VANDERPUMP Rules’ fired star, Jax Taylor, has “failed to pay off his $1.2M tax debt” as the Bravo show’s new season premieres.
Earlier this year, Central Recorder exclusively revealed that the ex TV personality owed over a million dollars from several outstanding tax liens after just purchasing a $2M Los Angeles home with wife Brittany Cartwright.

More than six months later, Central Recorder has confirmed with both the California State Tax Board and officials with the IRS that Jax, 42, has still not paid off his debts.
According to court records, the Michigan native still owes $316571 to the state for the period 2018-2019.
The tax lien he is referring to is his latest, and was filed on March 10. He also notes that interest will continue to accrue up until the remaining balance is paid.
Jason Michael Cauchi is the ex-bartender. He owes $23,000 in taxes for the year ending in 2014.
From 2018, the VPR alum continues to have another $198,190 in federal taxes added to his outstanding balance.
Jax and Brittany closed their deal on the California home in December 2018. The controversial figure still owed $646,867 in federal taxes.
Jax owes $1.2 million to the IRS, which includes $868,035 in unpaid federal taxes.
The more Jax waits to pay Uncle Sam, the higher the interest will be on the already high amount.
Jax attempted to explain the problems and downsize them a few days after Central Recorder had posted Jax’s tax information. Bad bookkeeper. We all get bad bookkeepers.
“I suggest researching your bookkeeper when you pay your taxes because I got f*cked.”
He added: “I’m fixing it. It’s not a big deal.”
A rep for Jax did not respond to Central Recorder’s request for comment.
THE PRICE HE PAYED…
In December, Bravo announced Jax and wife, Brittany, would not return to Vanderpump Rules and neither have appeared to land another gig since.
Jax’s comments cost him a lot – as it was reported he was the highest-paid earner on the VPR cast with an alleged salary of $25,000 per episode.
The season is 24 episodes long, so Jax could be losing more than $600,000.
Brittany and Jax’s money woes come as the couple – who wed in a tumultuous TV wedding last year – as they welcomed their first child together this Summer.
The couple also put down a substantial amount of money to purchase a $1.9M modern farmhouse outside Los Angeles, in the upscale Valley Glen.
Last year, Bravo fired Jax, Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute for their “racist” past behavior.
Bravolebrity Jax was accused of “racist and transphobic” comments as fans quickly called for his firing – with even friend Lance Bass agreeing he should be off the show.
COSTLY COMMENTS
Meanwhile, Faith Stowers accused her former costars Stassi and Kristen of reporting her to the police for a crime she did not commit in 2018.
Jax had also tweeted of Faith at the time: “She’s wanted by the police for grand theft auto and ‘awol’ from military, bad idea to be on a reality show dude. Someone’s going to jail.”
VPR alum, Billie Lee, who identifies as transgender, has accused Jax of being transphobic.
VPR’s return to television will be the first since it lost many of its cast members.
However, fan-favorites including Tom Sandoval, 38, Tom Schwartz & wife Katie Maloney, James Kennedy, Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, 36, and her fiance, Brock Davies, will return.
Vanderpump Rules will return to Bravo Tuesday, September 28th at 9pm ET.
