Gross Receipts Tax Audits

Recover Underreported Taxes Owed to Your Jurisdiction.

Spend Cubes helps cities, counties, towns, villages and other local government entities identify and recover underreported or incorrectly remitted gross receipts and utility-related taxes owed by service providers operating within their jurisdiction.

These taxes represent direct revenue to the municipality, yet many jurisdictions rely solely on self-reporting by providers—creating long-standing underpayments that often go undetected. Our audits ensure your jurisdiction receives every dollar it is legally entitled to.
