Luigi's N. James ST. closed NYS siezed nonpay taxes

No pay No play

Free Pizza just pay tax.

opening up a pizza place in rome has no chance...for the love of god stop opening one up across the street from tonys on jay...how many times does that place have to fail before they give up? STOP.

Luigis is not across from tonys it's down the road they got shut down today there business was seized because they haven't paid there sales tax taxes must've for quite awhile because it takes awhile for my state to shut you down it's a process and first they try to work with you not to mention they send out filed reps and they send multiple letters so it could very well be for there places in the city too hopefully they can pay them and get back open time shall see

Good food there too.

what kills me about this situation is that they give 10yr tax breaks to companies money to relocate etc...then they go belly up and pay no one anything.....come on Romans.....regardless of how you feel....this was a hardowriking family that employed people and gave good honest food....I will truly miss their food...As far as the people looking strung out there well...go to work and work the shifts they did...standing in front of those ovens all day and then take pic of yourself see how you look....you people make me sick....judging people....really....becareful how you judge others because it says you will be judged by the same standards that you use!!!

Didn't the people who ran Luigi's rent the building? If so it's the landlords fault and not the people who run Luigi's.

Landlords are not responsible for paying sales tax.

They are responsible for paying property taxes. Your saying that the people who ran Luigi's didn't pay taxes made on the sales of the food. If so then yes it's their issue. But I was under the impression it was for property taxes and if that's the case it's the landlords issue.

I am one of the first people to complain about property tax rates in this state. We get soaked here to support a government that is barely effective. However, sales taxes are another story all together. There is really no excuse for not paying sales tax. You collect it from the customer (seperate from the sale item) and you give it to the state. It is as easy as that. At no time should a business look at that money as theirs. It actually ticks me off because these scumbags were charging people extra money that they just pocketed.

Looks like whatever issues they had yesterday are now resolved as of this afternoon they r back up and running

is this really true?? when will they be closing? they looked open today...?

Oh shut it. You sit here in judgement of an entire forum, so I hardly see how you can criticize anyone else for "judging". Furthermore, Luigis should have been paying taxes, period, end of story.
I don't want to hear some lame excuse about how someone else got a better deal therefore no one needs to pay taxes, that's idiocy. I pay taxes right out of my paycheck along with many other Americans, the people who own luigis were ripping us off by not paying, and it makes me sick.

Hahahaha

I drove by today about 11:15am and someone in one of those state cars was there putting the big orange stickers all over the windows and doors that said SEIZED.

what does that mean? sales tax is a tax collected on sales you make and is owed the state, it must be paid in full quarterly. Property taxes are just that taxes on property not sales.

Doesn't anyone remember that the landlord of that building had it shut down for taxes a few years back...That is why it isn't a bakery anymore. Maybe the landlord is still in trouble.

Back open last night..Yeah awesome food.
