The outstanding bill of $493,000 has gone unpaid since March 15, 2001. Enron avoided paying taxes to the federal government in four of the past five years, a New York Times reporter discovered.Letters are sent by the board to 600,000 individuals and 20,000 businesses because of tax delinquency each year.The measures that could be taken against the company include filing liens, seizing assets, or preventing the company from doing business in the state. About 10 percent of the taxes paid to California, or $4 billion, comes from businesses, Hill said.
