Tax Fraud

Ohio carpenters & their families will rally outside of the Columbus City Hall on Monday, April 15^th from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Lawmakers, contractors, and construction workers in Indianapolis are preparing for Days of Action events to bring attention to the growing problem of tax fraud in the construction industry.

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.
