Three Preparers Indicted


Nadav Kalai, United Revenue ServiceThree tax preparers have been indicted on charges they helped clients evade taxes by hiding millions of dollars in funds in secret accounts at two Israeli banks. The three operated under the name United Revenue Service in 12 locations across the country.


David Kalai, Nadav Kalai and David Almog were indicted in the Central District of California on a superseding indictment that charges that they conspired to defraud the United States. Nadav Kalai and his son David were URS principals who worked at the company's former headquarters in Newport Beach, Calif., and later at its Costa Mesa, Calif., location. Almog was the branch manager of the New York office and supervised tax return preparers at URS's East Coast locations.

The indictment alleges the three prepared income tax returns that did not disclose clients' foreign accounts or income earned from those. The Kalais and Almog are accused of hiding clients' ownership of assets in companies incorporated in Belize and elsewhere while helping them open secret bank accounts at Luxembourg locations of two Israeli Banks that were note identified by name. Money sent offshore was allegedly reported as an investment loss or phony business expense.

Each defendant faces a maximum of five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.  Nadav Kalai's LinkedIn page shows he has been president of URS since 2001 and that it has operated since 1988.
