State of New York Looking for Ways to Motivate Taxpayers to Engage Back Tax Debt – DWK Tax Group

US-WIDE, US-wide - Aug. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- The NY State Department of Taxation is poised to send the first round of 16,000 notices to delinquent taxpayers who have 60 days to pay the amount due in full or set up a payment agreement to reduce balances owed. Existing balances are slated to rise due to accruing tax penalties and interest.

Article referenced from Taxpro Today the Governor Cuomo of NY had the following to say;
“Our message is simple: tax scofflaws who don’t abide by the same rules as everyone else are not entitled to the same privileges as everyone else,” Cuomo said in a statement. “These worst offenders are putting an unfair burden on the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers who are hardworking, law-abiding taxpayers. By enacting these additional consequences, we’re providing additional incentives for the state to receive the money it is owed and we’re keeping scofflaws off the very roads they refuse to pay their fair share to maintain.”

The new law will no doubt create an additional wave of hardship and anguish. For those whose drivers’ licenses end up being suspended will need to apply for a travel waiver to operate a motor vehicle to and from work only.
