NO SLACK FROM TAXMAN -- EVEN ON DRUG PROFITS

REGINA - A Regina man currently in jail for dealing cocaine is in trouble 
again, this time with the taxman.

Bradley Daniel Roth pleaded guilty this week to tax evasion after failing 
to declare $189,083 in income on tax returns, some of which was earned from 
drug trafficking.

Roth, 42, evaded paying federal income taxes totalling $37,812 by failing 
to report his total income, according to the Canada Revenue Agency.

 From information obtained through a court order, a Canada Revenue Agency 
audit determined part of the unreported income came from his criminal 
activities, said a tax official.

The Income Tax Act doesn't differentiate between income derived legally or 
illegally, she explained. All income must be declared.

Roth will have to serve six additional months concurrent to the 26 months 
he is serving in a federal penitentiary for drug trafficking.
