i Multistate Guide to Sales and Use Tax Audits (with CD-ROM), 2012 By www.cch.ca Published On :: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:08:43 GMT Author: Daniel M. Davis, MBA (Taxation), CPA, CFE Provides state-specific material for preparing for and handling an audit in all states that impose sales and use taxes. Readers will gain an increased understanding of why their businesses or clients were selected for audit, how their audits will proceed, what the audit staff will be looking for, and how assessments are developed. Instead of enacting tax increases, taxing agencies are quietly encouraged to mine every possible dollar from the existing tax structures. As a result, a sales and use tax audit notice generally may be regarded as the first step in a state civil action intended to extract additional funds from a specific taxpayer. Since this may often result in unfavorable consequences for the taxpayer, this book is intended to improve the taxpayer's chances of prevailing in what is often a losing battle. It aims to assist taxpayers in proactively avoiding paying more than their legal share of taxes. This guide comes with a CD-ROM, containing approximately 200 state and local exemption certificates.
