New York Attorney General Letitia James said Feb. 10 that her office recovered more than $4.7 million from the owners of two New York City truck rental companies and their accountant for what she described as a decade-long sales tax evasion scheme.

The settlement covers Able Rentals, Inc. and Abarn Equipment Corp., along with accountant Howard Zapken, according to the Office of the Attorney General. An investigation by the office found that the companies’ owners, Myron and Martin Schulman, pocketed sales taxes they collected from customers on more than $15 million in revenue from 2014 through 2024 by vastly underreporting their taxable sales to the state, the office said.
