Commercial Tax Savings – Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad
Fulcrum led a successful valuation challenge by spotlighting intangible capital investments—unlocking over $1 million in annual tax savings before the process was brought in-house.
Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad
This was not a designation case but a valuation battle—and a major one. With business booming, Indiana Harbor Belt faced a spike in their proposed railroad assessment. Fulcrum, working with a former BNSF tax expert, challenged the Department of Revenue’s methodology, introducing a detailed rebuttal that included intangible capital investments like new software and workforce training. The result was over $1 million in annual tax savings. The savings were so significant the client eventually took the process in-house, but not before Fulcrum had demonstrated the enormous potential of proactive tax negotiation.
