CDTFA Markup Audits Can Be Devastating for California Businesses

A CDTFA markup audit can lead to massive tax assessments if you don’t challenge their assumptions. The CDTFA estimates your sales using “industry average” markup percentages, which are often inaccurate and unfair.

We defend California businesses from unfair CDTFA sales tax audits—challenging flawed markup calculations, proving actual sales data, and reducing or eliminating inflated tax bills.

Win with data, not averages. We recently moved a client’s CDTFA ratio from 61% to 70% and are documenting a 75–79% weighted card rate using their own records. If your audit feels “one‑size‑fits‑all,” we can help.

Struggling with a CDTFA sales tax audit? The credit‑card ratio (card vs. cash
)
can make or break your case. If CDTFA used old or distant “comparable” stores, your sales may be overstated.

We build a store‑specific ratio from your merchant 1099‑K, Clover tender detail, and bank deposits—then negotiate.
