Sales & Use Tax Consulting

Why Sales and Use Tax Consulting Matters for Businesses

At Agile Consulting, we believe that the only constant is change – especially with respect to sales and use tax laws. Sales and use tax rules and regulations are always evolving and growing more complex. At the same time, tax audits are becoming more frequent.


As sales and use tax specialists, we are a supplementary resource to our clients’ operations regardless of whether they have an in-house tax team, no prior experience dealing with sales and use tax or fall somewhere in between. We provide a turnkey solution for our clients come alongside organizations as experienced advocates to align their tax and accounting systems with current tax laws, correct past errors, recover money lost in unwarranted overpayments by correcting prior errors, and eliminate future overspending.

Opportunities for sales tax overpayments occur at several stages in the purchasing cycle for businesses. 

Typical Places for Sales Tax Overpayments

When orders are submitted to vendors or suppliers for purchases for the business’s own use

When vendors or suppliers may erroneously tax items that qualify for a sales tax exemption

When accounts payable invoices containing taxes billed in error are paid in full

When non-taxed items have use tax assessed in error and reported and paid to the taxing authority

Vendors’ or suppliers’ systems do not accurately capture relevant sales and use tax exemptions.

Accounts payable staff isn’t fully aware of sales and use tax exemptions for which the business qualifies.

In-house staff isn’t fully aware of sales and use tax exemptions for which the business qualifies.
