Over the first four months of the current fiscal year, the Department of Revenue Investigation (DRI) filed cases against 50 – firms and individuals – on charge of revenue evasion.
Most of the cases are related to the use of fake value added tax (VAT) bills and evading excise duty and customs duty, according to the director general of department Dirgha Raj Mainali. “The department took action against 15 firms that were found using fake VAT bills to evade taxes,” he said, adding that the department is investigating many defrauding firms over the past year. “The department has been investigating against 25 cases related to the use of fake VAT bills by the big players that are suspected to have evaded large amount of taxes.”
The department last month investigated four cases related to evasion of taxes worth Rs 360.27 million, whereas the department last week had filed cases against 26 tax evaders. “Of them, some 25 traders are facing action for submitting fake VAT bills to evade taxes, while one is involved in smuggling of gold,” he added. “Proprietor of Lumbini Pan Masala and Tobacco Products Abdullah Musalman and proprietor of NS Traders and Suppliers Dujman Thapa were found to have evaded taxes worth Rs 13.25 million by using fake VAT bills.”
Likewise, the department filed case against proprietor of Prabha Enterprises Ram Prasad Chaulagain and proprietor of PC Traders Ram Krishna Dhakal for evading taxes amounting to a combined Rs 8.67 million under the same charge.
In a separate case, some 21 traders, including Binod Kumar Agrawal from Dhobighat, Lalitpur, and Bikas Agrawal from Hattiban, were also found to have evaded taxes amounting to Rs 1.29 billion. “The accused allegedly issued fake VAT bills through 13 different firms,” claimed the department that is responsible for investigating revenue theft.
