Allegedly Failed to Pay Taxes for Nearly a Decade
NASHVILLE - A Clarksville, Tennessee, business owner was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on four counts of tax fraud, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Mary Jane Stewart for the Middle District of Tennessee.
David Haley, 64, the owner and operator of Haley & Associates Mechanical Contractors, faces four counts of filing false tax returns for tax years 2014-2017. The indictment alleges that even though Haley’s business compensation was well in excess of $1 million for each of the tax years, he falsely reported that he received zero business income. The indictment also alleges that except for a small payment in 2012, neither Haley nor his business paid federal income taxes for 2008 through 2017.
If convicted, Haley faces up to three years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine on each count.
This case was investigated by the IRS-Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn W. Booth is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. # #
