Sales Tax Audit Handling
We represent and defend your company before the Kentucky Department of Revenue.
A Kentucky sales and use tax audit can put real money and your time at risk. With over 88 years of combined experience administering and auditing state taxes, George & Company steps in as your representative before the Kentucky Department of Revenue — so you stay focused on running your business.
What a sales tax audit defense includes
We manage correspondence with the auditor, organize and present your records, identify items that were improperly assessed, and negotiate on your behalf. Because our team has sat on the auditor's side of the table, we know exactly where assessments tend to overreach — and how to push back with documentation that holds up.
Reducing liabilities, penalties, and interest
Many businesses accept an initial audit assessment without challenge. We don't. We review every line, identify overpayments that offset proposed liabilities, and pursue penalty and interest abatement wherever the law allows — frequently turning a feared assessment into a far smaller number.
Serving businesses across Kentucky
We represent companies in Louisville, Lexington, Owensboro, Bowling Green, Ashland, and throughout Kentucky. Our sales tax audit defense is available to any type of business.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do when I receive a Kentucky audit notice?
Contact us before responding. The earliest stages of an audit set the tone for everything that follows, and having an experienced representative manage that first contact protects you from costly missteps.
Can you reduce penalties and interest on an audit?
Often, yes. We pursue penalty and interest abatement where the law allows and offset proposed liabilities with overpayments we identify in your filing history.
