Tax Cheats Caught By New Division
KENTUCKY...
The newly created Division of Special Investigations in the Kentucky Department of Revenue has netted 50 criminal indictments in its first year of operation. Finance Secretary Jonathan Miller praised the investigators for having done "an outstanding job" of making sure Kentuckians are paying their taxes. The investigators have identified and stopped more than $300,000 in fraudulent tax refunds, and their work has resulted in more than $300,000 in restitution being paid to the state. Miller said the state government loses millions of dollars in tax revenues each year because of residents who don't follow the law. The special investigations unit was created by lawmakers to identify those residents and make them pay.
