Course Overview

In today's intricately woven business landscape, State and Local Taxes (SALT) profoundly influence enterprises across every sector. This CE Course aims to empower CPAs with essential knowledge and practical tools to navigate the challenges and prospects presented by SALT adeptly. 

We will delve into the utility of reverse audits, a method designed to uncover refund opportunities, identify overpayments, and highlight overlooked exemptions. These situations often stem from operational missteps and excessive tax payments. By skillfully utilizing reverse audits, participants have the potential to recover substantial amounts on behalf of their clients. Industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and e-commerce mainly offer unique avenues for refunds, especially concerning capital equipment and research and development expenditures.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Reverse audit techniques
  • SALT compliance challenges
  • Tax minimization strategies
  • Industry-specific refund opportunities
  • Recovering missed exemptions

Join this CE Course and understand the pivotal role of State and Local Taxes (SALT) in business operations, including compliance, tax recovery, and strategies to curtail tax liabilities.

Kathleen Warchol, Others

Somewhat unusual overall. The lady in this presentation spoke too rapidly and kept ending sentences with the word "right," which was confusing sometimes, as to what she was trying to convey (similar to the way some people use the word "like," which is also not a good practice. What was presented by both people was not what was anticipated.
