    Posted: 07/November/2009 at 00:34
I have information that my ex employer is committing what I believe to be tax fraud. Can anyone clarify?
My employer had a sale a few months ago in the shop that she had just vacated..as she had leased new premises. It was a cash only sale with no receipts given. All purchases were recorded in a little note pad and thats all. When she was handed the $6000 made from the sale in cash....she said and I quote "Thats going with me to buy a new sofa. I won't bank it, no one needs to know about it"
Now I know first hand that she commits tax fraud every year as I was her manager for 3 years. I watched her take goods from the shop, give them to family members etc and then at tax time when they showed up missing on stocktake reports, she would report them as stolen to the tax department.
The actual value of the goods sold in the sale would have been around $40,000 - $50,000 but sold at much lower than cost. Does this constitute a tax crime?

Yes it does.

You wont get anywhere without solid proof, its highly unlikely any of her family or friends will admit to anything. I am guessing you are an unhappy ex employee?

Yes Jewlesy, I am very much an unhappy ex employee. I have an unscrupulous ex employer, trying to ruin me and my reputation with lies and accusations of insinuated fraudulent behaviour on my part in my home town because she is vindictive. If I have something in my armery that allows me to fight back and prove THEY are the dishonest ones...then why shouldn't I use it.
By the way.. I have the proof. I have witnesses to that statement, customers who purchased goods from that sale and when declarations are made to the tax man of what is stolen and I have people who say they purchased those goods from her...is that not then considered proof?
I can't stand bullies... I was forced out of a job because of one...I won't lie down again for them.
