A boss of a global private equity company who tried to swindle a £12,682 refund out of the VAT man – backed-up by bogus documents – has ben ordered to work for free.
Juell Rahman, 39, of Whitten Road, Twickenham runs Intra Partners Ltd., of 500 Chiswick High Road, Chiswick, which has branches in Dubai and Mumbai.
He pleaded guilty at City of London Magistrates’ Court (pictured) to fraud on or about November 12, last year in relation to a false telephone invoice he gave Revenue and Customs when applying for a £12,682 VAT repayment.
He also pleaded guilty to further charges of making a false representation, producing a false sales invoice, a false list, a false online invoice and a false credit card statement in support of the bogus repayment.
He was prosecuted by the Central Fraud Group who told the court the repayment was never paid to the defendant after investigators discovered he was supporting his application with forged invoices and bank documents.
Rahman was sentenced to a twelve-month community order including 250 hours community service work.
