Sales and Use Tax
Rapid changes in sales and use tax rules across the U.S. pose a challenge for many businesses struggling to keep up. This often results in an increased risk of exposure and inefficient use of in-house staff who find themselves burdened by compliance at the expense of core business functions. With our experienced team of tax professionals, CKH Group provides the most effective solution in streamlining the monthly return preparation and filing process, reducing your tax burden, and protecting your bottom line. Our tailored and scalable approach enables us to become an extension of your tax department, allowing you to focus on strategic business initiatives while knowing that your sales and use tax obligations are in the most capable hands.
Property Tax
For many businesses, real and personal property taxes comprise their largest state and local tax liabilities and may increase in complexity as a company grows. Consequently, understanding these complexities and recognizing areas for potential savings are important, but also challenging. The CKH Group team is well-versed in real and personal property tax liability management. Whether it’s identifying overvaluations or recovering overpayments; reviewing and preparing personal property renditions; maximizing favorable treatment based on property class or usage; eliminating assessments on non-existent assets; or providing a comprehensive outsourcing compliance service, CKH Group can tailor a solution to meet our specific needs.
Unclaimed Property
As states seek out additional sources of revenue, unclaimed property has become an increasingly important area of concern for many businesses, especially those with uncashed checks, inactive customer deposits, unredeemed gift cards or other customer credits. In every state, businesses are mandated to report and remit items like these, which have been “unclaimed” for a defined period of time. Frequent legislative changes and a stronger push in enforcement activity make it difficult for companies to maintain accurate compliance. Whether maintaining compliance, initiating new or expanded compliance, or addressing audit notices, CKH Group’s committed team provides companies with proven procedures to resolve your unclaimed property issues and mitigate any potential risk in the future.
Credits and Incentives
Many state and local governments are seeking to help businesses expand by offering credits and incentives across a variety of sectors. From performance incentives and training grants to utility cost reductions and property tax abatement, there are opportunities for businesses in all stages and industries. Most credit and incentive initiatives have limited windows of opportunity for businesses to act and secure the full benefits. Navigating the various ways in which your business can cut down on its tax expenditures and keeping up with incentive deadlines can be difficult on your own. Our expert team at CKH Group can help manage these opportunities by analyzing your business functions to find relevant credit and incentive options and bring them to light.
Business Licensing
Managing your company’s business license obligations can be overwhelming due to the numerous licenses, permits, and tax registrations needed across state, city, county, municipal, township and special district governments. When your company misses a filing date or fails to properly meet a business license requirement, your company is subject to fines and penalties, or even, forced closure. Our team is committed to reducing the time, effort, and expenses involved with business licenses. At CKH Group, we will create a streamlined and customized process to ensure that your company remains compliant with all state and local licensing obligations.
Excise Tax
Today, the IRS administers over 30 different federal excise taxes, each with its own unique set of rules and applications. With additional regulations set by state governments, local institutions, and other regulatory bodies, excise taxes can quickly become overwhelming and difficult to navigate. CKH Group is here to help with all of your excise tax needs, regardless of your location or industry. From compliance, notice disputes, and audit representation to planning, consulting, and due diligence, our expert team will help your business capitalize on opportunities and mitigate potential risks across all sectors.
