Case and status
A company director was due to be charged on 23 March 2018 for assisting corporate income-tax evasion. Five proposed charges concerned false entries for YAs 2009–2013, involving S$648,427.90 undercharged.
Facts, amounts and outcome
Seventeen additional charges concerned incorrect GST returns understating output tax by S$266,870.58 without reasonable excuse. The short release does not report a conviction or identify a final sentence. It distinguishes possible penalties for deliberate income-tax evasion from incorrect GST reporting: the quoted multiples and maximum terms are the provisions discussed at publication, conditional on conviction.
