Tax Audit & Controversy
Facing a West Virginia Sales Tax Audit?
A sales or use tax audit can quickly become a significant financial and legal issue for a business. Lauffer Law represents West Virginia businesses throughout the audit and dispute process—from responding to information requests and analyzing proposed liabilities to challenging assessments and pursuing administrative or judicial remedies when appropriate.
As both a West Virginia attorney and Certified Public Accountant, Zachary Lauffer can evaluate the underlying tax and accounting issues while also representing clients through the legal process.
A Broader Perspective
When legal decisions have financial consequences.
Legal issues rarely exist in isolation. A business transaction may create tax consequences. A sales tax audit may involve accounting records, statutory interpretation, and legal advocacy. An estate plan may affect property ownership. A Medicaid strategy may involve financial assets, real estate, and tax considerations.
As both a West Virginia attorney and Certified Public Accountant, Zachary Lauffer brings both perspectives to the table—looking beyond the immediate document, transaction, or dispute to understand the broader picture.
