infoUSA Helps Government with Tax Collection

infoUSA® (NASDAQ: IUSA), the leading provider of proprietary business and consumer databases and sales leads, today announced that the company is assisting State and Federal Governments with its data mining and analysis of their taxpayers.

The April 17, 2006 Business Week article titled “If You’re Cheating on Your taxes…” details infoUSA’s involvement with state and federal government and their efforts to analyze the returns filed by taxpayers. According to the article, “for now, most state data mining programs simply gather information from other government agencies, such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection and state motor vehicle and employment offices. Some states also tap commercial sources, such as infoUSA. They then screen the data to see whether a taxpayer’s income and spending patterns match what is reported on returns.”

The infoUSA databases are helping the State and Federal Governments collect taxes which are rightfully due to them. For more information how governments are utilizing infoUSA’s products and services, please read the article at http://biz.yahoo.com/bizwk/060406/nf20060464848_db016.html?.v=1.
