Complete Sales and Use Tax Resource

Experience With Results
Since 1980 Associated Sales Tax Consultants (ASTC) has represented over 4000 clients, from sole proprietors to multinational corporations, including virtually every type of business that is subject to sales or use tax.  Whether you're looking for help with sales tax audit defense and appeals, claims for refund, compliance issues, exposure analysis, or aircraft and vessel exemptions, our specialists will provide the expertise you need.

Presence
In addition to serving thousands of clients, ASTC has successfully lobbied to pass legislation; filed lawsuits to gain access to state-held taxpayer records; and been instrumental in establishing the California Taxpayer Bill of Rights.  Our principals have authored dozens of industry related articles and two books on sales and use tax matters:  the Multistate Guide to Sales and Use Tax Audits and the Multistate Guide to Sales and Use Taxation:  Construction Industry .  Both books are published by CCH, Inc. and updated annually.

Consultants
Most of our consultants are former sales and use tax auditors, supervisors, and/or audit reviewers.  Our inside knowledge of the taxing agency's policies and procedures serves to offset the auditor's usual advantage in interpreting and applying the sales and use tax laws and regulations.

Guarantee
ASTC is so confident that we can save you money, we will take any qualifying tax audit on a contingency basis guaranteeing you will pay us nothing unless, and until, we save you money. In addition, if you enlist in our Aircraft and Vessel Transaction Analysis Program, we will guarantee you will legally avoid sales and use tax on your purchase of an aircraft or vessel...Is anyone else offering this guarantee?
