Not paying your restaurant or gambling tab is indistinguishable from theft. As far as I know you cannot go to prison for owed taxes.

- adrr 6y agoAny other service that is post paid, there is no risk of jail time. I can visit the dentist and get my teeth cleaned and get the bill and not pay. I can get my home remodeled and not pay. I can rack up a $50,000 bill on AWS and not pay. All these would go to collections and the police wouldn’t hall me off to jail. Not paying your tax is a felony.
- cwhiz 6y agoThe difference is knowing the costs ahead of time versus getting a bill and being unable or unwilling to pay. Most post paid services, as you call it, have unknown costs at the time of service. Not so for dining at a restaurant. Not paying tax can’t land you in jail.
