Our experienced team of attorneys understands the challenges that businesses face in complying with sales tax obligations and proudly offer tailored representation services to clients across all fifty states.
Sales Tax Nexus Determinations: One of the key aspects of sales tax representation is helping businesses determine whether they have nexus, or a sufficient connection, with a certain state to be subject to sales tax obligations. Our attorneys conduct thorough nexus determinations, analyzing various factors such as physical presence, economic nexus, click-through nexus, and affiliate nexus to assess our clients’ sales tax obligations accurately. We review our clients’ business activities, including sales, distribution, marketing, and fulfillment operations, to identify any potential nexus issues and develop strategies to address them proactively.
Compliance Assistance: Once nexus determinations are made, we provide comprehensive compliance assistance to help businesses fulfill their sales tax obligations effectively. We assist clients in registering for seller’s permits, obtaining other necessary permits and licenses, and understanding their filing requirements. We also provide guidance on sales tax collection, reporting, and remittance procedures, helping clients navigate the intricacies of sales tax compliance with confidence and ease.
Audit Representation: In the event of a sales tax audit by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) or other state tax agency, our attorneys provide skilled representation to protect our clients’ interests and ensure a fair and accurate audit process. We work closely with our clients to prepare for audits, gather necessary documentation, and respond to audit inquiries in a timely and thorough manner. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, minimizing potential liabilities and resolving audit issues efficiently.
Dispute Resolution: If disputes arise during the audit process or after audit findings are issued, our attorneys advocate vigorously on behalf of our clients to resolve sales tax disputes. We review audit findings, assess their accuracy and validity, and develop persuasive arguments to challenge erroneous assessments or penalties. We represent clients in appeals and other dispute resolution proceedings, negotiating with state taxation agencies to achieve favorable resolutions that minimize tax liabilities and protect our clients’ interests.
Legislative and Regulatory Updates: We keep clients informed of changes to sales tax laws, regulations, and policies that may impact their tax obligations and compliance requirements. We provide timely updates and analysis to help clients stay ahead of developments and make informed decisions regarding their sales tax matters.
