Why is tax evasion charge not added to pretty much every other crime that makes profit?

618 viewsOther

Imagine smash and grab person, he or she will be charged for that, but bot for selling that and not taxing that profit. Or small scale drug dealer, he makes money but does not get charged with tax evasion. Same for robbery or embezzlement or anything. Why are tax evasion charges not being added on top of original charges??

Sometimes it is done. Watch the movie “Molly’s Game”.

They charged her with money laundering and tax evasion on the money. And at the same time seized her money so that she couldn’t pay the tax on the seized money.

But they only do it for big crimes that they charge years later. Mostly because it takes about a year before tax on stolen money is due.
