Sales, Uses and Property Tax Services

Nearly every transaction involving goods and many service transactions come with an added charge for sales or use taxes. The tax rates can be as high as 10%. Each individual and every business—large or small—must consider the taxability of everything that is sold, bought, given away and/or consumed.

For businesses, overpayments of sales and use taxes are above-the-line costs, unduly burdening EBITDA and impacting earnings per share. Efficiently managing these costs aligns with effective financial management of the business, and can save significant time and money. Our experienced state and local tax professionals work with every aspect of sales and use tax and can help you make sense of the obligations and opportunities. 

Determining how much salary, business or investment income should be sourced to a particular state is complicated and inconsistent among the state jurisdictions. Our SALT professionals regularly identify the issues and provide the methodology to determine the appropriate amount of income/loss to be reported to a jurisdiction. 

H. Johnson CPA can manage, assist and/or represent clients to rigorously defend and reduce any potential assessment. 

The patchwork of state filings for individuals who derive income from multiple jurisdictions can be challenging. Our SALT professionals have a proven, efficient and results-oriented process to manage complex multi-jurisdiction filings for individuals.
