SALT Reverse Audits – Sales & Use Tax Recovery Services

The amount of taxes erroneously overpaid by US businesses and not-for-profits is nothing short of astounding. There are numerous firms that provide Reverse Audit services.

What is a Reverse Audit?

A Reverse Audit is a non-obtrusive audit, similar to those conducted by the Sales and Tax Department of each State with one exception. Our sole focus is to identify sales and use tax credits, over-payments, opinions and policies that favor YOUR organization.

Best Reverse Audit Sales Tax Refund Company is One That is Honest and Lets You Keep Most of Your Refund

This sounds like common sense. However, it is not uncommon for SALT companies performing sales and use tax refund and credit audits take up to 75% of recovered sales tax refunds and credits.

We believe it should be the industry standard for the sales tax reverse audit company performing the Reverse Audit, do the work, take all the risk, and only get paid a contingency fee when the refund or credit is approved. But not every reverse audit company agrees.

We do conduct Reverse Audits under a contingency fee agreement, and we only get paid that fee (no surprises) when the state approves your refund (or credit), no matter how long it takes…even if we’ve had to go to the first level of appeals to get it.

Our contingency fee varies by type and size of the organization and typically ranges from 30-40% for a first-time client. Our contingency fee is lower for returning clients.

*We can’t stress the importance of regular Reverse Audits enough!
It is important to repeat the Reverse Audits every couple of years to avoid losing refunds to statute of limitations.

Why Your Sales Tax Audit Didn’t Reveal What We Find in Reverse Audits

Simply put, the State Sales Tax Audit is one-sided. SALT audits are designed to identify Sales and Use tax owed to the state. Auditors are not required to, therefore seldom, if ever, consider or apply tax laws, opinions or policies that favor the tax payer.
