Tax Fraud in Louisiana

Tax fraud is the crime of intentionally providing false information to the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) about your state or federal taxes.

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, tax fraud is providing this false information in order to make a financial gain, while tax evasion is providing this information in order to avoid paying taxes or having a higher tax burden.

Some of the most common types of tax fraud and evasion charges in Louisiana include:

Not filing taxes
Not reporting income
Not maintaining financial business records
Falsifying expenses
Falsifying business information to avoid paying taxes

Louisiana Tax Fraud and Government Investigations Penalties

Government investigations can arise for any number of reasons, but the penalties are often similar. Heavy prison time in federal penitentiaries, millions of dollars in fines and other severe penalties can cripple companies or individuals being investigated by federal or state government agencies.

The penalties for these tax fraud and evasion crimes in Louisiana, and throughout the country, include:

For individuals, the maximum fine is $100,000
For corporations, the maximum fine is $500,000
The maximum sentence is 5 years in prison

Understandably, these are serious penalties that can lead to long-term consequences. That’s why it’s so important to work with an experienced team of white collar defense and tax fraud attorneys if you’ve been accused of these crimes in Louisiana.
