Energy Sales Tax Audit - PA Manufacturers
In Pennsylvania and many other states, manufacturers are eligible for exemption from sales tax on certain portions of their energy purchases. To ensure energy providers bill the tax correctly, the states require manufacturers to file
exemption forms that accurately estimate the exempt portions of their total energy purchases.
Pennsylvania requires manufacturers to verify exempt portions of their total energy purchases precisely - or risk severe penalties. Poorly documented
estimates increase scrutiny by state auditors. Imposed penalties can exceed the
actual taxes owed.
Increasingly, state tax auditors question exemption estimates that they feel are
not well documented, and instruct companies to use an expert third party
consultant to perform the calculation.
