[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Virginia doctor pleaded guilty today to willful failure to pay employment taxes.
According to court records, Arshad Pervez Cheema owned and operated Walk-In Medical Center, PC, a medical practice located in Falls Church and Herndon, Virginia.
Over a four-year period from 2012 to 2016, Cheema willfully did not pay over $500,000 in payroll taxes. Instead, he used some of the withheld funds for other business ventures, including to open and run a restaurant in Washington, D.C. In addition, Cheema did not pay corporate taxes for Walk-In Medical Center, PC, nor did he pay employment taxes for another doctor’s office, Falls Church Family Care PC, which he operated.
In total, Cheema did not pay more than $2 million in employment and corporate taxes.
He faces up to five years in prison.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
