INCOME TAX FRAUD.
OFFENDERS FINED £lOOO. MELBOURNE, January 13. As an outcome of the raid on the Small Arms Company on August, 1927. Wililam Bartlett, Secretary of Abrahams Brothers, Fanny Coker, Miriam Hyams, Esther Lyons, Louis Hyams, Phillip Hyams and Harry Hyams were fined amounts totalling £lOOO, with total costs £2lO. The charges to which all pleaded guilty were of making false income tax returns. Defendants, with the exception of Bartlett, are relatives of Abrahams, and the Crown alleged that for some years past they acted as dummies, enabling Abrahams Bros to pay a rate of income tax 12 to 16 per cent, less than the proper tax.
