5 Agenda 2 Conduct of audits Refunds Avoiding audits Defending employment service audits
6 Conduct of Audit 3 New method in Ohio for selection of audit candidates: Less based on auditor initiation Less based on geographic location Less based on recurring audits
7 Conduct of Audit 4 Selection of audit candidates Department s in-house software is more analytical and based on public sources, e.g. Dun & Bradstreet. Department evaluates other filings, e.g. withholding returns, especially for detecting non-filing of consumer use tax returns.
8 Conduct of Audit 5 How candidates are selected for Multistate Tax Commission audits.
9 Conduct of Audit 6 Widely-used methods for selecting audits Audits of other taxpayers; Filing with agencies, e.g. Federal Aviation Administration for aircraft hangered in Ohio; Customs filings; and Contracts with state agencies.
10 Conduct of Audit 7 Audit Software Replacing OFAST with BRUTUS Used in Pennsylvania and other states. Current audits are still being conducted using OFAST.
11 Conduct of Audit 8 Audit software New software will be better at isolating tax implications of individual items for samples. New software will be better at isolating interest.
12 Conduct of Audit 9 Penalty History of penalty in Ohio Four phases Mandatory addition of penalty and taxpayer was required to seek remission. After a statutory change, the addition of penalty became permissive rather than mandatory. Thereafter, the penalty worksheet was employed-never promulgated as a rule. Current system.
13 Conduct of Audit 10 Penalty Current system Statute makes addition of penalty permissive and not mandatory. Compare provisions of R.C for addition of penalty versus interest: A penalty may be added to every amount assessed. All assessments shall include preassessment interest. Emphasis added.
14 Conduct of Audit 11 Penalty Under the current system, penalty is routinely added. Tax Department decides whether to remove and not whether to impose penalty.
15 Conduct of Audit 12 Penalty Decision is not left to the auditor. Department is trying to become more uniform in the treatment of penalty by having a group of senior staff look at penalties: the Gang of Five.
16 Conduct of Audit 13 Penalty The treatment of penalty is not supposed to be mechanical, even if the compliance meets an acceptable percentage but if consistently underpaying, could still have penalty.
17 Conduct of Audit 14 Penalty Taxpayer/representative should ask for penalty remission before assessment. If penalty is not removed, can appeal that decision to Tax Appeals Division.
18 Conduct of Audit 15 Penalty It appears that if the tax agents expect an appeal, the penalty will be left intact and the taxpayer must seek removal of the penalty at Tax Appeals Division.
19 Conduct of Audit 16 Penalty Current penalty system lacks transparency a black box. Traditionally, the Tax Commissioner has been accorded wide deference in determination to add and not remove penalty.
20 Conduct of Audit 17 Penalty Because the provision for penalty is not transparent and the file normally does not explain any basis for the decision to impose penalty, perhaps the Board of Tax Appeals and courts will be more inclined to consider whether the penalty is appropriate.
21 Conduct of Audit 18 Assessments Vital that the audit does not result in an assessment that is overlooked. Department may use a different address for assessment than was used to contact the taxpayer during audit.
22 Conduct of Audit 19 Assessments If assessment is not contested, then amount is certified. More difficult to deal with the potential liability after certification because the Ohio Attorney General and perhaps outside debt collector is involved.
23 Conduct of Audit 20 Assessments Once certified, collection fees that exceed 10% are added. These fees are used to fund the Attorney General s office!
24 Conduct of Audit 21 Assessments In Thompson v. General Revenue Corporation, Southern District Ohio No. 2:16-cv-734, 2017 WL , *7 (August 2, 2017), Federal District Court Judge Smith found that [R.C.] does not authorize the Attorney General to charge an unlimited and unreviewable amount of collection costs and to seek remittance for those costs from the debtor.
25 Conduct of Audit 22 Assessments The defendant s motion in Thompson to certify the decision for interlocutory appeal is pending.
26 Refunds 23 Ohio Tax Department Policy: See the Tax Commissioner s Rule, Ohio Adm. Code Consistent with what seems like a national trend toward toughening the standards for refunds. Must prove that tax was actually paid.
27 Refunds 24 Tax agencies pet peeves: Over-inclusive refund claims with insufficient analysis before filing. Dealing with refunds that will pose financial hardships to counties because of the size of refund.
28 Refunds 25 Tax agencies pet peeves: Refund claims that do not tick and tie. Providing only spreadsheets rather than documentation. Providing extensive documentation that is not tied to individual transactions.
29 Refunds 26 Concerns of taxpayers: Process takes too long. Can be difficult to determine why the claims are being denied. Taxpayer must overcome skepticism even on obvious issues.
30 Refunds 27 Seeking refunds related to multiple points of usage (MPUs). See enclosed MPU worksheet. Note also that unused seat licenses are taxed as Ohio licenses. Worksheet reflects the concern that tax is not being paid in any state.
31 Refunds 28 The refund process affirms the conclusion expressed by the late Paul Frankel that the three most important rules of state and local taxation are: Don t pay! Don t pay! Don t pay!
