Sales & Use Tax

Compliance with sales and use tax laws has become increasingly difficult as companies operate in a multistate environment. Complex rules and aggressive enforcement by tax officials pose new risks. Penalties are imposed on nearly 25% of companies that are subject to a sales and use tax audit. In addition, the administrative costs of collection and compliance are going up.

Virchow Krause can help your business meet these challenges. We have the experience, resources, and contacts to minimize your exposure, avoid or recover overpayments, and control compliance costs.

Solutions Beyond the Basics
Working with you, our sales and use tax specialists will develop a proactive sales and use tax strategy for your company. We begin with the company's multistate "nexus" footprint and extend to all aspects of collection, payment, tax returns, the payables process, audit defense, and advanced planning techniques. Our services include:
  • Dispute resolution such as audit defense, appeals, and private letter rulings.
  • Reverse audits.
  • Nexus reviews and voluntary disclosure agreements.
  • Percentage use tax reporting agreements.
  • Special entity and restructuring tax planning.
  • Automated compliance solutions and compliance reviews.
  • Sales and use tax training.
  • Cost segregation studies.

Advantages for You
Virchow Krause professionals will assist you by:
  • Reducing "business" risk through the control of nexus and audit exposure.
  • Cutting your sales and use tax compliance costs.
  • Maximizing exemptions and recover overpayments.
  • Keeping your products/services competitively priced; imposing sales tax when the law requires.
