Expertise

With professionals, working in their area of expertise, one plus one equals two; out of their area they will have to look for and hope they can find the correct answer. STRS has one and only one focus-the correct application of sales tax. To that end, we use our knowledge and relationships to identify and return overpaid sales tax on purchases made by our clients.

Our team includes a former Chief Counsel to the PA Department of Revenue, former members of both the Board of Appeals and the Board of Finance and Revenue, and auditors who have honed their skills with the PA Bureau of Audits. Few firms can offer their clients the depth and breadth of experience, knowledge, and relationships that our firm provides.

Our unique perspective on the law and regulation has enabled us to aggressively expand many of the over fifty-five exemptions and exclusions available to business. Within the banking industry alone, STRS has filed over three hundred refund petitions with a success rate in excess of 95% of every dollar we claimed for refund. We are similary successful with our Manufacturing, Medical, and Not For Profit Clients.

There are those in the business, and there are experts in the business. STRS falls into the latter category. Sales Tax is the only thing we do.
