Ask A Sales Tax Audit Lawyer: What Is The Sales Tax Audit Process?
A sales tax audit is a formal review of your finances and records to determine if your business paid the correct amount in taxes. An audit can be started for a number of different reasons, including changes in the law, discrepancies in past tax returns and similar events.
When the Ohio Department of Taxation chooses to audit a business, they notify the business by sending an Audit Commencement Letter. The review process may include:
- Preliminary meeting and tour of your facilities by the auditor
- Review of your financial records
- Final review meeting to go over the auditor’s recommendations
- Assessment
The time it takes to complete the audit will vary depending on the records the auditor needs to review. Our sales tax audit lawyers can help you understand how the audit will progress in your case and the penalties you may be facing. They can also help you prepare for each step of the audit to ensure your business interests are protected.
