Overpayment Technology
Get even.
Our technology quickly analyzes large sets of data from disparate payment systems to identify and recover every tax overpayment.
Statement credits and duplicate payments would be missed in just a tax and jurisdiction review. Our technology catches them and puts every overpayment back on your books.
Producing Impactful Results. apexanalytix tax professionals found that the US operations of a Global 2000 company repeatedly paid both sales and use taxes on the same purchase transactions. We filed a successful refund claim for approximately $3 million in overpaid taxes.
Benefit from expertise and technology to help you identify and recover overpayments.
Two distinct advantages set apexanalytix apart from other global tax services providers. First, we’ve built our own team of highly experienced professionals. That stands us in stark contrast to the many providers who rely on armies of temp workers or junior personnel to conduct tax reviews.
Second, our team is armed with apexanalytix firststrike®, a software program that can quickly analyze large volumes of data from disparate payment systems and platforms. We simply find more and recover more in less time. We offer the same technology as licensed software – allowing you to continuously monitor disbursements and protect against future tax overpayments.
This winning combination of experience and technology-enabled analysis means better-informed advice and air-tight claims.
