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

708 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??

because the profit from the crime is taken away. You would be paying tax on income you did not earn.

You can get charged for tax evasion, but that is usually only when they don’t have anything else to get you on (and that is only for past tax years and not the current one). Typically when the federal government is after you and not the state one.
