Goh Kim Teck, 58-years-old, pleaded guilty to one charge of tax evasion and six charges of omitting GST collected.
He was sentenced on 16 July to 3 weeks jail and fined $8,500, as well as a penalty of about #340,000.
Nine other similar charges were considered during sentencing.
Goh was in charge of supervising the daily operations and bookkeeping of the nightclub.
A large source of their income came from customers’ “hanging flowers” to the girls to show their support and appreciation, where they pay money for the flowers and it then gets worn by the girls.
From 2011 to 2014, Goh told his staff not to use the cashier for flowers that were bought with cash.
Goh would then hide the actual sales when filing GST for the club.
He also reported his personal income tax in 2013 as a loss of more than $50,000 when in actual fact, it was a profit of more than $120,000.
He was ordered to pay the penalties by 27 August, failure to do so would result in an extension of his jail term by 4 weeks and 138 days.
He will serve his sentence from 27 August.
