Why would your business need a Sales Tax expert when you have a CPA, Accountant, CFO, Tax Team, and/or Tax Attorney?

Compliance with Sales and Use Tax Laws is more complex than ever.
State tax authorities are more aggressive than ever.

According to Forbes, 95% of businesses overpay tax.

Every year, businesses unnecessarily relinquish BILLIONS of dollars in capital due to overpaid sales tax.

How do we know?
Robert Miller, president and founder of RK Miller Associates is a former Sales Tax Auditor and saw this first hand.

The Tax Law of each state is slightly different and changes constantly. It is extremely difficult for accountants, CPA’s and even tax attorneys to keep up with the law.

Why does this matter?
Experience Counts.

Sales and Use Tax is our specialty!

We negotiated a MILLION DOLLAR reduction AFTER a client’s on-site finance team, in-house Corporate Controller and Tax Team exhausted all options to minimize a very large assessment of tax, penalty and interest.

In another case, the auditors challenged one client all the way to appeals with an UNSUBSTANTIATED SALES TAX CLAIM. The client was ready to pay a $600,000 assessment. However, RK Miller Associates knew the law, had solid ground to challenge the assessment, and prevailed in appeals. The final outcome resulted in client ended up paying around $25,000 in legitimate sales tax.

Want another example?
A solo-entrepreneur and business owner was facing a sales tax audit with significant exposure due to non-compliance. A large assessment could have been devastating and potentially put him out of business. RK Miller Associates represented the client throughout the audit, avoided what could have been a six-figure assessment, resulting in ZERO Sales Tax due.

Scenarios like this occur every day for our Sales Tax Audit and Assessment Appeals clients in every industry from manufacturing, luxury retail, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, to entertainment, tech companies and more.

Did you know?

Sales Tax Auditors are not required to recognize or point out Sales and Use Tax Credits, Exemptions, or over-payment of Sales Tax that will benefit organizations undergoing audit?

Sales Tax Auditors are motivated to identify any and all opportunities to generate sales tax revenue for the state. They represent the government. They have no obligation to recognize exemptions you may not be taking advantage of, or refunds you may be due.

You wouldn’t face an IRS audit without expert representation…why would you go through a sales tax audit, or navigate any sales tax issue without the expertise needed to aggressively defend your business and actively pursue legal means to reduce your tax liability?
