Not final
Luxury Car Dealers on Trial for Tax Fraud
A pair from Linz was convicted Monday at the local regional court for allegedly evading taxes and duties totaling approximately 900,000 euros in connection with the sale of 19 high-end cars from Ferrari and other manufacturers. The second defendant even received an unconditional prison sentence—not yet final.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Time and again, high-end cars are being misused in Upper Austria. Just last week, a car dealer from the Perg district was sentenced to two years in prison—a ruling that is not yet final. He is alleged to have sold highly exclusive classic cars and sports cars on behalf of customers. However, he allegedly used the proceeds to plug financial holes in his own business instead of paying them out to the customers.
Taxes Unpaid on 19 Cars
On Monday, two businessmen from Linz will have to answer for their alleged crimes at the local regional court. The pair (ages 41 and 40) are alleged to have evaded sales tax, corporate income tax, capital gains tax, and standard consumption taxes totaling approximately 900,000 euros on the sale of a total of 19 cars.
Verdicts Not Final
On Monday, the first defendant received a 21-month suspended sentence and a partially suspended fine of 25,000 euros. A partially suspended fine of 900,000 euros was imposed on the defendants’ company. The second defendant received eight months of unsuspended imprisonment and 16 months of suspended imprisonment for the fraud, as well as a 40,000-euro fine to be paid in full. For attempted aggravated assault, the second defendant received an additional twelve months’ suspended sentence and a 3,600-euro fine on top of that—he is alleged to have punched an opponent several times in the face on the side of the road during a neighborhood dispute. None of the verdicts are final.
