This course will offer corporate tax and financial professionals best practices for managing sales and use tax recovery projects. The panel will discuss how to identify potential tax overpayments and how to work through the recovery process with internal stakeholders, external consultants, and/or state representatives. The panel will also discuss the implementation of safeguards against future overpayments.

Description

To maximize cash flow, a multistate company should consider a reverse audit. Whether as part of a traditional sales/use tax audit, or done as a stand-alone project, an effectively-managed sales and use tax reverse audit can generate cash, reduce future costs, and identify opportunities for improving processes on a go-forward basis.

How do you identify potential overpayments of tax? How much staff time or external costs should a corporate tax department leader expect to invest in a reverse audit, when can it be fit in, and what quality standards are non-negotiable? After the conclusion of a reverse audit, how do you avoid future overpayments?

Listen as our panel of experienced state tax advisers prepares you for an effective reverse sales tax audit, either conducted by your staff or by overseeing the work of an outside advisory firm.
