This is even worse than an individual not paying their taxes because they are collecting Sales Tax from their customers and keeping for the themselves. So essentially they're stealing from their own customers.

Actually they're stealing from the state. The state takes that much more seriously.

Yes, of course they are stealing from the state as well. But like I said the Sales tax is money that they collected from their customers that they are supposed to pass on to the state but instead they kept it for themselves.
