Motor Vehicle and Excise Items

State-specific, fully integrated assessment system

RevenueSense® Motor Vehicle and Excise Items modules are specific to each state and are designed to catalogue and assess the values of motor vehicles, boats and other excise items. The system allows users to enter data into an easily accessible and searchable database. The modules can be fully integrated with the RevenueSense Tax Billing and Accounts Receivable and Cash collection modules.

Efficient, Fast State-Specific Registration
RevenueSense Motor Vehicle Excise Items streamlines the complex and time-consuming process of billing and collecting, meeting state requirements and accounting for cash. With rapidly changing state technology and software, UniFund stays abreast of changes and provides the interfaces needed to integrate state mandates with RevenueSense.

Simple Motor Vehicle Data Transfer for Computations
The motor vehicle sub-module allows municipalities to electronically import state motor vehicle registry data and tax information each month for residents’ vehicles that are up for renewal. Tables are set up by the System Administrator to accept the imported data and instruct the system on how to handle incoming data. Registry ASCII files can also be imported for easy tax computation without re-keying of information.

Easy Tax Calculation Process
Motor vehicle and boat descriptions are easily established by entering data such as make, model, color, retail value and length (for boats). Tax values are calculated by linking these records - which include the assessed value - to the appropriate tax, levy and exemption codes. A detailed breakdown of the tax values is then displayed by the system.

Automatic Exemption Renewal
The module can be configured to compute levies and exemptions. One of the system’s timesaving features includes the renewal of tax exemptions each year without additional data entry, allowing exemptions to be credited automatically with no re-keying of information.

Flexible Billing Options
A partial billing of tax items can be posted at any time and the adjustment can be billed at a later date. Motor vehicle and excise item tax bills can be customized for printing and can be printed on demand.


Maine and New Hampshire

Efficient, Fast State-Specific Registration
RevenueSense Motor Vehicle and Excise Items streamlines the complex and time-consuming process of registering vehicles, meeting state requirements and accounting for cash. This module provides control right where it is needed - at the point of registration. With rapidly changing state technology and software, UniFund stays abreast of changes and provides the interfaces needed to integrate state mandates with RevenueSense.

Maine
The RevenueSense State of Maine module calculates the Maine municipal excise tax at the counter, prints registration forms, and reports, records and receipts the cash transaction. Cash receipting is fully integrated with the RevenueSense Accounts Receivable and Cash Collection module and BudgetSense® General Ledger module, or this module can be installed as a standalone program.

New Hampshire
The RevenueSense State of New Hampshire module interfaces with the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicle (NHDMV) auto excise and registration software provided to municipalities by the NHDMV. The module interface provides for the entry, recording and receipting of the transactions originating in the state motor vehicle program in the RevenueSense Cash Receipting module. This interface eliminates the need to re-key cash transactions into the RevenueSense system after the state program completes the excise tax and registration functions.
