The man was sentenced by the Gulating Court of Appeal to 120 days in prison and the payment of a fine for gross negligence and gross tax fraud.

In district court, the man was sentenced to 90 days in prison and a lesser fine. Sam appealed the sentence, and the Court of Appeal has now imposed a more severe sentence.
The defendant contracted one of his companies to pay his private invoices and also deducted them VAT for the company. The court found that the defendant was largely responsible for incorrect deductions being made in the tax return. The tax charged was incorrectly recorded and that he did not report income and dividends in his private tax return. According to the verdict, he evaded paying tax in the amount of NOK 590.
The judgment stated that the defendant knew that private invoices could not be entered into the company. Nevertheless, he instructed the suppliers he used privately to address invoices exactly to the company. According to the court, the case is also a good example of how difficult it is to detect mixing the company's expenses with the owner's private expenses. This happens when private expenses are camouflaged by addressing them directly to the company and without specifying the place of their delivery.
– Økokrim is satisfied that the Court of Appeal also sees this case in the same way as we do. Public consideration underscores the importance of a strong response in such cases, says Økokrim police lawyer Silje Slotterøy Dahlheim. The judgment is not final.
