Manufacturing Sales & Use Tax Audits

Recover Overpaid Sales & Use Taxes. Reduce Future Exposure.

Spend Cubes provides specialized sales and use tax audits for manufacturers operating in the United States.

We identify overpaid taxes on exempt manufacturing equipment, utilities, repair parts, and inputs, while also correcting errors to prevent future overpayments and compliance risk. Sales and use tax rules for manufacturing vary widely by state and are frequently misapplied—often resulting in years of silent overpayment.
