Bloomberg BNA
Restaurant owners are among the most high profile and common delinquent taxpayers in New York state, according to a Bloomberg BNA analysis of data and media accounts. The state Department of Taxation and Finance publishes a list on its website of the top 250 business taxpayers who have outstanding tax warrants. Of the 250 businesses on the list, at least 40 are restaurants. The restaurants owe a total of at least $19.5 million. The taxes owed range from $349,000 in sales and use taxes owed by a Syracuse restaurant called the Flatiron Grille to $3.7 million in sales and use taxes owed by the 1849 Restaurant in New York City.
