Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Responsibility of workers

As a general rule, so long as you're not involved in the non-payment at some level (i.e. not a conspirator) the answer is no. However, depending on the type(s) of tax(es) at issue, and on your role in the company (assuming they are corporate taxes at issue), you may have some liability either criminally or civilly. You should also be aware that there are some reward programs that offer cash incentives for informing on tax avoiders/cheaters; you can learn more about this last issue on the Web.
