Sales Tax Recovery

Businesses with many suppliers and vendors will often be charged sales tax on the goods and services they purchase. Often, the sales tax has been incorrectly charged, and the business can seek to recover those overpaid taxes. 

What is a Refund Review?

A Refund Review is the process of looking through purchase data to find incorrect sales or use tax charges or accruals. Once the data has been reviewed and overpayments identified, a refund application is prepared and submitted to the vendor, or directly to the state, and the funds are returned directly to the business. 

Refund reviews are also useful if a business is undergoing a sales tax audit, as states will often allow for overpayments to be used as an offset against liabilities identified.
