The tax evasion offences involved the submission by Louie to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) of salaries tax returns for the tax assessment years 1988- 89 to 1990-91 in which assessable income had been understated, and as a result, salaries tax evaded.
An IRD spokesman reminded the public that tax evasion is a criminal offence. Upon conviction, the maximum sentence is three years imprisonment and a fine of $20,000 on each charge (or $25,000 for an offence committed during the period from August 1, 1994 to July 18, 1995 or $50,000 for an offence committed after July 18, 1995), plus a further fine equivalent to three times the amount of tax undercharged.
