SINGAPORE \u2013 An accountant has been sentenced to 30 weeks\u2019 jail for submitting fictitious company documents to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore\u00a0(IRAS).<\/p>\n
After a trial, Daniel Chun Ling Ping, 50, was convicted of multiple charges under the Goods and Services Tax Act.<\/p>\n
He had furnished fictitious invoices and transaction listings during a GST audit by IRAS.<\/p>\n
In a statement on May 21, the authority said that his case was linked to Teo Ah Moy, the sole director of two companies.<\/p>\n
She was ordered to pay more than $3.5 million in August 2025 for income tax and GST offences.<\/p>\n
The offences involving her companies, Maxim Ingredients International and Matrix Ingredients, resulted in more than $1.7 million in undercharged taxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIRAS conducted an audit of Maxim and requested information concerning Maxim\u2019s business, along with documents supporting its GST claims, and Chun was authorised by Teo to address IRAS\u2019 audit,\u201d said the authority.<\/p>\n
Despite knowing that Maxim was dormant, Chun created fictitious invoices and listings for submission to IRAS. He also provided false information to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a certified public accountant, Chun\u2019s role carried significant responsibility, making his facilitation of tax offences especially serious,\u201d added IRAS.<\/p>\n
Chun will be filing an appeal, and his bail has been set at $55,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
