A NSW woman who successfully obtained more than $70,000 through fake tax claims has been jailed for almost two years for her crimes.
fraudster Rachel Saville was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison in the Port Kembla Local Court after she attempted to obtain more than $250,000 in fraudulent GST refunds.
Saville's moves were picked up by ATO investigators under Operation Protego, a scheme that was initiated in response to widespread GST fraud activity."Tax crime is not victimless and those who engage in this activity are stealing funds that would otherwise be used for essential services," Mr Ford said.
