Tax Fraud

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett visited the Indiana Kentucky Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters (IKORCC) to discuss the rising issue of tax fraud in the construction industry. Tax fraud occurs when companies misclassify workers in order to avoid paying their fair share of federal, state, and local taxes. 

Even though construction employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, untold numbers of injured workers have been fired, left to try to get medical help on their own.
