Rebate Report Fees-There are different report fees for the various types of bond issues that reflect the necessary time and effort
required for legal and technical analysis,due diligence and transactional reporting.
Rebate Supplemental Fees-Optional fees may apply in more complex rebate areas dealing with Transferred Proceeds arising in
connection with refunding bonds or commingled investments to be evaluated.
Spending Exception Report Fee-Fees for calculating ACP(the amount to be spent semi-annually),determining expenditures and
retainage and any penalties owed. These fees are in lieu of rebate fees.
*THE IRS ALLOWS A CREDIT OF UP TO$7,340 PER 5-YEAR FILING. ACS'FEES ARE LESS THAN THE CREDIT YOU RECEIVE FROM THE IRS.
