Developer charged for tax evasion in property sale in North Van, Surrey

Staff report
April 1, 2021 10:52am

The Canada Revenue Agency announced today that Devender Singh Dhillon of Surrey has been charged with two counts of making false statements and three counts of Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) evasion under the Excise Tax Act.

The criminal charges laid against Dhillon allege that he failed to report and remit $371,735.52 in GST/HST collected from the sale of eight residential properties in North Vancouver and Surrey.

As director of Oakwood Homes Inc. and Elgin Oaks Homes Ltd., Dhillon was actively involved in the companies’ purchase and development of real estate, and maintained the companies’ books and records.

It is also alleged that Dhillon failed to report over $10 million in sales on the companies’ GST/HST returns, for the March 2013 to September 2015 reporting period.

All case-specific allegations above were obtained from the court records, including the “Information to Obtain a Search Warrant”, the principal document used to set out the grounds for the issuance of a search warrant.

It describes the offence(s) alleged, the records or things to be searched for and the premises to be searched.

The CRA investigates suspected cases of tax evasion, fraud, and other serious violations of tax laws and recommends cases to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) for criminal prosecution.

During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, the PPSC conviction rate for tax-related crimes was 94%.

“The CRA continues to aggressively pursue tax evasion and false claims with all tools available to them. The CRA is continuously working towards making sure that individuals and businesses claim income earned, eligible losses, and benefits to which they are entitled,” the agency said.
