SINGAPORE - A 38-year-old businessman was convicted of cheating the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore of over $11.

7 million through a scheme in which he created over 200 shell companies to apply for grants from the taxman.

They then submitted false claims under the PIC scheme for fictitious expenses incurred by the shell companies in the form of software and Web-based system purchases. The trio repeated this mode of operation with more than 200 shell companies, and received around $11,793,000 from Iras in PIC cash payouts.
