Juneau, AK – Daniel Henry, 61, of Skagway, has been sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison for his convictions on four counts of willful failure to file income tax returns.
According to court documents, Henry, who is the owner and operator of the Skagway Fish Company, a restaurant in Skagway, Alaska, and an elected member of the Municipal Assembly in Skagway, failed to file a federal income tax return for the years 2004-2012. The amount of accumulated taxes Henry would have had to pay during that time period was $600,064.
U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced the sentencing, which took place on Monday, August 1, 2016, before Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy M. Burgess.
“The vast majority of citizens of our great country file a timely and accurate tax return. When someone does not, they not only cheat themselves and their government, but all honest taxpayers,” stated Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon of IRS Criminal Investigation.
Henry was ordered to pay $600,064 in restitution. This matter was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jack Schmidt out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Juneau, Alaska.
U.S. Attorney Loeffler commends the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations for the successful investigation and prosecution of this case.
Henry is scheduled to begin serving his sentence. The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations is committed to fighting for the honest taxpayers by prosecuting tax cheats, thus maintaining a level playing field.