32 Avoiding Assessments 29 Filing consumer use tax returns Surprising how often taxpayers that file other returns like withholding or sales tax, fail to register for and file consumer use tax returns. Filing consumers use tax returns results in shortened period of limitations. Department of Taxation uses failure to file use tax returns as basis for imposing penalty.
33 Avoiding Assessments 30 Registering for consumer use tax or other taxes when activities have occurred in the state for some time- One question that arises frequently: If I register with a state, will that simply trigger an audit for prior periods?
34 Avoiding Assessments 31 Amnesties Ohio has an amnesty No penalties and half of the interest are forgiven. Taxes due on May 1, 2017 and not contacted by Department of Taxation. Amnesty period from January 1, 2018 through February 15, Includes sales and use taxes. Go to OhioTaxAmnesty.gov
35 Avoiding Assessments 32 Amnesties Other states The Council on State Taxation website has a list of pending amnesties: COST.org Connecticut, Rhode Island and Texas are having or will have amnesties.
36 Avoiding Assessments Voluntary disclosure agreements Voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs) generally available only if the taxpayer has not previously been contacted--but look at the requirements for an individual state. VDAs always available and not just applicable to certain periods like amnesties. A voluntary disclosure may present better terms than the amnesty. 33
37 Avoiding Assessments 34 Voluntary disclosure agreements Be careful: if one applies for a VDA and it is rejected, then the taxpayer arguably is subject to full look-back to prior periods. What do states actually do when a taxpayer is denied VDA status?
38 Avoiding Assessments 35 Multistate agreements MTC Multistate Voluntary Disclosure Program Can work with multiple states using MTC as an intermediary. See MTC.gov
39 Avoiding Assessments 36 Special MTC project Report of the Multistate Tax Commission s National Nexus Program (NNP)
40 Avoiding Assessments 37 U.S. Supreme Court accepted cert. in Wayfair: How does the acceptance of the Wayfair case affect the decisions whether to file voluntary disclosures especially for remote sellers? Would the states apply a state-favorable decision in Wayfair retroactively?
41 Avoiding Assessments 38 Inconsistent sourcing determinations by multiple states. Will the MTC assist taxpayers by mediating in situations where transactions are being sourced to multiple states?
42 Avoiding Assessments 39 Alternatives to audits Managed audit and participatory audits designed to streamline the audit process. Alternatives take penalty off the table. Under Ohio Tax Department audit guidelines, managed and participatory audits are limited to when the taxpayer was previously audited.
43 Defending employment service tax audits Permanent placement exemption: 40 Assigning an employee on a permanent basis means assigning the employee with an indefinite end date, not as a substitute for a current employee who is on leave and not to meet seasonal needs, or short term workload conditions. H.R. Options, Inc. v. Zaino, 100 Ohio St. 3d 373, 2004-Ohio-1 21.
44 Defending employment service tax audits 41 Permanent placement Contract must extend for a least one year. Contract need not be in writing but always preferable to have a writing. Contract need not specify that employees will be permanently assigned.
45 Defending employment service tax audits 42 Permanent placement If it is not spelled out in the contract, need testimony that parties intended the workers to be permanently assigned. Not enough that in fact workers ultimately did stay for a long time. Workers can be permanently assigned if in fact they do not stay for a long time especially when the job is such that there is high attrition.
46 Defending employment service tax audits 43 Permanent placement Do not confuse one-year test with permanent placement a contract for one year with each worker assigned for one year would not be indefinite. What about where job is permanent but workers turn over?
47 Defending employment service tax audits Permanent placement 44 Recent cases have undermined audit positions of the Tax Department: ACCEL, Inc. v. Testa, Slip Opinion No Ohio- 8798, decided December 6, 2017; and A.M. Castle & Company v. Testa, BTA No , March 9, 2015; appeal to the Supreme Court, Case No ; dismissed on application of Appellant Tax Commissioner on February 18, 2016.
48 Defending employment service tax audits Permanent placement 45 Cases reject the argument that the absence of magic language in the agreement about permanent placement is fatal. While contract terms remain important, Court seems more interested in what actual practice is compared with language. Remains important to remember that it is the intention of the parties upon contracting or engaging workers and not what actually transpires.
49 Defending employment service tax audits Permanent placement 46 The Ohio BTA and Supreme Court have not embraced the idea that a fluctuation of the numbers of workers needed means that the workers are not permanent. In Accel, the Court was influenced by the taxpayer s practice of cutting hours and not employees when reduction in hours were needed.
50 Defending employment service tax audits Permanent placement It is a good fact when the workers are not assigned to another customer when the customer does not have a need that day. 47 The Court s conclusion could have been different if the workers were assigned by their employer to other customers on days when the workers were not assigned to the customer.
51 Refund Checklist Multiple Points of Usage ( ) The following documents must be supplied when a Multiple Points of Usage (MPU) claim is filed. 1. A completed Application for Sales/Use Tax Refund (Ohio form STAR). The original and one copy of the STAR must be provided. Only one set of back-up documents is needed. 2.

The spreadsheet must list every invoice separately and the total should equal the amount requested on the refund application. Note: To expedite the refund process you may also supply the spreadsheet on a disc for claims containing less the 25 invoices, but it is not required O 6.
