In the past month, there have been two separate, apparently unrelated developments relating to the enforcement of New York State revenue laws. First, on May 29, Governor Pataki signed into law a broad tax amnesty program. Second, on June 10, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau announced that his office was stepping up enforcement of sales tax evasion on big ticket items, as evidenced by the indictment of former Tyco Industries CEO Dennis Kozlowski for allegedly evading sales tax on over $13 million of artwork. Both of these endeavors are designed to increase tax collections in order to address burgeoning budget deficits facing the city and state, without imposing new or increased taxes.
