Tax Enforcement and Evasion

The estate of late billionaire Robert Brockman has agreed to pay $750 million in back taxes and penalties to the IRS, settling a civil suit stemming from what the government had called the largest U.S. tax fraud case ever brought against an individual, according to a U.S. Tax Court filing on Tuesday. The settlement resolves an IRS claim that had sought $1.4 billion, marking a major recovery in a long‑running offshore tax-evasion case involving complex structures and hidden income.
