Nexus studies and voluntary disclosures—If your company is expanding across state lines, you may face nexus issues associated with state income tax. Deloitte Tax can help with an objective, informed and supportable nexus study. We can help you quantify the potential exposures. If you, in fact, have tax exposures, we can help you limit the number of years the state will go back, and manage your penalties with voluntary disclosure. We may be able to help you identify and claim refunds in states where the sales throwback has been reduced.

Recovery reviews—Even companies with sophisticated tax departments may have tax-refund opportunities because refund rules are complex and changing. There are so many gray areas that a regular review often uncovers new tax-refund opportunities. The professionals at Deloitte Tax can quickly and thoroughly evaluate your refund potential, using proven processes and technologies. The results of our review can deliver considerable added value across your tax organization.
