Sales Tax Audit Defense

Our use and sales tax consultants have saved clients a total of more than $120 million. Teaming up with the experts at Sales Tax Professionals (STP) ensures that your company will pay only the exact amount of use and sales tax that is due to the taxing jurisdiction.

We have former Revenue Services employees on our staff, so we understand how to work with state tax auditors. Sometimes a company about to undergo a tax audit is asked to agree to certain terms at the outset. At STP, we know the repercussions of such agreements, and how they might adversely affect your sales tax audit assessment. Because of our first-hand knowledge of the sales tax audit process, we can advise our clients on how to proceed from the start.

There are also strategies we can recommend that are within the law and that will help your assessment experience. For example:

We’ll make all of this clear to you and advise you on the best procedure for your company. We do that every day for companies of all sizes and industries.

The best time to get STP involved is when your company is contacted by a state tax department. Usually, though, most companies call when they get their use and sales tax bill and are stunned by the amount of the assessment. Our sales tax consultants have a track record of reducing sales tax audit assessments by more than 64% for our client companies.
