Personnel Co. Exec Ordered to Pay $4.2m
After pleading guilty to failing to pay payroll taxes, Bruce Alexander Brown, the former owner of employee-leasing business Excell Personnel, was sentenced to 36 months in prison and ordered to pay $4.2 million in restitution to the IRS.
Brown, a Dallas resident, did not pay federal payroll taxes for Excell in 2001 and 2002. According to court documents, Brown’s company “leased” employees to companies that did not want to hire their own workers. Excell would locate, hire and train the employees, and then provide them to businesses that were Excell’s customers. The businesses would pay Brown, who in turn would pay the employees.
Brown admitted that he was aware of the legal obligations to pay over to the IRS the required withholding taxes, Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes. He simply chose not to pay the taxes.
