Tax office sacks 15, investigates 20 more workers for tax fraud
The tax office has sacked 15 members of staff since January 2017 for submitting fraudulent tax returns, the Telegraaf said on Friday.
A further 20 workers are being investigated, the paper said.
The tax office officials have attempted to cheat on their tax return like ‘normal citizens’ and have tried, for example, to hide assets which they hold abroad or make up deductibles, the paper said.
A spokesman for the tax office said he did not know how many cases of tax offical tax fraud would be taken to court.
