We’ve performed state by state research on the taxability of specific products and services. Based on that research, we’ve developed detailed technical support for non-taxable treatment of certain products in specific states. With the appropriate technical, contractual and quantitative documentation, we believe you will qualify for state and local sales/use tax refunds. These refunds may be pursued directly from your vendors or through state and local tax authorities. We will collect documentation, draft technical support, prepare the refund claim and provide representation services with vendor and/or state auditors.

An often overlooked opportunity exists in performing a reverse audit for refunds. Recovered taxes for overlooked exemptions and exclusions from the tax base. We have given companies back hundreds of thousands of dollars based on purchases for which use tax was accrued.

Our Sales/Use Tax Nexus & Voluntary Disclosure service focuses on assisting you in becoming compliant and mitigating any past and prospective sales/use tax liabilities. Our nexus review provides an analysis of your activities by state to determine if you are properly complying in jurisdictions for which sufficient presence is established. We look at factors such as property locations, payroll, location of personnel, inventory locations, and the nature of your product or service delivery. We provide you with a nexus chart depicting your activities by state along with recommendations regarding how to manage any new jurisdictions where you are failing to comply with registration and filing requirements.

If nexus is established in a taxing jurisdiction for which you are currently not in compliance, we will pursue voluntary disclosure agreements with the respective states on your behalf. We negotiate the most favorable settlement possible without compromising your identity. And, we quantify the tax liability and present those findings to the tax jurisdiction. We also provide you with detailed schedules and a report of our findings to substantiate the voluntary disclosure agreement. Additionally, as your partner, we work with you to establish procedures to prevent the need for prospective voluntary disclosure agreements.
