Every year, companies can unintentionally overpay up to 12% on invoices due to erroneous tax charges or missed exemptions.

However, only 34%* of finance and tax professionals reported they have a process in place to prevent overpayments and only 15%* conduct necessary audits to capture refunds.

While many CFOs recognize that the tax function plays a critical role to strategically reduce liabilities, few use this department as an opportunity to recover millions back to the bottom line.

By conducting a reverse sales and use tax audit, companies can identify potential liabilities, retrieve overpaid taxes from states and vendors, and improve processes to prevent lost capital.

This paper covers:

• Why sales and use tax overpayments exist and how to detect them
• What is required for a reverse audit and how to build the business case for internal stakeholders
• The best practices to improve processes and leverage data to prepare for future audits
