Recording a false invoice in your administration is not fraud

  • The Den Bosch Court has ruled that including a false invoice in the administration does not constitute tax fraud unless it is presented to third parties.
  • The case involves an accountant/financial advisor who worked for a private company.
  • The tax authorities conducted an audit and found discrepancies in the financial administration.
  • The accountant was charged with using a false invoice and keeping incorrect tax administration.
  • However, the court found that including a false invoice in the administration is not a criminal offense unless it is used towards third parties.
  • The court also noted that the accountant was hired to improve the administration and cannot be blamed for any discrepancies.
  • As a result, the accountant was acquitted of all charges.
