The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says a man from Bonnyville has been fined nearly $300,000 and sentenced to jail time for tax evasion.
On November 27, 2020, Clayton Kubbernus pleaded guilty in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench to one count of tax evasion relating to a personal tax return, one count of tax evasion as the sole director of 1083627 Alberta Ltd., and one count of tax evasion regarding Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) filings for the same corporation.
Kubbernus was sentenced to seven months in jail and fined a total of $269,726, which the CRA says represents 100% of the taxes he evaded.
A CRA investigation revealed Kubbernus moved money from his corporation to his personal bank account, and did not report the income on either the corporation’s tax returns, which he failed to file, or his personal tax returns, resulting in tax evasion.
