Charlotte restaurateur racks up $360K in tax liens, says payments made

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Several Charlotte restaurants owned by Deedee Mills face numerous federal and state tax liens. The Mayobird, The Summit Room — both at 1531 East Blvd.— along with The Packhouse at 500 E. Morehead owe nearly $360,000 total in unpaid taxes, according to state and federal public records.

That breaks down to $196,551 in federal tax liens against The Packhouse LLC and The Mayobird LLC.

The N.C. Department of Revenue’s liens total more than $163,275 at all three restaurants for failure to pay sales and use taxes as withholding taxes deducted from employees wages as part of state income tax.

Mills says she has been in communication with state and federal officials and a plan addressing those liens is in place. “It was a misunderstanding,” Mills says. “When it was brought to my attention, it was immediately on the road to being rectified.”

Payments made on those liens that are not reflected in the balance, she says.
