Business Assets Seized - Moments in Sports
For Immediate Release
January 25, 2010
(Topeka) -- This morning, the Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR), Shawnee County Sheriff and ABC Agents executed tax warrants filed in Shawnee County and Johnson County District Courts. The department seized the business assets of Moments in Sports owned by Brian J Taylor, located at 1801 SW Wanamaker Rd, Topeka, Kansas and 11297 W 95th Street, Overland Park, Kansas for nonpayment of state Sales and Withholding tax.
All known bank accounts, on-site cash, business inventory, and personal property assets belonging to the owner were seized and the business was sealed closed.
Warrant execution occurs when all other collection attempts, including multiple letters, telephone calls, letters of impending legal action, tax liens filed with the District Court of domicile to secure the debt, previous bank levies and on-site till taps are executed to bring the taxpayer into compliance have been exhausted. After several unsuccessful collection attempts, or lack of response from the taxpayer, the Department is forced to take aggressive warrant execution action of seizing assets, which in this instance resulted in the business being closed.
The KDOR's standard practice is to continually encourage delinquent taxpayers, who are not lawfully filing or paying taxes (sales, income etc.), to voluntarily enter into a repayment agreements. When multiple collection attempts fail the Department is forced to protect the interests of the State and employ civil actions aimed at encouraging the taxpayers to comply, such as a bank levy, a till tap, or ultimately seizure of assets.
