THE GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP EMS ALLIANCE, a not-for-profit emergency ambulance provider in Camden County, New Jersey, has had a Federal tax lien for nearly $140,000 applied against it. The IRS is claiming that they owe back taxes along with interest and penalties dating to 2001.

The South Jersey Courier-Post is reporting:
“The accountant failed to pay taxes at different times over the past 10 years. When we realized it, we paid them all off,” EMS Chief Tom Eden said. “Now we’re trying to figure out who’s responsible for the penalties and interest.”
Eden said the actual amount of the unpaid taxes came “close to $48,000.” He said he believed the EMS’s accounting firm, Mellace & Associates in Turnersville, should pay the remaining balance of interest and fines.
Chief Eden also said that the settling of the tax issue will not impede the squad’s ability to continue providing service, but there may be a delay when it comes to upgrading some equipment. The squad serves Gloucester Township’s 65,000 residents and has mutual aid agreements with surrounding municipalities.. Eden said the alliance responds to about 7,000 calls a year.
