CD of Live 90-Minute Telephone Conference
with Interactive Q&A Session

The sample of invoices is the single-biggest factor determining whether a state sales or use tax audit turns out favorably for your company. And, have no illusions, the size and makeup of that sample comes down to hard-nosed negotiations between your tax staff and the revenue department, so you must understand the state’s guidelines to determine vulnerabilities in its block or sampling methodology.
Don’t sit back and wait for the state to stipulate the audit sample. Strike first with your own, smartly devised sample proposal and then fight for it to increase your chance to win big-dollar refunds on audit. At the very least, exercise your prerogative to push an alternative to the revenue department’s unfavorable sampling plan.
Listen as sampling gurus and veteran corporate tax pros prepare you to seize the initiative on establishing audit samples:
Will Yancey, nationally known independent sales tax consultant
Chris Mucke, state tax planning and analysis, of Ford Motor Co.
Tom Baker, North American audit manager, of BP America
Sean Nicholson, senior manager of sales and use tax, of Target Corp.
You’ll get new tactics and insights after hearing our experienced panel discuss:
- How to make a smart decision about sample size: is a small sample better for your company because tax staff spend less time chasing invoices, or would a big sample help your case?
- How to fight back if the revenue department either tries to keep out data that could land your company a credit or insists on an overly large sample.
- How to react when the auditor clearly doesn’t understand how your company’s compliance system works or overlooks accounts that favor your position.
- How to craft a proposal to sample data for a refund claim.
- Where you can learn what you need to know about a state’s sampling methodology and whether it’s truly “statistical.”
