Is Your Current Sales Tax Documentation Management & Filing System Audit Ready?

The knot. You know the one, deep in your stomach when a tax auditor requests exempt sales documentation from your company. Until you search through your imaged documents or your filing cabinets, you can’t know for certain what you’ll find.

But you already know in your gut what to expect: Some unhealthy mixture of missing certificates, improperly completed certificates, expired certificates, incorrectly chosen forms (generally Texas will not accept an Alabama resale certificate – go figure), and (fingers crossed) valid certificates.

And so you begin your quest.

Once you understand the documentation you have and what you don’t – the hard part begins.

That pain. You know this one too. In the back of your neck, as you realize the magnitude of the task ahead. As if you and your team weren’t already swamped trying to keep up with day-to-day work. You assess the situation and the questions begin to mount:

• Should you simply forward the existing documentation over to the audit team? (Oh my!)
• Do you have the bandwidth and specialized expertise to properly assess whether each certificate is sufficient under the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction?
• Should your customer service or client teams reach out to customers to try to attain proper documentation? (And if so, who within your customers’ organizations should they contact?)
• How will you validate newly acquired certificates?
• When is enough, enough?

The bottom line is that obtaining and validating exempt sales documentation is highly specialized and time-consuming. It is not at the top of most tax professionals’ list of priorities.
