Sales tax consulting services are defined pieces of work, each scoped to a specific problem and ending in a result you can act on or hand to a state. Take voluntary disclosure: when a past gap needs cleaning up, it can cap the look-back and waive penalties, on terms that vary by state. California limits it to three years instead of eight; New York goes further, lifting criminal exposure as well and admitting even taxpayers whose nonpayment was intentional. Filing one is one of the services below, and only before the state makes contact.
a state-by-state determination of where you have a sales tax obligation, with the evidence behind each call.
a mapping of your products and services to taxable or exempt treatment in the states you sell into.
registration in the states a nexus study flagged, set up so collection starts correctly.
a filing to bring past exposure current on capped terms, used when the lookback or penalties are the concern.
a check of your records and positions before a state ever asks, so an audit finds the work already done.
You take the one that matches your situation, not all five.
We gather the relevant data (sales by state, product list, purchase or filing history) and build it on that.
You get the study, matrix, registrations, disclosure, or review, with the reasoning, ready to act on.
Each of these is judged on what you get: was it specific, defensible, and usable.
The one people underuse is the audit-readiness review, because it has no deadline forcing it. Yet it is the cheapest point to fix a weak position, because the exposure a readiness review surfaces is often far larger than the cost of the review.
Cost depends on which service, the number of states and products involved, and how much history there is to review. A single-state taxability matrix is a smaller job than a multi-state nexus study with a disclosure. We quote once we know what is involved.
You need to know where you owe: nexus study.
You are unsure what is taxable: taxability matrix.
The study found new states: registration rollout.
You have past exposure to resolve: voluntary disclosure.
You want to be ready before a state asks: audit-readiness review.
If more than one applies, they follow a natural order: study, then registrations or disclosure, then readiness. We will tell you the order that fits rather than selling all of them at once.
You do not have to know exactly which one you need. Tell us the problem and we will point you to the one that solves it, or tell you that none is needed yet.
Describe what you are dealing with, and we will point you to the right service and what it will deliver. Confidential, handled by a CPA, not a call center.
