How The SALT Group Delivers Measurable Sales Tax Refund Benefits?
The SALT Group provides a disciplined, performance-based Sales & Use Tax refund review designed for mid-sized businesses that lack the time, incentives, or specialized expertise to recover historical overpayments internally.
Identify Overpaid Sales & Use Taxes
High-volume transaction data is reviewed to surface vendor mischarges, misapplied tax rules, and overlooked sales tax exemptions that result in accumulated overpayments.
Address Missed Sales Tax Exemptions
Transactions where valid sales tax exemption rules were inconsistently applied or improperly documented are examined to identify recoverable refund opportunities.
Correct Overstated Transactional Tax
Transactional tax payments are reviewed to identify excess tax paid as a result of conservative practices used to manage audit exposure.
Avoid Upfront Cost or Financial Risk
Engagements operate on a performance-based model, with fees tied to identified and executed recovery actions rather than billable hours or open-ended consulting work.
Strengthen Future Tax Accuracy
Clear guidance on taxability rules and exemption handling helps reduce repeat overpayments and improve ongoing Sales & Use Tax accuracy across jurisdictions.

“The SALT Group reviewed our Waste invoices for several facilities. I was totally impressed and pleased with the savings. I thought we had good rates – but I learned that The SALT Group had specialized technical expertise and understood the nuances such that they could deliver an excellent result. The savings we achieved were not dependent on switching service providers. The staff at The SALT Group are professional and friendly. Next, we will have them look at our Telecom invoices.”

FAQs
Will a sales tax refund review increase our risk of a state tax audit?
No. Refund claims are prepared using documented statutes, exemption rules, and formal state procedures. The review corrects historical overpayments rather than altering reported liabilities, keeping filings compliant and defensible.
How much time will our finance or accounting team need to commit?
Minimal. The SALT Group manages data analysis, documentation, and state filings end-to-end. Internal teams typically provide secure data access and limited clarification only.
What happens if no refund opportunities are identified?
Engagements are performance-based. Fees are tied to identified and executed recovery actions, not billable hours or speculative consulting work.
