The Delaware Division of Revenue has posted another list of top 100 delinquent personal and business taxpayers.
In the past year, delinquent taxpayer lists have collected more than $2.8 million in back taxes from those whose names were published, or when those taxpayers were advised their names could go online.
Since its start in February 2007, the lists have been credited with the collection of more than $9.2 million.
“Greater still, though, is the amount of money collected from individuals and businesses that pay beforehand so that their information never goes on our website,” said Division Director Patrick Carter.
Delaware began publishing its online Delinquent Taxpayer lists in February 2007 to post for public view the names of people and businesses who owe unpaid tax bills to Delaware. By legislative order, larger balances were targeted first for publication.
Each quarter the next 100 consecutive business tax and 100 consecutive personal tax unresolved balances over $1,000 are posted to the site.
