Crimes Involving Counterfeit Tax Stamps
NYC White Collar Criminal Lawyer
In the state of New York, a tax stamp is used to collect taxes on specific
items such as alcoholic drinks, medication, drugs, tobacco, cigarettes,
playing cards and firearm registration, just to name a few. Due to the
fact that these stamps are government issued, creating a falsified tax
stamp is considered a serious offense to New York City law.
The cases regarding counterfeit tax stamps are generally held in federal
court, and bear very serious consequences. Currently, NYC has seen many
instances of counterfeit cigarettes with counterfeit tax stamps on them
for the alleged buyers to avoid paying high taxes. The charges revolving
around counterfeit cigarettes and tax stamps can result in accusations of
conspiracy and
federal charges.
