Indiana: Illegal Drug Sales Require Sales Tax
- Jun 5, 2012 | Susan McLain
Former Indiana specialty store owner Keith M. Bilz is facing lots of charges in how he did business at the Raq Shaq, according to the Madison Courier. Not only is he charged with selling controlled substances, but “Prosecutors filed new charges…alleging he failed to pay sales tax from illegal drug sales.”
From July 2011 to November 2011, Bilz allegedly “…did not give the proper amount of sales tax to the state Department of Revenue.” According to the report, “Indiana Code states that store owners must collect sales tax on all purchases made at a business and pay the tax to the state Department of Revenue.”
