Friday, June 17, 2005 Non-Defense Contractors Owe $3 Billion+ in Taxes Would any of us regular citizens get away w/this?: Thousands of federal contractors working for civilian government agencies together owe more than $3 billion in unpaid taxes, according to a report to be released today by a Senate subcommittee. Of the roughly 33,000 contractors, about 50 cases closely examined by auditors with the Government Accountability Office involved "abusive and potentially criminal activity." Even so, the contractors still got paid. |
