State Sales Tax Issues

Do you own a business that sells taxable goods to customers? Have you had problems keeping up your tax records? Have you failed to charge customers sales tax in the past, or have you failed to remit sales tax to the state and local tax authorities? If your business has been selected for a tax audit, and you know that you have had problems with remitting sales tax, you'll need a tax firm on your side to help you through the process.

If you've failed to remit sales tax to the state or local tax authority, as a business owner you are held personally liable. This means that you are responsible for the amount of tax owed, and the tax authorities can attempt to collect that amount from you as an individual. Like payroll tax problems, state sales tax issues are taken very seriously by tax authorities, and you can be sure that the tax authority will make every attempt to collect the amount due.
