Accountant gets 30 weeks’ jail for submitting fictitious company documents to IRAS

She was ordered to pay more than $3.5 million in August 2025 for income tax and GST offences.

The offences involving her companies, Maxim Ingredients International and Matrix Ingredients, resulted in more than $1.7 million in undercharged taxes.

“IRAS conducted an audit of Maxim and requested information concerning Maxim’s business, along with documents supporting its GST claims, and Chun was authorised by Teo to address IRAS’ audit,” said the authority.

Despite knowing that Maxim was dormant, Chun created fictitious invoices and listings for submission to IRAS. He also provided false information to it.

“As a certified public accountant, Chun’s role carried significant responsibility, making his facilitation of tax offences especially serious,” added IRAS.

Chun will be filing an appeal, and his bail has been set at $55,000.
