A Surbiton businesswoman jailed last year for VAT fraud has been ordered to pay back more than £200,000 - or face more prison time.
Jasvinder Mahal, 42, of King Charles Road, admitted faking invoices and manipulating bank statements to claim VAT repayments.
She was jailed for a year at Kingston Crown Court last October, and faces another two years and nine months inside if she does not pay back her criminal profits of £207,047 within the next three months. A confiscation order was made last Friday. Mahal, whose companies were based in Victoria Road, admitted four counts of cheating the public revenue. She was also banned from being a company director for seven years.
Mahal's companies included:
- Mahal Consultancy Ltd
- Mahal Beauty Ltd
- Mahal Beauty Express Ltd
- Mahal Restaurant Ltd
- Mahal Investments (London) Ltd
- Mahal Catering Ltd
