Sales and use tax recovery

Businesses routinely overpay sales and use tax: tax paid on exempt purchases, manufacturing and resale exemptions never applied, vendor-charged tax in states where none was due. The money is recoverable, but only by claim, and only inside a fixed window.

The deadline in this category is real, and it does not move.

What we look for

Each of these is a rule that exists in writing somewhere — a filed tariff, a signed contract, a state statute — and can be checked against your own documents.

  1. 01Tax paid on exempt purchases

    The most common finding, and usually the largest.

  2. 02Manufacturing and resale exemptions never applied

    The exemption exists; the certificate was never given to the vendor.

  3. 03Vendor-charged tax where none was due

    Charged by a vendor in a state that did not require it, and paid without question.

  4. 04The same purchase taxed twice

    Sales tax paid at purchase and use tax accrued again on the same item.

This is the one area of our work where the clock is written into statute. Texas allows four years from the date of payment; California, New York, and Florida allow three. Anything older is gone.

What to send

Documents you already hold. Nothing to prepare, nothing to export, no access to any system — and nothing is uploaded until the agreement is signed.

  1. 01A short written scoping exchange first

    This category starts with one email from us telling you exactly what to pull, because the answer depends on your states.

  2. 02Typically an AP export and your exemption certificates

    Nothing that identifies an individual person.

We do not need anything that identifies an individual person.

This is arithmetic against published rules, not an inspection of your staff. If a document you are about to send happens to contain names, redact them or send the summary page instead — the arithmetic does not change.

What you get, and what it costs

The deliverable is the same whether or not there is money to recover: a written document that states what was checked, against which rule, and with what result.

A reverse audit of your purchase dataTransaction level, against the exemption rules of each state involved.
Prepared refund claimsOne per state, in the form that state requires.
Documentation that stands upAssembled so it holds if the state asks questions afterwards, because it will.
If nothing is recoverableA short written all-clear. Worth having: it means the billing was done correctly.
Our fee33 % of what is actually refunded or credited to your account. Nothing up front, nothing hourly, nothing if we find nothing.

How long it takes

First replyWithin 48 business hours, in writing.
Findings reportThree to four weeks — this is the most data-heavy review we do.
State refund processingVaries widely by state. We manage the filings.

The lookback period is set by statute and differs by state: four years in Texas, three in California, New York, and Florida. It is one of the very few figures in this industry with a citable legal source, and it is the reason this category rewards acting early rather than thoroughly later.

Three facts to begin

Your state, your approximate annual spend, and the vendor. That is enough for us to tell you whether a review is worth your time — before any document changes hands.
