    Sales and Use Tax

    Sales and Use Tax

    Sales Tax Filing Requirements

    Thereโ€™s no better time than now to review your state sales tax filing requirements. If you are operating in several states, itโ€™s important to know the taxability of your services and products as well as where you are responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax. At Redpath and Company, our dedicated sales tax team has specialized knowledge regarding nexus and sales tax filing requirements.

    Conduct a Nexus Review

    Our team will complete a review of your state activities to identify and quantify any tax exposure or liabilities. Then, we will help you determine if additional state returns need to be filed and/or if any state voluntary disclosure agreements should be done.

    Sales and Use Tax Refunds

    Sales and use tax refunds and compliance are often misunderstood or overlooked by companies. Many companies miss out on sales and use tax refunds, or pay vendors unnecessary sales tax, because they are unsure of the regulations. Your tax adviser can consult with you regarding future transactions and review financial records to make sure you stay in compliance.

    Specialized Services

    Tax Research

    Your tax advisers are experts that will conduct research to verify purchases and sales to ensure compliance. Rules and regulations change over time and your tax position should be monitored on an ongoing basis.

    Taxability and Procedures

    Protect yourself before an audit situation arises. A review of your companyโ€™s state activities and exemption certificate management helps ensure that youโ€™re in compliance with sales and use tax rules and regulations. We will meet with your team to review your records and procedures, then weโ€™ll work with you to adjust or create better procedures.

    Nexus Reviews

    Where you collect and remit sales tax is determined by where your company has nexus. Nexus, in years past,meant some sort of location or office.  More recently, states have pushed their own interpretation of nexus, and it now seems to mean the โ€œslightest presence or any presence.โ€ A review of your state activities should be looked at to identify and quantify any tax exposure or liabilities and to determine which states you may have a filing requirement in.

    State and Local Registrations

    If you are preparing to move to another state or discover that you have a filing requirement in another state, we can help you take care of any registrations.

    Audit Support

    You donโ€™t have to go it alone if you get audited. If there are claims that need further investigation or clarification, rest assured youโ€™ll have the support you need every step of the way.

    Sales Tax Preparation

    Businesses and individuals donโ€™t have to be experts to get their sales tax returns prepared accurately and efficiently. Since laws are always changing, your tax professionals continuously educate themselves to ensure full compliance with every filing.

    Refunds and Claims

    Any purchases of equipment or materials used or consumed to produce a product may qualify for a refund. A review of your vendor purchases can identify past overpayments, help recoup costs, and prepare you for future transactions. Your tax adviser will help you understand your options for future purchases and work to recover money overlooked in previous tax reporting.
