Ultimate Cleaning Boss Fails to Pay $200k in Payroll Taxes

A Wisconsin business owner is facing the consequences of his actions after pleading guilty to failing to pay over $200,000 in payroll taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Kurt Van Voorhis, 52, of Hilbert, Wisconsin, appeared in federal court in Green Bay and admitted to withholding federal payroll taxes from employees of Ultimate Cleaning Limited, a commercial cleaning business he manages and operates in Appleton, Wisconsin. Van Voorhis failed to pay over the taxes from January 2012 through June 2016 and also neglected to file quarterly payroll tax returns during the same time period.

Van Voorhis’ actions have put him at risk of up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. On top of these penalties, he will also be required to pay the unpaid taxes. The judge has scheduled Van Voorhis’ sentencing for November 2, 2018.

The investigation into Van Voorhis’ actions was conducted by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Matthew L. Jacobs.

This case highlights the importance of adhering to tax laws and regulations. Failing to pay payroll taxes not only affects the business itself but also has a ripple effect on the employees and the community.

As the investigation and subsequent prosecution demonstrate, no one is above the law. Van Voorhis’ actions will have consequences, and he will face the repercussions of his decisions.
