SINGAPORE: Two car dealer brothers were sentenced to jail on Thursday (Sep 17) for tax evasion and money laundering.

Ang Ngoh Tee, 72, also known as William, and Ang Chai Heng, 63, also known as Winston, were the directors behind William’s Auto. The company had a third director, Chng Mathew, who died in 2019.

The older Ang was sentenced to five months and 28 days in jail, while the younger Ang was sentenced to five months and three days in jail. Both were also ordered to pay a penalty of S$812,795 each.

Even though the dealership was registered for goods and service tax (GST), it issued cash invoices for various services without charging GST, court documents said.

Instead of depositing the cash from these invoices into any of William’s Auto’s corporate bank accounts, the three directors deposited it into another bank account to evade taxes.

The money from that separate account was distributed among the three directors, broadly in proportion to their shareholdings in the company.

From 2013 to 2019, the older Ang received more than S$2 million while the younger Ang received more than S$1 million from this account.

In 2018, both brothers received cash cheques of S$20,000 from the bank account, which they deposited into their personal bank accounts. Soon after, they both bought cars using cheques issued from their personal bank accounts. Court documents show that they admitted that the undeclared cash sales funded a portion of their car purchases.

William’s Auto also underdeclared its net profit in its income tax returns for 2015 and 2016. As a result, it was undercharged by S$219,978 in taxes, court documents said.

The company also underdeclared the amount of GST it charged and collected for certain periods between 2013 and 2017, resulting in S$50,952 of undercharged GST.

Those found guilty of evading taxes face a penalty of up to four times the amount of tax evaded. Jail terms may also be imposed.

For money laundering, the punishment is a jail term of up to 10 years, a fine of up to S$500,000, or both.

新加坡：两名汽车经销商兄弟因逃税和洗钱罪于周四（9月17日）被判入狱。

72岁的Ang Ngoh Tee（又名William）和63岁的Ang Chai Heng（又名Winston）是William's Auto的董事。该公司还有第三位董事Chng Mathew，他于2019年去世。

年长的Ang被判处5个月零28天监禁，年幼的Ang被判处5个月零3天监禁。两人还被勒令分别支付812,795新元的罚款。

法庭文件显示，尽管该经销商已注册缴纳商品和服务税（GST），但它开具各种服务的现金发票时并未收取 GST。

威廉汽车公司的三名董事没有将这些发票上的现金存入任何公司银行账户，而是存入了另一个银行账户以逃税。

该独立账户中的资金按三位董事在公司中的持股比例大致分配给了他们。

从 2013 年到 2019 年，年长的 Ang 从该账户中获得了超过 200 万新元，而年幼的 Ang 则获得了超过 100 万新元。

2018年，两兄弟均从银行账户收到2万新元的现金支票，并将款项存入各自的个人银行账户。不久之后，他们便用各自个人银行账户开出的支票购买了汽车。法庭文件显示，他们承认未申报的现金销售款项用于支付部分购车款。

法庭文件显示，威廉姆斯汽车公司在2015年和2016年的所得税申报表中少报了净利润，因此少缴了219,978新元的税款。

该公司还少报了 2013 年至 2017 年期间收取的消费税金额，导致少收消费税 50,952 新元。

逃税罪名成立者将面临最高可达逃税金额四倍的罚款，并可能被判处监禁。

洗钱罪的处罚是最高可判处 10 年监禁，最高可处以 50 万新元罚款，或两者并罚。
