Texas Tax Group Credit/Refund Review Process

  • Texas Tax Group will review accounts payable records for the last four years to become familiar with the vendors used as well as the type of equipment/services purchased. As the consultant reviews the Accounts Payable records, he or she we will:
    • Scan and/or copy invoices and supporting documentation for purchases that have potential credits.
    • Review for any potential exposure of taxable purchases where sales tax is not being properly assessed.
    • Create a list of questions to eventually ask a plant manager or someone else with technical knowledge of the manufacturing process and equipment.
  • Based on your availability, a Texas Tax Group consultant will request an opportunity to discuss the preliminary findings.
  • A Texas Tax Group consultant will need technical questions answered to have a complete picture of what vendors and purchases are of interest.
  • A Texas Tax Group consultant will prepare schedules of the credits we intend to present in our refund request.
  • Texas Tax Group files the refund request with the State:
    • Refunds less than $25,000 may be subject to a Desk Audit. The Comptroller does not assign a field auditor to verify the refund claim.
    • Refunds over $25,000 will be assigned an auditor from a field office closest to your address.
    • Texas Tax Group will start the process of verifying the refund request.
  • Texas Tax Group works with the State to have as much of the refund request approved and processed. Once processed, the Notification of Refund will be sent from Comptroller Processing Department after 4-6 weeks and a refund check sent 7-10 days after the receipt of the refund paperwork.
  • Your Texas Tax Group consultant will provide a custom Tax Workshop to review what was discovered and reasons for the types of credits allowed.
