Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot on Monday announced the names of the top 25 businesses and individuals collectively owing nearly $15 million in unpaid taxes, penalties and interest to the state of Maryland. Three businesses from Southern Maryland made the list of the Top 25 businesses. They are:
- KNC Marketing of Waldorf – They owe $70,877.85 in Sales and Use Taxes and $10,861.33 in Withholding Taxes. Officers assessed were Nancy Cain (Sales & Use — $53,105.24) and Heather Neef (Sales & Use — $53,105.24),

- Vera White Sands Beach Club, LLC of Lusby – They owe $113,087.17 in Sales and Use Taxes. Officer assessed was Lisa Delricco (Sales & Use — $82,441.83)
Known as the “Caught in the Web” program, the Comptroller’s Office routinely publishes the list of the top 50 scofflaws on the agency’s website, as a public attempt to get people to pay.
“The Caught in the Web program highlights the small number of Marylanders who have chosen to take advantage of the benefits of this great state, but who make a conscious effort to avoid paying taxes,” said Comptroller Franchot.
“These are not people simply down on their luck and unable to pay, but individuals and business owners who knowingly thumb their noses at the vast majority of Maryland taxpayers who fulfill their legal obligations to the state,” he added.
