Sales & Use Tax Reverse Audit

Often times, companies may pay tax on a purchase as a default position in order to limit potential tax exposures. This is especially true if a company has received a large sales or state tax assessment in the past. By taking this approach a company may pay large amounts of unnecessary taxes, often 5-8% of their purchase costs, or they may charge tax on their sales.

A sales and use tax reverse audit will provide the opportunity to gain refunds and or/reduce audit assessments through a review of purchase and sales transactions. By analyzing your companies fixed asset and expense item purchases we are able to identify purchases in which your company has inadvertently paid sales/use tax on exempt or non-taxable transactions.
