If my limited liability company or limited partnership has accumulated significant tax debts that it cannot pay, and someone comes along who says they can find a buyer for the company, should we sell it to the buyers they bring in?
Probably not. Many people are unaware that if a business association is unable to meet its tax obligations due to operating at a loss, this does not constitute a criminal offence. However, transferring a company – usually one with significant public debt – to homeless people or foreigners constitutes the crime of forging public documents and, in many cases, tax fraud.
