The Canada Revenue Agency published an enforcement notification on a GST/HST evasion case and highlighted the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada’s contribution to the investigation, which culminated in the sentencing of a Surrey, British Columbia bookkeeper. Aeddy Leung received a conditional sentence order of two years less a day and two years probation after pleading guilty to willfully evading remittance tax and making false statements in Goods and Services Tax and Harmonized Sales Tax returns. The investigation found that, as bookkeeper for the Quality Hotel Airport (South) and the Coast Vancouver Airport Hotel, Leung intentionally filed false GST/HST returns and failed to file required returns for the 2014–2018 reporting periods, resulting in the evasion of CAD 987,863 in net GST/HST owed by the hotels.
