Understanding Reverse Audits
Sales tax rates and rules can change frequently, and compliance can vary significantly from state to state. Keeping up with these changes and figuring out the correct sales tax charges on services can be a real challenge. That’s where a reverse sales tax audit comes in.
What is a Reverse Sales Tax Audit?
A reverse sales tax audit is like a financial check-up for your business. Instead of waiting for a tax authority to come and check your records, we proactively review your past transactions to find any mistakes or overpayments you might have made. Essentially, it’s a way to look back and see if there’s money you’ve overpaid or credits you’ve missed out on that you could potentially recover.
The sales tax professionals at TMTY have the expertise to pinpoint these discrepancies and also navigate the complex process of reclaiming overpaid taxes. We handle all of the work to ensure your financial records are in order and any money you’re owed is reclaimed.
