Texas Sales and Mixed Beverage Tax Solutions

Sales Tax and Mixed Beverage Tax Compliance - Are Your Clients Prepared?

Your client collects and remits Texas sales tax and/or mixed beverage tax - but are they truly in compliance?

Texas law requires businesses to maintain complete and organized records for four years. Keep in mind: records sufficient for federal income tax purposes often do not meet state requirements for sales tax.

If your client's records are incomplete or poorly maintained, the Comptroller may classify the business as having no internal controls, leading to an estimated audit - which often results in substantial tax liabilities.

Can your client afford that risk?

Our team of former Texas Comptroller auditors and supervisors can help ensure your clients are prepared and protected.

Call 817-478-5788 or 214-415-4333. Texas Sales and Mixed Beverage Tax Solutions.
