Boston restaurant group The Briar Group hit with nearly $400K federal tax lien
"In 2023, we made a mistake in a filing with the IRS for 2022 payments to vendors involving 1099 forms. This was an oversight; we will be updating the filing. All taxes were paid to the IRS, the state, and the city."
"The notice, filed April 22 in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, states that the Briar Group owes the IRS $393,146.49 total in taxes, including interest and penalties. The notice identifies two unpaid tax categories, both tied to the tax period ending on Dec. 31, 2022."
"Under IRS rules, federal tax liens generally remain in effect for 10 years, and the agency typically has 10 years from the date assessment to collect the debt. In this case, the notice indicates the IRS assessed the taxes in 2025."
The Briar Group, which operates 10 restaurants and bars across Greater Boston including MJ O'Connor's, The Harp, and Broken Records Beer Hall, received a federal tax lien notice from the IRS for nearly $400,000 in unpaid taxes. The lien, filed in April, identifies two tax violations from the 2022 tax period: $20,880 for failure to file correct returns and $372,266.49 for withheld federal income tax from nonpayroll payments. The company attributes the issue to a 2023 filing mistake involving 1099 vendor tax forms. The Briar Group states all taxes were paid to the IRS, state, and city, and plans to update the filing. Federal tax liens typically remain in effect for 10 years.
