Exclusive Workshop for Restaurant Owners & Managers (DATE TBD)
How to Avoid a Costly Sales Tax Audit
Running a successful restaurant is hard enough, don’t let a sales tax audit catch you off guard. In this exclusive, in-person workshop, you’ll learn exactly how California auditors scrutinize your records, reconcile your sales, and uncover tax discrepancies.
What You’ll Learn:
Point-of-Sale Reporting Pitfalls
Understand how POS entry errors, like mislabeling items, incorrect pricing, or mishandling gratuities, can raise red flags for auditors.
To-Go vs. Dine-In Tax Differences
Learn how tax rates vary between order types and how auditors compare your gross sales to your 1099-K and bank deposits.
Documentation & Recordkeeping Best Practices
Get a clear breakdown of what auditors want to see, from alcohol sales tracking to discount logs, and how to keep airtight records.
Pre-Audit Checklist: What to Prepare
Know what the CDTFA will request: sales tax returns, POS summaries, vendor invoices, and more. Learn how to find and fix discrepancies before they become liabilities.
