- Sales tax audits are increasingly common, with many businesses being audited by both their home state and other states, especially Alabama, California, and Texas.
- Many finance executives lack confidence in their audit preparedness, and one audit can trigger additional audits in other states if non-compliance is found.
- Common audit triggers include not charging tax on taxable products, missing permits, incorrect tax calculations, and missing resale certificates.
- Sales tax exemptions require valid exemption certificates, which must be reviewed and collected promptly to avoid auditors assuming transactions are taxable.
- To protect your business, collect and review exemption certificates early and allow customers to submit them in various formats.
