SINGAPORE — When asked by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (Iras) if six phantom employees were employed at his father’s company so that appropriate Job Support Scheme (JSS) payouts could be disbursed, Teoh Wong Har lied that they were.

However, a slip up in documentation led to the taxman discovering his ruse which eventually prevented TK Manufacturing and Wholesale Centre from receiving any of the payouts.On Thursday , Teoh, 35, who was managing his father's company at the time of the offences, admitted to two cheating-related charges, and was sentenced to three months and two weeks in jail.Court documents detailed Teoh’s dishonesty pertaining to the two charges he pleaded guilty to.

These payouts were meant to provide wage support to employers to help them to retain local employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Iras subsequently requested for further supporting documents from TKM to facilitate the JSS payout for July.
