MONTHLY SALES TAX RETURNS

Comprehensive Sales Tax Services

Our monthly sales tax services include transaction analysis and tax calculation, exemption certificate management, return preparation and filing, payment processing and remittance, compliance monitoring and updates, penalty avoidance strategies, and audit support and representation.

We work with your existing accounting systems to ensure all sales transactions are properly analyzed, appropriate taxes are calculated, and returns are filed accurately and on time. This systematic approach eliminates the stress and complexity of sales tax compliance.

Accurate Tax Calculations

Proper sales tax calculation requires understanding which transactions are taxable, applicable tax rates for different jurisdictions, valid exemptions and exclusions, special rules for different product types, and proper documentation requirements. Our expertise ensures all calculations are accurate and compliant with current regulations.

We maintain current knowledge of Georgia sales tax rates and requirements, including state rates, local option sales taxes, special district taxes, and industry-specific rules. This expertise ensures your business pays the correct amount while avoiding overpayment or underpayment issues.

Timely Filing and Payment

Sales tax returns must be filed and payments remitted according to strict deadlines that vary based on your business’s filing frequency. Late filings result in penalties and interest charges that can quickly add up to significant amounts. Our services ensure all returns are filed and payments are made on time, every time.

We maintain detailed calendars of filing deadlines, prepare returns in advance of due dates, and process payments to ensure timely remittance. This proactive approach protects your business from costly penalties while maintaining good standing with tax authorities.

Exemption Certificate Management

Managing sales tax exemptions requires proper documentation, certificate collection, and record-keeping. Invalid or missing exemption certificates can result in tax liability for transactions you thought were exempt. Our services include exemption certificate management, validation, and proper documentation to protect your business from unexpected tax liabilities.

We help establish systems for collecting and maintaining exemption certificates, validate existing certificates, and ensure proper documentation for all exempt transactions. This attention to detail provides protection during audits and reduces overall tax liability.

Penalty Prevention and Risk Management

Sales tax penalties can be substantial, and repeat violations can result in increased scrutiny from tax authorities. Our services focus on penalty prevention through accurate calculations, timely filings, proper documentation, and ongoing compliance monitoring.

When issues do arise, we provide immediate response and resolution support to minimize penalties and protect your business interests. This proactive approach to risk management saves money and reduces stress.

Technology Integration and Efficiency

Modern sales tax compliance benefits from technology integration that automates calculations, simplifies reporting, and ensures accuracy. We work with various POS systems, e-commerce platforms, and accounting software to streamline sales tax processes and improve efficiency.

This technology integration reduces manual work, minimizes errors, and provides better visibility into your sales tax obligations and compliance status.

Ongoing Support and Advisory Services

Sales tax regulations change frequently, and new business activities can create new compliance requirements. Our services include ongoing support for questions, guidance on new requirements, advisory services for business changes, and proactive communication about regulatory updates.
