Tax Recovery / Refund Service

Lighten your load. OTS’ tax specialists know trucking industry taxes, both above and below the critical AGI line.

We know the law, and we know the trucking industry. As a result, more than 95 percent of the carriers and operators who look to OTS for recovery and planning help realize a reduction in their tax obligations.

OTS’ tax recovery services include:

  • A thorough review of all tax-related documents, not just your tax returns
  • Tax planning to prevent future overpayments

  • Processing of road tax refund claims
  • Sales tax refund requests from vendors
  • State and local income and franchise tax refunds
  • Reefer Fuel Refunds, Idle Time Refunds, and PTO (Power Take Off) Refunds

Our industry-targeted tax planning initiatives also identify potential tax savings related to:

  • Spin-offs
  • Mergers
  • Acquisitions
  • Reorganizations
