Also known as Reverse Sales and Use Tax Audits, our Review helps businesses recover overpaid sales and use taxes.
Refund Review Basics
Businesses often make purchases from vendors across the country. Whether these purchases are for materials, products, goods, utilities, or even services, it can be expected that errors in sales and use tax payments occur.
Leyton’s Refund Reviews (also known as Reverse Sales & Use Tax Audit) services help businesses reclaim these overpaid sales & use tax payments by filing for refunds in the states where these overpayments have occurred.

How it helps
A Sales & Use Tax Refund Review helps businesses recover overpaid taxes, strengthen compliance, and reduce future tax risk. Our experts identify refund opportunities while helping improve your tax processes for long-term savings.
Our Approach
From the initial assessment through claim submission and state representation, our SALT specialists manage every step to help maximize your refund opportunity while reducing your administrative burden.
We review your business activities, transactions, and historical sales and use tax filings to identify potential overpayments and areas of concern.
Our SALT specialists evaluate your tax positions, supporting documentation, and state-specific regulations to determine whether refund opportunities exist.
If a refund is warranted, we prepare the required documentation, supporting schedules, and state-specific filings to maximize the likelihood of a successful claim.
We manage communications with the taxing authorities throughout the review process, responding to inquiries and supporting your claim until it is resolved.

“I cannot state how much Brian Ess and Leyton helped my business. We had a very unique tax situation that was hard to gauge by multiple tax advisors. We knew we had an issue that had to be solved and the brevity of the situation was a very large number for our company to absorb. Brian and his team were able to guide us through and negotiate on our behalf with the state. Their navigation was so much better than we could have hoped for. We settled for something like pennies on the dollar. I would highly recommend Brian and Leyton to help anyone out with local state tax guidance. Thank you Brian I’d kiss you if l could!”
