Canada - Man fined $83,000 for GST fraud  

A former Winnipeg man has been fined nearly $83,000 after pleading guilty to GST fraud.



 

Paul Birdsall now lives in Alberta and was not present in court Tuesday for sentencing.

Court heard Birdsall was marketing a number of "work-at-home" businesses when, in 2001, he failed to remit $54,000 in GST payments to the federal government.

An investigation by the Canada Revenue Agency revealed Birdsall declared only minimal income from a grocery coupon processing business known as Supermarket King, but continued to live in an upscale Winnipeg home.

Investigators discovered Birdsall failed to report substantial GST receipts on income earned through several other work-at-home businesses, including Horizon Career Consulting, DataMax Solutions and International Homeworkers Alliance.
