GOT MILKED?
October 25, 2005
Here's an idea: pretend to pay your employees in milk and skip paying all of your employment taxes. It can't miss. It's foolproof!
Well, maybe not:
A federal court in Boise, Idaho has permanently barred Michael Lee Yohe and two companies, Ag-Mart Services, Inc. and Mancat, Inc., from promoting an alleged employment tax-fraud scheme involving purported in-kind payments of milk to workers to avoid paying federal employment taxes, the Department of Justice announced today. The court order, entered by Judge B. Lynn Winmill of the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, requires the defendants to provide the Justice Department with a list of their dairy-farm customers and those customers’ employees, including names, addresses and Social Security or employer identification numbers.
People actually paid for this advice? Oh well, no use crying over... you know.
