Construction
Industry Tax Fraud
What is Construction Industry Tax Fraud?
YOUR TAX DOLLARS BUILD BRIDGES AND SCHOOLS. THEY HELP PAY FOR OUR PUBLIC SAFETY.
WERE YOU AWARE?
AT LEAST ONE IN FIVE CONTRACTORS COMMIT TAX FRAUD.
Some corrupt contractors pay workers off the books or classify them as independent contractors when they clearly shouldn’t. This allows them to evade state, local, and federal taxes, so they can illegally lower their labor costs and underbid law-abiding competitors.
IT’S INTENTIONAL.
Frequently, corrupt contractors use labor brokers who often break the law, to shield themselves from accountability.
IT’S NOT SMALL.
Construction contractor tax fraud robs our governments out of billions in tax revenues. No job site is immune. No state is immune.
