The owners of a concrete company in California have been charged with 15 felony charges of payroll tax evasion and workers' compensation insurance fraud. The charges are based on allegations that the company intentionally under reported wages by disguising the funds as payments made to independent contractors. This, in turn, illegally reduced the company's state payroll tax and workers' compensation expenses. If found guilty, the company would owe $230,000 in back taxes.
