A Saint John businessman has a year to pay a six-figure fine after pleading guilty to charges of tax evasion.
Bruce English, the owner of environment dust control business Soil Solutions, has been fined over 200-thousand-dollars, which makes up 75% of the taxes he tried to evade.
Over 120-thousand-dollars of that amount is for not reporting his business income between 2006-2008 and 100-thousand dollars for making false statements on his HST returns and understating his payable HST over the same three years.
