Bozo Tax Tip #5: Sales Tax is an Unnecessary Expense

Imagine you are running a business.  Times are tough and you need to make some serious cuts in expenses to stay afloat.  Or perhaps you are just greedy.  In any case, let’s suppose you neglect to pay your payroll tax.  Well,  even many Bozos know that neglecting to pay your Federal payroll taxes is the quickest possible trip to ClubFed for a tax crime.  So, no, that is not what today’s Bozo allegedly did.

Mr. Steven Scali was arrested  recently for grand larceny in Happauge, NY, (as originally reported on HapauugePatch).  Apparently, he was wanted for failure to pay $50,000 in sales tax to the state of NY.  If convicted, he will be facing a very possible stay at SingSing.

Yes, if you are collecting sales tax, you must remit said sales tax to the taxing authority.  If you do not, you are committing a Bozo act. Just like with payroll taxes, the government always goes after people taking “their” money.
