More than $400 million in unpaid sales and use taxes are owed by California's top 250 tax scofflaws, according to the state's Board of Equalization.
The quarterly findings, released Tuesday and updated for the second quarter 2011, show $400.3 million owed to the state, including more than $8 million owed by Sacramento-area debtors.
Restaurant operator Lyons of California Inc., at 3000 J St. in Sacramento, owes about $4.07 million. Also on the list is Roseville developer Abe Alizadeh, who once commanded a billion-dollar Jack in the Box franchise business before his fortune dissolved into bankruptcy. He owed more than $1.5 million in sales and use tax.
Auburn Associates No. 2 Inc., the firm behind out-of-business car dealer Auburn Nissan, owed about $1.17 million. Auburn Nissan closed its doors in April 2008, one in a string of area dealerships that went under near the beginning of the recession.
North Highlands' West Coast Conveyor & Equipment Inc., owes about $1.13 million, according to the state board.
The nine new names added to the list owe a combined $11.7 million. Dublin-based Mobile Systems Wireless S.F. LLC tops the newcomers' list, with a debt of more than $3 million.
Other newcomers include a Lakewood oil company, a Hayward marijuana dispensary and a Malibu art dealer.
The Board of Equalization is mandated by state law to post the list of the largest tax delinquencies of more than $100,000.
Taxpayers with delinquencies are notified 30 days before the information is posted online.
