...ACTG 493, Accounting Cases, Research and Analysis Group Case 1 Memorandum To: Professor Siyi Li From: Group 4 Date: July 5, 2016 Subject: eVade Pays Up (Deloitte Trueblood Case 14-07) I. Case Description and Key Facts eVade is an online retailer that fulfills its orders by shipping its products directly to customers across all 50 states in the U.S. eVade does not have a brick-and-mortar store presence in any state, but does operate distribution centers in various states, including State X. eVade does not collect or remit sales tax to State X. This practice is consistent with eVade’s practice in all 50 States. In recent court rulings, State X has taken the position that operating a distribution center within the state constitutes nexus and thus would subject any company operating a distribution center to collect and remit sales tax on all sales made within the state. As of December 31, 2011, eVade has operated a distribution center within State X for the past five years. Although the company considers the risk of detection to not be probable, eVade estimates total sales tax payable to State X to be $50 million. In addition, eVade estimates that $6 million in interest and $4 million in penalties are also payable to the state. On March 15, 2012, a tax amnesty program was established by the Governor of State X. The program provides that an unregistered taxpayer who voluntarily registers to collect sales tax prospectively will be forgiven...

...Recognized Courses in Accounting/Tax Research and Analysis and Accounting/Business Communications September 3, 2014 The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy requires each candidate to complete a minimum of two semester hours in accounting research and analysis or tax research and analysis from a recognized college or university. The semester hours may be obtained through a discrete course or offered through an integrated approach. If the course content is offered through integration, the college or university must advise the Board which course(s) contain the research and analysis content. Courses identified through integration must dedicate 1 semester hour, or quarter hour equivalent, to research and analysis. Courses used to meet this requirement may not be used to meet the requirement for accounting or business communications described below. Course(s) identified by a university to meet the requirements for research and analysis in accounting or taxation should primarily address the identification, organization, and integration of diverse sources of information such as authoritative literature and pronouncements, to reach a conclusion or make a decision; and should analyze accounting and taxation issues by reviewing information, using empirical data and analytical methods, recognizing data in patterned activities, forecasting, and integrating data. CPAs may be asked to conduct research and analysis when providing attest services, professional accounting...
