SAN DIEGO, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Just when it seemed the Employee Retention Tax Credit could not attract any more repercussions for businesses, a new method of fraud has emerged surrounding the checks themselves. Just last month, four individuals were formally charged with participation in a bank fraud scheme relating to the theft of business checks issued as part of the Employee Retention Tax Credit program.

Key Points: 
  • Just last month, four individuals were formally charged with participation in a bank fraud scheme relating to the theft of business checks issued as part of the Employee Retention Tax Credit program.
  • When an ERTC check is issued, it is printed by the Department of Treasury and distributed to taxpayers via the mail.
  • The first indication that a business may have been a victim of stolen checks or fraud is receiving a letter from the IRS questioning their Employee Retention Tax Credit claim.
  • Brotman Law is available to speak with any business owner, professional services provider or individual about their Employee Retention Tax Credit claim and can be reached on their website.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NATSO, representing America's travel centers and truck stops, SIGMA; America's Leading Fuel Marketers, and a diverse coalition representing fuel retailers, distributors, and consumers of advanced renewable fuels, urged the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Department of Treasury to uphold Congressional intent and subject sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to more stringent lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions modeling requirements under the 40B and 45Z tax credits enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Key Points: 
  • The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) modeling requirements for SAF are a fundamental underpinning of the statutory framework that Congress created for biofuels within the IRA.
  • The IRA stipulates that the value of a SAF tax credit depends upon the reduction of SAF lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
  • "Supply will diminish, and diesel prices will rise along with the price of all consumer goods that move by truck.
  • Inviting industry to disregard CORSIA would represent an affirmative decision by the Biden Administration to increase diesel emissions and increase fuel prices.
