The Full Story Behind the Glen Frost Verdict
The case centered around Strategic Tax Planning's handling of the Employment Retention Credit (ERC), a federal tax refund designed to help businesses affected by COVID-19. Glen Frost's company aggressively marketed ERC services while allegedly failing to honor agreements with those who brought them clients.
The defendants argued they weren't bound by the Maryland Wage Protection and Collection Law because no formal contracts were signed. However, the jury found this argument unconvincing, ruling that the work completed in less than a year didn't require formal contracts to establish compensation agreements.
