This ballot proposes “additional” maintenance and up-keep for medians all over the city even though we already pay for this in our taxes.

After I received my ballot in the mail, I went to City Hall and spoke to a person in the LMD Department to get clarification. Although he agreed our taxes already pay for these services, he insisted we need to pay more fees because of the recent upgrades from the Federal Stimulus Act. Pardon me but, didn’t we just upgrade these medians 2 years ago and now we are doing it again? Why?

In short, everyone that received a “YELLOW” Assessment ballot needs to mark “NO” and send it back. We refuse to pay more taxes and fees for something we already pay taxes for!!! Then, they will raise the fee 3% every year no matter according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). We already pay the highest taxes in the U.S., what is state and city officials doing with all OUR tax money? In addition to sending your “YELLOW” ballot in with “NO” on it, you can also protest this fee at a public hearing on September 13, 2011 at City Hall at 6 PM.

This is a public service message from Avtaxman and Associates. Avtaxman and Associates is a full service accounting firm specializing in tax preparation and tax reduction strategies.

The month of August is typically the time when companies evaluate current vendors, customers and revenue projections. Considering the importance of these, I also believe the accounting firm your company is currently using should also be evaluated. Is the firm own and operated in Santa Clarita? Is the firm knowledgeable? Are the people doing the work degreed or otherwise educated? Are they charging us too much like a big CPA firm? Lastly, is this just a satellite office for a firm outside Santa Clarita? Why is any of this important? Let’s keep our community working! Let’s keep our money here!

In addition to Avtaxman having the lowest “guaranteed” price in Santa Clarita for tax
preparing, we also offer the same for accounting services such as accounts reconciliation, accounting clean-up & organization and auditing.

One question that always arises with new clients is, “do I really need a CPA firm?” As a matter of fact, NO! Actually, any experienced and degreed accountant can perform all the same tasks as a CPA including preparing & signing financial documents, preparing expenses prior to and during tax preparation and performing audits. The only thing that a CPA can do that others can’t is:

…a CPA is able to give commentary at the end of an audit which is generally tips or instructions for improving or correcting certain problems found during the audit. That said, since the introduction of SOX 404 (Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002), no one gives any advice now because it carries a liability if something goes wrong in the future. So,
this is why many companies are leaving high priced CPA firms and hiring
Accounting & Tax firms like Avtaxman & Associates to save money and to get the level of service they expect.

Avtaxman and Associates specializes in tax preparation and tax reduction strategies in addition to business efficiency and all around expenditure reduction to maximize profits and strengthen companies. Our rates are half what any other firm or company charges because we refuse to gouge clients in need of assistance…especially in this economy.

If they are able to offer you $10, $25, $30 or more OFF the regular price…how much is the regular price!!! In addition, many of these companies don’t have flat fees…they have a menu of options charging you for each page of the tax return like ordering “a la carte” in a restaurant. That said, the average family has 6 pages in their tax return which equals more than $150 even with the discount. This IS twice what Avtaxman charges WITHOUT a coupon.

My fellow Santa Clarita residents, small businesses and corporations (large & small), I have recently had a mailer stating I may have won FREE tax service OR a discount off the original amount. Pardon me but, if these other tax preparing companies are able to give such a deep discount…how much is the tax service in the first place.  Does $200, $300 or more for having your individual taxes prepared or even $1000’s for your small business sound familiar?  Every year I hear and see the same gimmicks and offers for tax service which are meant to lure you in with promises of reviewing last year’s return or offering BIG discounts off the regular price. Then, after all is said and done, you STILL get charged an expensive fee and, in some cases, you also end up owing too. Avtaxman and Associates DO NOT use gimmicks, we offer the lowest rates than others with a word of mouth referral reputation.

To all Santa Clarita residents, small businesses and corporations (large & small), YOU DO NOT have to pay $200, $300 or more for having your individual taxes prepared or even $1000’s for your small business. Every year I hear countless people express two very familiar statements:

 1.  Wow, I have been paying too much for my tax preparation. I never knew it could be cheaper. I just thought that was how much EVERYONE charged. At Avtaxman & Associates, we do NOT charge for every form or have a sliding scale for high income earners. On the contrary, we offer a flat rate that’s fits your budget and not the industry’s.

2.  I’ve had the same accountant or CPA for many years now, they know all the deductions I can get. Not necessarily.  Just because they have done your taxes for years, doesn’t mean they know your taxes or your business or your industry. Many preparing taxes DO NOT have any corporate or operational experience at all. In addition, most are ONLY exposed to taxes for 4 months a year, whereas, Avtaxman & Associates is a full service tax firm studying and creating tax strategies for clients year-round.

 Avtaxman and Associates specializes in tax preparation, tax reduction strategies, business efficiency and all around expenditure reduction to maximize profits and strengthen companies. Our rates are half what any other firm or company charges because we refuse to gouge clients in need of assistance…especially in this economy. So, if you or your company wishes to cut your tax bill in half including cutting your taxes in the process, Avtaxman and Associates is the firm for you.

 With over 25 year’s experience, we can also help if you have not filed for some time or if you have other tax problems. Avtaxman and Associates is owned and operated in Santa Clarita since 2002.
