Nonthaburi’s tax invoice forgery firm busted

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The proprietor of a construction materials trading company in Nonthaburi was arrested by revenue officials and police for allegedly forging tax invoices for sale, causing damage to the state about one billion baht in lost taxes.

 

Revenue department chief Prasong Poonthanet said Monday that it had taken revenue officials about four months in collecting evidences before they raided the construction materials trading firm in Nonthaburi on September 8.

 

He said that the proprietor used the construction materials trading firm as just a front as the core business of his firm was to sell forged tax invoices to unscrupulous traders or contractors who wanted to avoid paying taxes or to pay less taxes to the Revenue Department by claiming that they had additional costs.

Why buy forgery when real forgery is available for a modest fee?

Seize all his assets including house, car etc and freeze all the family bank accounts until all the 'stolen' revenue, plus heavy fines is returned.....then send him to the slammer.
