North Carolina has started auditing companies for sales tax it says is owed on postage.
The audits, now in the administrative hearing stage, involve small local co-op mailers that billed clients for postage, according to Melanie C. Hill, a tax specialist with DL&A Price Tax Consulting Group LLC, Greenville, SC.
Hill is helping four co-op clients fight the tax. She wouldn’t name the clients, but noted that the total sum exceeds $100,000 for all four, she said in an interview during the Direct Marketing Association’s Government Affairs conference.
The measure also affects printers and lettershops that acquire postage for clients as a service even when that is done at cost
