Food Court Vendor Charged with Criminal Tax Fraud (he should hire SELIG & Associates)


He’s been accused of failing to remit $186,000 in sales tax collected from customers 


The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today announced felony tax fraud and grand larceny charges against Robert V. Gourlay Jr., 56.  As the operator of Fresh Healthy CafĂ©, Gourlay is accused of collecting more than $186,000 in sales tax from his customers and failing to remit that money to New York State, as required by law. He ran the business between August 2010 and February 2018. Gourlay was arrested and arraigned on Wednesday, June 12. "Business owners who disregard their obligation to remit sales tax violate the trust of their customers, deprive the communities where they operate of revenue needed for vital services, and put similar businesses at a competitive disadvantage,” said Executive Deputy Commissioner Andrew Morris.  A criminal complaint is only an accusation; the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty
