Sales tax audits and use tax audits in California are conducted by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Businesses in certain industries are required to withhold and pay over sales tax and use tax to the State. Failure to property withhold and deposit sales tax and use tax with the CDTFA can lead to additional taxes assessed due to a tax audit. Businesses can potentially be shutdown by the CDTFA. Business owners have the right to representation and can appoint a tax professional to defend them during an audit.
