Audit Management
Whether your company has just been notified of a sales tax audit or is in the middle of one, our expert consultants can help. ASTC consultants have inside knowledge of the audit process, because most of them are former sales tax auditors, supervisors, trainers, or reviewers.
Appeals
Has your company's audit been completed and billed, or your refund claim denied? Our experienced team will prepare your protest and argue your case before the state's taxing agency. ASTC has been defending taxpayers for over 30 years and has successfully represented thousands of companies in appeals before taxing agencies.
Refund Claims & Reverse Audits
Do you know or suspect that your company overpaid sales or use tax? We can help you get your money back, in most cases with interest. We love getting money back for our clients. As former auditors, our consultants know how to ferret out overpaid taxes, build a case for your refund, compile evidence, and file the necessary documents with the state.
