Excise taxpayers contend with complex taxing regimes that require detailed reporting. Dependent upon the specific tax, the manufacturer, importer, wholesaler or other respective company must produce accurate calculations and supporting documentation while interpreting often dated guidance and apply it to increasingly challenging data environments. As a result, companies often overpay excise taxes and rely on inefficient compliance processes (e.g., reconciliations, return preparation). Over the past ten years, PwC’s federal and state excise tax professionals have assisted taxpayers in obtaining significant excise tax savings through both refunds and improved compliance processes.
For these companies, PwC can help:
implement an integrated excise tax compliance system
by providing technical memoranda or opinions
by defending them while under audit and represent them during appeals
support them during mergers/acquisitions
with registrations and permits
by performing compliance services
reduce risk, and potentially recover overpayments in a complex federal and state excise tax landscape.
Our full-service excise tax consulting capability comes from combining the tax technical depth of our Washington National Tax Services professionals, automation specialization of PwC Advisory and the practical experience of our dedicated excise tax team members. Over the past ten years, PwC’s federal and state excise tax professionals have assisted taxpayers in obtaining significant excise tax refunds.
