You would probably be surprised to learn how often companies overpay Sales and Use Tax. We find that approximately 90% of companies we encounter have, or continue to pay, State Sales Tax that they did not owe. Not because of neglect by their CFO, Accountant, CPA or Financial staff, but merely because the Sales Tax Law was not applied correctly. Truth is, Sales Tax law is complex . It is difficult for financial professionals to maintain current knowledge of current laws. And, unless of course they specialize in Sales Tax, like we do, they are likely to not have experience with years of Sales Tax policies and opinions to draw from when assisting their clients with Sales Tax issues. This is especially true for internal finance professionals due to the depth of their day-to-day responsibilities.
