Sales and Use Tax Audit Assistance

ARE YOU FACING THIS SITUATION?

State treasuries are vigorously searching for every penny of tax revenue.  As a result, state revenue departments have increased the number of sales and use tax audits on large industrial taxpayers.  During these audits, questions are growing about the tax exemptions claimed on purchases of electricity, natural gas, water and propane.  In many cases, if energy and predominant use studies supporting the exemption claims cannot be produced, auditors assume the utility purchase in question (electricity, natural gas, etc.) are deemed 100 percent taxable.

The tax experts at International Utility Services can help.  We have extensive experience working with taxpayers who face utility tax questions from state revenue departments.  Our experts can produce the energy and predominant use studies that fully utilizes the rules and regulations applicable to utility tax exemptions.  Our documentation maximizes your exemptions and will withstand the scrutiny of your state's department of revenue audit.
