Jman888 Moderator February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Former S’pore Customs officer jailed for GST fraud BY ALICE CHIA FEBRUARY 6, 2015 SINGAPORE — A former Singapore Customs officer has been sentenced to five years’ jail and ordered to pay a penalty of over S$670,000 for his role in a fraud case involving Goods and Services Tax (GST) refunds, which prosecutors declared the most elaborate GST fraud case seen since the introduction of the GST electronic tourist refund (eTRS) scheme. The sum, totalling S$673,084.80, comprises an S$11,400 penalty for corruption offences and a S$661,684.80 penalty, or three times the amount of GST defrauded. Mohamed Yusof Abdul Rahman, 67, pleaded guilty to seven corruption charges. Another 26 charges were taken into consideration. He also pleaded guilty to 25 charges relating to GST tax evasion, and 78 similar charges were taken into consideration. The offences were committed between January 2013 and January last year. Investigations revealed that Yusof helped approve fraudulent GST refund claims of four Indian nationals amounting to S$493,858.67. The claims were approved even though the items presented — which were jewellery — did not match the description on the receipts. In return, Yusuf received bribes totalling S$11,400 in cash. The prosecution called this the “most elaborate, sophisticated and pre-meditated GST fraud case” since the introduction of the GST electronic tourist refund scheme in August 2012. The four Indian nationals who bribed Yusof were last year sentenced to jail terms of between three and four years and ordered to pay penalties amounting to three times the tax defrauded. Sundar Panneer Selvam, 46, Baskaran Uthirapathy, 28, Pounraj Natarajan, 25, and Gobi Raman, 31, were caught after the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore found their tourist refund claims fishy. Their modus operandi was to buy receipts from bona fide shoppers to get eTRS tickets from jewellery retailers. They would then present cheap jewellery that fell short of the value of the refund claim at the airport counter. The case of another accomplice, 50-year-old Lim Pheck Aun, has not been dealt with yet. At the time of the offences, the sales executive at Soon Huat Goldsmith is believed to have accepted bribes, in return for generating eTRS tickets to those who were not the actual buyers of the jewellery.

Vid Hypersonic February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 This sentence makes the prosecutors look so stupid The prosecution called this the “most elaborate, sophisticated and pre-meditated GST fraud case” since the introduction of the GST electronic tourist refund scheme in August 2012.

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Oic, 4 indians come to Singapore, bribed retailers to generate fake recepits. Then bring cheap jewellery for customs inspectation & endorsement. Then claim back cash (GST amount) from the customs counter and hand carry the items out. Say brided retailers for fake recepits of S$3m worth of jewellery for S$10k. Brided Customs officer S$10k. Amount claim back from counter S$210k. Profit S$ 190k. Less cost from fake/lower value of jewellery presented to customs = gross profit. How & where they got caught? How can the retail accomplice get away where the (eTRS) scheme will show the actual transaction. If a single recepit, it is impossible not to raise an eyebrow. So likely it is a organize crime over several transations over a long period of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
