1

Fix the Problem

Taxing jurisdictions regularly send out notices estimating liabilities for significant dollar amounts when they are missing documentation or a tax return. Many taxpayers do not know how or want to take the time to resolve these matters, and may just pay the liability assessed on the tax notice instead. By doing this, you could be significantly overpaying for no reason at all.

2

Find a Solution

​ECS will help you through your audit frustrations. Once we have a power of attorney, a CPA from our firm will work directly with the agent assigned to your case. Your assigned professional will determine the steps needed to resolve the matter and work with you directly to see that the appropriate documentation is provided.

3

Get Better Results

​Our experienced professionals are able to understand the demands of the taxing jurisdiction with the ability to keep the documentation simplified to meet their immediate needs. We will stay on top of the audit to see it through, and work to get any improperly assessed taxes, penalties, and interest removed for you.

Sales Tax Audit Case Study 1

Sales Tax Audit

Equipment Leasing Company Doing
Business in 73 Alabama Cities

Problem

During an Alabama sales tax audit, the auditor reviewed
the local business licenses held by the client throughout the
four-year period. The auditor assessed $22,722 of annual business license fees, penalties, and interest. The assessment was made for each city and year where the auditor believed no registration was completed.

Solution

ECS reviewed the different types of leases the client offered
in the State of Alabama to determine which items could be removed from the assessment. Subsequently, a package containing a list of necessary adjustments was prepared and presented to the auditor.

Results

Based on our research, adjustments were made to the original assessment. As the audit concluded, the total liability due to Alabama was $939.35.
