AOC Gets CAUGHT Not Paying Taxes
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who represents New York in the United States House of Representatives, has been fined by the state of New York for evading tax warrants that were issued against the company she formerly owned five years ago.
According to a report in the Washington Examiner, the state issued a tax warrant against Brook Avenue Press, a publishing business geared toward children that Ocasio-Cortez created in 2012. The warrant sought to recover $1,618 in outstanding corporate taxes from Brook Avenue Press. As a result of the representative not paying the taxes, the cost of the tax warrant has escalated by 52 percent, coming in at $2,461.
Per the New York Department of Taxation and Finance, tax warrants are issued by the state of New York to firms who “fail to timely address” their debt and do not react to their notices, and the state will proceed with “additional collection action” if the businesses do not comply.
