First Nations University implemented federal income tax changes for payroll deductions
First Nations University has reported that they will start implementing federal income tax changes for their employee payroll deductions. Those employees who work in Prince Albert and Saskatoon will be treated under new federal income tax changes in their next payroll. First Nations University official also told that all the employees from various campuses will go through provincial income tax deductions. New federal income tax will be validated for Regina campus of First Nations University to all other campuses.
New federal income tax changes will start working from January 1, 2013. Workers at Regina campus will continue to exempt from their federal income tax, reported the First Nations University officials. University put the exemption first time in 2003 and now officials have understood that it has been applied too widely. VP of finance, Mr. Juliano Tupone announced that changes will be implemented and they are not going to fight it. Federal income tax will be based on new income tax brackets for First Nations University employees and new updates will be followed by the University. He added that they are working with the relevant parties to assist their employees as much as possible.
Mr. Tupone said that university administration wants to follow all the tax rules. Later on, a broadcasting company tried to contact the federal government about these updates but they declined to discuss about the issue. Further updates are expected this week once federal government comments about the new tax changes.

Doctor in London Guilty of Tax Evasion
It has been reported that a London doctor that worked in Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee has pleaded guilty to having evaded well over $900,000 in federal income taxes. This was announced by Kyle Edelen, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney Kerry B. Harvey.
The 64 year old Werner Grentz pleaded guilty this past week to tax evasion in London’s United States District Court. Grentz agreed to a plea stating that he must pay the Internal Revenue Service the debt that he owes in full.
Grentz worked as an independent doctor for Jellico, Tennessee hospital, and he said that he had earned $356,073 in taxable income in the year 2009. In order to hide his income, Grentz took it upon himself to hide his deposits in bank accounts of the companies that he had control over. This allowed him to not file tax returns or pay federal income taxes. Starting in 1999, Grentz said that he avoided paying $900,068 in taxes.
He was indicted on April 6 by a grand jury. As reported through the indictment, Grentz had earned more than $1.5 million from the year 2005 to 2010, yet he hadn’t filed any income tax return since the year 1999.
Grentz will be sentenced on May 16 in London, and he could face up to a maximum of 5 years in prison for his crime of tax evasion. The IRS, along with the Criminal Investigation Division, discovered Gretz’s tax evasion crime and conducted the indictment that will put him behind bars.

Man in Washington Guilty for Federal Tax Evasion Charge
A man from Washington pleaded guilty this week to federal charges, as he tried to avoid paying income taxes. With the help of the IRS, the man’s crimes were discovered and will be justified.
The guilty man from Washington is 46 year old Peter Ian Turner, who was last recorded to be living in Washington. He pleaded guilty earlier this week in the United States District Court for attempted federal income tax evasion. Turner will now face up to five years in prison, which will be decided upon in his sentence on May 15 by Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm.
According to the reports, the actual account is only for the year 2000. However, he accepted a 21-page plea agreement that was filed in the U.S. District Court, stating that he is required to file corrected tax returns from the year 2004 all the way through 2009 or at least provide substantial reasoning and evidence that those years were filed appropriately and according to the law.
From the reports given, Turner was a pharmacist since 1990 and worked as one until at least the year 2010, according to his plea agreement. At the start of 2000, Turner had stopped filing tax returns to the IRS. Additionally, according to his plea agreement, he attempted to hide the amount of money he made by putting that money, in addition to his property, in the names of acquaintances.
As of now, Turner remains free on bond until his sentence hearing comes up.
