A criminal complaint was filed on April 2 against Michael Rossman, president of Fuelman Inc., and his corporation, Fuelman Inc., for multiple tax violations.

The state Department of Taxation announced the complaint last week.

The complaint states Rossman was the responsible person who failed to file the Monthly Liquid Fuel Tax Returns of his corporation for the months of January 2004, September through December 2004 and January through March 2005. In addition, the corporation was also charged with failing to file its Monthly Liquid Fuel Tax Returns for the same periods.

Rossman and the corporation were served on Monday and will be arraigned on Friday at First District Court in Honolulu.

If convicted, Rossman faces a fine of not more than $25,000 for an individual and $100,000 for a corporation per violation, and a period of incarceration not to exceed one year or probation.
