Sales & Use Tax is our Domain

Our Umbrella of Services

Sales Tax Audit Defense and Appeals

Sales and use tax audits present huge challenges to public and private companies alike. Whether you are a Fortune 500 company or a small restaurant chain, the sales tax auditor will eventually show up.

Sales Tax Preparation And Filing Services

Whether you are a multi-state corporation or online retailer trying to navigate the new “Wayfair” decision, or whether you are a single location business, we can handle any state and local sales & use tax return, regardless of size or complexity.

Nexus & Voluntary Disclosure

As businesses expand into multiple states, the question arises of whether the “foreign” states can force your company to register and collect use tax. Your company’s presence in the foreign state is referred to as “nexus.”

Credits And Refunds

If you pay sales tax to vendors, or accrue use tax on purchases, you may be over-reporting your sales or use tax liability. Even if you had a no-change audit, you may have overpaid the tax. Sales & use tax auditors are paid to assess tax, not refund it. This is a fact of life.

Taxability Research

Are your products and services taxable in your home state? How about other states where you sell? Regardless of the sophistication of the sales tax reporting system, the system still needs to be told what is taxable and what is not.

Lunch & Learn Presentations

You provide the lunch, we’ll provide an engaging and insightful presentation to your team about the issues your companies and clients face. Perfect for CPA’s and tax professionals.
