DeWitt Law recently represented a taxpayer indicted in Benton County, Tennessee, for alleged failure to report and pay Tennessee sales and use tax related to multiple aircraft purchased out of state. The Tennessee Department of Revenue alleged that the aircraft were brought into Tennessee without proper tax reporting, leading to a criminal tax prosecution.

Our firm thoroughly analyzed the state’s evidence, tax assessments, and the taxpayer’s compliance record. Through strategic negotiation and legal advocacy, DeWitt Law achieved a dismissal of the charges via judicial diversion, ensuring that the client avoided a criminal conviction and retained a clean record.

This outcome underscores DeWitt Law’s commitment to defending taxpayers against aggressive enforcement actions by state tax authorities. We combine deep knowledge of Tennessee tax law with strong litigation experience to protect our clients’ rights and resolve complex tax disputes efficiently and favorably.
