I own a small restaurant in Prince William County and was completely unaware of the new local county-level sales tax obligations after relocating from New York. My longtime CPA and I had been remitting 100% of collected sales taxes to the Virginia tax department, not realizing that some of it was sup...posed to go to the County. As a result, my business was audited and faced a significant tax bill, penalties, and interest from the County. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know how to fix the issue. I’m so glad I reached out to Attorney Sammy Kim. Her expertise in both local and state-level tax compliance gave me confidence from the very beginning. Sammy took charge of my case with a clear, detailed strategy. She resolved the County audit issue first by negotiating the penalty abatement and reducing the amount owed. Then she went above and beyond—she reviewed our entire sales tax history, discovered we had overpaid state taxes due to reporting errors by the CPA, and filed over two years’ worth of amended monthly sales tax returns with the Virginia Department of Taxation. Thanks to her work, we received almost $39,000 in refunds from the Virginia Tax within just a few months! I expected the case to drag into next year, but the process was surprisingly fast and smooth. This refund lifted a huge financial burden from my small business. I’m still shocked by how efficiently everything was handled. Sammy treated my case like it mattered, and her attention to detail and persistence made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful and relieved. Thanks, Sammy!
