Bill Brady leads our State and Local Tax Practice joining us from KPMG LLP where he was the National Life Science and Healthcare Leader for State and Local Taxes as well as the West Area leader for Indirect Taxes in the Americas and a Managing Director for KPMG’s Seattle State and Local Tax practice.

Do you have a question about Washington State’s Tax structure? Are you sure you are in full compliance with all of the State and local Tax laws. Brady & Company is here to assist you and get the answers you are looking for.
Have you been contacted by the Washington State Department of Revenue or notified about a Washington State Business and Occupation tax audit? Do not go on your own. Our assistance has reduced the time it takes to complete most DOR audits as well as reduce the amount assessed. Is your audit coming back with little to no change? Often this means you are entitled to refunds that an auditor has no incentive to give you. Give us a call and discuss your situation with one of our specialists.
We offer information on suggested tax-savings opportunities that clients can implement immediately.
Do you know if your sales and use tax systems are in compliance? Are you collecting enough tax from your customers? Do you have enough proper documentation to support your deductions? Have you taken all of the exemptions you are entitled to? Let one of our professionals discuss with you the opportunities that may be available.
Do you have a reporting responsibility to other States or Local taxing jurisdictions? Bill spent two years working with the Multi-State Tax Commission’s Nexus task force exploring the constitutional limits that are imposed on State and Local taxing jurisdictions before they can force you to collect or pay a tax.
Are you overpaying your taxes? Our experience says you are. With all of the exemptions, deductions and various laws out there, it is our experience that most companies do not have the resources or time available to be in 100% compliance. If your turn-over in your A/P group is high, your overpayments tend to be high as well. Let us take a look at your purchases and Business and Occupation tax reporting and see if we can get you a refund. Often we can perform this service on a contingent basis. If we identify exposure, we will advise you not to file a refund claim and our fee is nothing.
