No tax for you!
The chief financial officer for the Staten Island-based Soupman Inc. — made famous by the iconic “Soup Nazi” episode of “Seinfeld” — was busted Tuesday for not paying half a million dollars in taxes over the course of four years, authorities announced.
Robert Bertrand, 62, allegedly avoided paying Medicare, Social Security and federal income taxes to the tune of more than $593,000 by not reporting cash earnings or the fact that Soupman employees were compensated on the side with stock awards, the US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn said.
The saucy scheme lasted from 2010 to 2014 — resulting in more than $2.8 million in cash and stock compensation flying under the radar, the feds said.
Bertrand allegedly was warned in 2012 by an external auditor that the cash and stock awards should be reported to the IRS.

There a sliding scale based on political influence, skin pigmentation and campaign donations.
