The problem
Over-withholding is invisible: the return was filed and the tax paid, so nobody looks again. Treaty benefits go unclaimed, rules change, and the five-year refund window quietly closes. It is either the vendor’s money (a relationship issue) or, where you grossed up, your own cost.
“Filed. Paid. Forgotten. And refundable for five years.”
What FlowCount does
Turn over-withholding findings (treaty not applied, inbound freight, pre-amendment related-party rate, out-of-scope air tickets) into filed refund claims.
