Dealers face tax cheating claim in Kansas auto trade
Burtis Motor Company co owner Ron Schwartz voices anger after a Kansas Legislative Division of Post Audit report shows some vehicle dealers statewide fail to collect and remit state and local sales taxes. Among 12 dealerships reviewed, four small dealers did not pay all taxes, while five larger and three smaller dealers complied. Schwartz notes his store paid over 759000 in sales tax in 2002, highlighting theft concerns as state funds remain tight.
