(Washington, DC) - On Friday, February 4, the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR), again, revoked the sales and use tax certificate of Mendocino Grille and Wine bar, located at 2917 M Street, NW, for failure to pay more than $80,000 in sales taxes collected from patrons. OTR also seized the business liquor license.

In October 2009, OTR entered into a payment agreement with the owner, Troy Brock, following the seizure of the business for non-payment of sales and use taxes.  Mr. Brock breached that agreement resulting in OTR’s action on Friday.

OTR encourages businesses that are not in compliance to immediately pay any liability due or to contact our Collection Division to arrange a payment plan. The Collection Division can be reached at (202) 724-5045.
