Audits

This table summarizes the audits completed in the last two fiscal years by tax program.  In 2018/2019, several large taxpayers were audited, resulting in a decreased number of audits. In addition, audits found several taxpayers had overstated their tax liability, resulting in a smaller net tax assessment for the 2017/2018 fiscal year.
