You are under a sales tax audit or you have already received an assessment from the California revenue agency for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do you need a $400+ an hour sales tax lawyer on retainer? You generally do NOT need a sales tax lawyer to solve your California administrative sales tax problems.
For starters, most states, including California, does not require a sales tax attorney to represent a business before the agency. Having a power of attorney with a qualified representative is often adequate to represent your business with a sales tax issue in California. More important than the letters after their name is whether your sales tax consultant is well versed and has extensive experience with state tax issues, such as sales tax, is what really matters. While our team is not licensed attorneys in California, our team has experienced sales tax attorneys that have decades of experience fighting state sales tax issues.
