Voluntary Disclosure and Registration
Ryan's voluntary disclosure and registration process entails understanding
our client's fact pattern and negotiating the most favorable tax
settlement with one or multiple tax jurisdictions. We have
assisted numerous clients, from Fortune 1000 to small mid-cap
companies, in negotiating tax settlements. We have handled negotiations involving
the following taxes:
- Excise
- Franchise
- Fuels
- Gross receipts
- Income
- Property
- Sales and use
- Telecommunications
- Unclaimed property
- Value-Added
Every client receives a customized approach that ensures optimal
results in the most efficient manner. Our goal
is to assist each of our clients in registering and settling past
taxes (if applicable) and paying the minimal amount required under
each jurisdiction's Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (VDA) program. Often
we are able to negotiate
prospective agreements when our client's fact pattern presents
the opportunity.
Services Provided:
As part of any engagement with clients, we first analyze all of
the facts attributed to the business and the activities taking
place in a respective jurisdiction. We then work with our
client to determine potential exposure and possible methods to
minimize that exposure. This process might entail contacting customers to
determine their accrual policies relating to self-imposition of
tax, current audit status, and possible back billing of taxes.
We customize each client work plan to maximize value to the client.
Our project work plan allows
us to simultaneously interact with multiple jurisdictions so we can efficiently
complete the project. In all instances, the
client receives a closing agreement or a signed
agreement with each tax jurisdiction.
Expertise:
Our tax experts have significant experience
assisting corporations negotiate
voluntary disclosure agreements with the most favorable
results possible.
We have experts in each tax specialty area who have
assisted clients with VDAs in hundreds of jurisdictions.
We can assist clients with single or multiple negotiation
requirements, involving one or multiple tax issues. Our team
members have years of experience and maintain constant
contact with the tax jurisdictions to ensure the most up-to-date
information is available. We specialize in
reviewing the unique facts relating to each client in order
to negotiate the most favorable terms possible.
