SMART TAX USA – What We Do

Smart Tax USA will spend two to three days making a preliminary determination of the sales and use tax refund potential. This will involve reviewing the current year of accounts payable and related sales tax accrual procedures for each location. Some other records may be necessary as the review progresses.

Smart Tax USA will discuss our preliminary findings with the appropriate personnel and decide the best course of action from that point forward.

Sales and Use Reverse Audits are generally performed externally because most companies do not have the time or the resources to devote to such a project.

Identifying Refund Potential

Steps and Procedures. SMART TAX USA will identify areas of sales and use tax overpayments and will document these areas with the appropriate references and explanations. We will review the most convenient records first, and then expand our review to include all open periods as warranted. Once we have identified a possible refund opportunity we will follow the proper procedures to validate the claim and insure that no previous credits or refunds were given on any of the issues we identify.

Obtaining Refunds

SMART TAX USA will take full responsibility and secure all documentation necessary to obtain the refunds from the State and /or vendors as appropriate including necessary follow-up submissions and meetings. This will involve several recovery methods to include filing a claim for refund directly with the vendors. It is our goal to keep a positive vendor relation between the vendor and your company. Secondly we will also file refund request directly with the appropriate taxing authority. Please keep in mind no refund will be sought without your approval.
