DMA's Sales/Use Tax Audit Management & Defense service focuses on your specific needs relative to current, upcoming or past sales/use tax audits. We can manage the entire audit process on your behalf or review audit work papers at any time during the audit process and prior to the statute of limitations expiring. We can also partner with you to perform a managed audit. Most important, you can be assured that you will pay only the minimum tax due.
Our comprehensive audit management service provides you with an experienced tax professional that will become an extension of your tax department. This professional will manage every step of the audit including:
- Meeting with the auditor and devising an equitable audit plan,
- Retrieving invoices and organizing items based on exemptions available,
- Reviewing all audit work papers in detail, including the audit methodology and sampling procedures,
- Identifying overpayments to incorporate into the audit work papers,
- Determining if proposed penalty and interest assessments can be waived,
- Documenting and presenting all findings to you and the auditor, and
- Pursuing unresolved issues through the appropriate channels, with your approval.
DMA can also be a "second pair of eyes" by reviewing the audit work papers at any time during the audit process or after the audit has concluded, as long as the statute of limitations remains open. You can be assured that we will examine the work papers in detail, including all transactions for proposed assessment, all issues raised, exemptions available, audit and sampling methodology, and the waiver of any proposed penalty and interest.
We focus on helping you reduce proposed sales/use tax audit assessments. And, we will provide you with recommendations designed to eliminate prospective tax errors in the future.
