Business Tax Lawyer New York : Defense Against Alleged Tax Fraud for a CEO



A construction company CEO in New York found himself unexpectedly accused of issuing fraudulent tax invoices amounting to nearly $1 million. 

 

Despite carrying out his duties diligently, he was suddenly notified that the Internal Revenue Service had filed a complaint alleging fabricated transactions and violations under New York tax law. 

 

Shocked and blindsided, the CEO contacted our team for immediate legal assistance.

1. Business Tax Lawyer New York: Initial Case Assessment and Legal Framework


As experienced counsel in defending tax-related criminal investigations, our business tax lawyer team conducted a detailed examination of the allegations, the company’s accounting structure, and the transaction history. 

 

What initially appeared to be a serious criminal exposure was ultimately disproven through systematic evidence submission, procedural arguments, and a comprehensive demonstration that all transactions were legitimate and properly documented. 

 

Ultimately, the police accepted the defense, and the matter concluded with a “no-charges filed” disposition.

 

Business Tax Lawyer New York: Initial Case Assessment and Legal Framework

At the outset, the defense team evaluated the allegations within the framework of New York Tax Law and federal obligations concerning invoice accuracy and transaction verification. 

 

This early assessment allowed us to identify procedural weaknesses and factual inconsistencies in the government’s complaint.

 



Understanding the Basis of the Accusation


The tax authorities asserted that the CEO had issued fabricated invoices for nonexistent transactions. 

 

However, no preliminary audit or field investigation had verified these claims, which enabled the defense to challenge the credibility of the allegation.

 

A business tax lawyer must analyze whether alleged “sham transactions” have factual grounding. 

 

In this case, the financial records, vendor communications, and payment trails showed consistent and lawful business practices.



2. Business Tax Lawyer New York: Verification of Real Transactions and Supporting Evidence


Our legal team proceeded to gather proof that the questioned transactions were legitimate and supported by verifiable documentation, including bank statements, contracts, and delivery confirmations.

 

We assembled and submitted complete transactional data(purchase orders, bank transfers, receipts, and internal accounting logs) demonstrating that every invoice had a corresponding commercial activity.

 

Each contract related to the disputed transactions was authenticated and matched against bank activity logs. 

 

This cross-validation eliminated any basis for suggesting that the invoices were fabricated.

 



3. Business Tax Lawyer New York: Procedural Compliance and IRS Challenge


A critical part of the defense was demonstrating that the CEO had complied with all required tax and reporting obligations and that the government’s filing lacked procedural adherence.

 

We highlighted that all tax filings, payments, and documentary submissions were timely and accurately completed, contradicting the narrative that false invoices were intentionally created.



Challenging Irregularities in the Government’s Filing


The investigative file disclosed several procedural flaws: lack of proper notice, absence of a preliminary audit, and misinterpretation of bulk transaction summaries.

 

These deficiencies raised concerns about the legitimacy of the complaint itself.

Business Tax Lawyer New York: Case Resolution and Strategic Outcome

 

Through the combination of evidence and procedural arguments, our team successfully persuaded the police and investigative authorities that the accusation was unfounded.

 

Once presented with clear documentation establishing that every transaction was real, investigators determined that the suspicion of fraudulent invoices could not be sustained.

 

Authorities accepted all defense submissions and concluded that the referral by the tax authorities was improper. 

 

The case ended with a formal “no further action” ruling, protecting the CEO from criminal exposure and reputational harm.
