This report is the result of a scheduled audit of the Roll-Off Fee Returns for T&S Limited Roll-Off
Solutions, (T&S).
INTRODUCTION
A roll-off is defined as a container with a minimum capacity of ten cubic yards designed to be
transported by a motorized vehicle. They are typically used for the purpose of removing construction
debris, which include rock, metal and other materials used in connection with a construction project
or for the removal of large quantities of trash and bulky waste.
Approximately thirty companies currently possess business tax receipt demonstrating that they
operate roll-offs within the City's boundaries. They are required to abide by the terms outlined in the
City Code. This includes the remittance of franchise fees calculated by using the applicable
percentage of Miami Beach gross receipts. Reports are to be submitted to the City's Finance
Department by the end of the subsequent month. Effective October 2008 the roll-off franchise fee
was increased from 16% to18%.
BACKGROUND
Previously, on September 13, 2007 an audit was performed at T&S Limited establishment. Their
records showed that franchise fees were remitted timely to the City of Miami Beach. There was no
audit assessment.
OVERALL OPINION
A review of T&S's record showed that T&S did not have any customers within the City of Miami
Beach for the audit period. Therefore, T&S was not required to file franchise returns to the City. The
owner has commented that it is not cost effective to service accounts in Miami Beach and the only
reason T&S renewed their business tax receipt is in the event they receive a big job in the City. T&S
has complied with the City Codes during the audit period. The following items were noted during our
audit:
