Sales and Use Tax Recovery Services
The trucking industry is under attack by many states. The states continue to promulgate business tax regulations that are notoriously confusing and inconsistent for the transportation industry. Trucking companies are losing profits by not staying current with the diverse and constantly changing sales and use tax regulations. The recent economic climate, as well as the number of states operating at record deficits, means states are increasing efforts to bring in much needed revenue. Most states have a three to four year statute, so if you do not act proactively, with every passing month your company is losing profits forever.

To ensure that you benefit from future tax savings, National Fleet Services provides tax consulting services to minimize future tax exposures by creating and implementing best practices.
