Audit Defense

Audit Entry Point

Is the audit complete and had an assessment been issued?

Is the answer NO?

We will gather and document credits that can be used upon acceptance to offset potential deficiency assessment. We will provide assistance with the audit by analyzing the audit findings and aid in negotiating the final audit assessment.

Is the Answer YES?

The Defense

Innovative Sales Tax Solutions will analyze the audit for questionable or unfairly assessed transactions. We will document sales tax credits that can be used to offset the assessment by reviewing historic purchase activity within the audit period for overpayments. Innovative Sales Tax Solutions will prepare an assessment appeal providing support to reduce the existing assessment, as well as gather necessary information in order to appropriately document the refund appeal.

The Appeal

Innovative Sales Tax Solutions will file the petition to the appropriate appeal level and gather additional documentation, as required by the various jurisdictional appeal levels. Innovative Sales Tax Solutions will represent our client throughout the appeal process.

The Results

Our client will be satisfied because a favorable decision means a reduction in the audit deficiency. If parts of the reassessment are not accepted, the petition will require further review at the next appeal level upon our Client's approval. Finally, Innovative Sales Tax Solutions will provide a review and analysis of the results based on the Client's needs. Our goal at Innovative Sales Tax Solutions is to provide you, our client, with a higher level of sales and use tax decision making efficiency and effectiveness, bringing added value to your Compliance department.
