Finance & Commodities

The financial services sector is deeply familiar with regulation. However, despite this in-depth knowledge many players in finance and commodities have limited expertise when it comes to sales tax exemption certificates. This is a challenge and potential liability. Honoring a tax-exempt transaction without the proper documentation may result in a sales tax assessment.

Risk of Tax Assessment for Exempt Sales

Exempt sales of commodities are a routine occurrence for financial services companies. As most deal with large sums of money, it can appear to be a modest risk if the documentation that supports an exempt sale is missing or incomplete. However, the audit process and the potential impact are not to be taken lightly. Tax authorities use a sampling method to determine which sales are not justifiably tax exempt and extrapolate accordingly. This means that even just a few missing pieces of paper can result in a very expensive sales tax assessment.
