The appointment of a new state tax commissioner has caused New York taxing authorities to become increasingly strict when imposing sales tax liability. Government taxing authorities are more proactive than ever before, investigating businesses for tax fraud or failure to pay sales taxes. In addition to proactive tax collection, the government is also bringing more prosecutions—criminal and civil—related to sales tax delinquencies.
Avoid sales tax penalties. Contact the Law Offices of Hugh Janow, in Pearl River, New York, and schedule a consultation to discuss your rights and options.
State sales tax penalties, late payment fees, and potentially criminal penalties may be pursued against businesses for conduct such as:
- Failure to pay state sales taxes
- Failure to pay taxes in full (reporting substantially reduced amounts)
- Fraud associated with sales tax payment and reporting (reporting substantially reduced amounts)
- Using sales taxes to operate your business
