Trump was not personally a defendant in the case, which was related to a scheme by his company to avoid taxes on compensation in the form of perks including free apartments and luxury cars to its then-chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg and other executives since 2005.
But a prosecutor in closing arguments said that Trump “knew exactly what was going on.”
A jury in Manhattan Supreme Court began deliberations in the case on Monday after a trial that featured testimony by Weisselberg.
Defense lawyers had argued that Weisselberg — who earlier pleaded guilty to 15 felony charges — was solely responsible for the scheme, not the Trump Organization.>
Does the tax-free compensation of providing Company apartments and transportation apply to everyone, or only companies associated with Pres. Trump? I travel with my job, and the Gov't pays for my hotels and transportation - granted, they are not lavish - but I am not taxed on them. They are a part of the job, as most people who travel for a living deal with.
those aren't benefits - they are expenses. I'm sure the company has to file that somewhere, but they probably get money back for required business expenses. Now if you are on a 1099 that may be different, but W-2 employees (In the US) aren't responsible for that stuff.
