- The defendant (T) was convicted of serious VAT fraud for the years 2016-2018, having underreported VAT by a total of 671,647 DKK.

- The court found T had knowingly provided false information and accepted the risk of tax evasion.
- T was sentenced to 4 months’ conditional imprisonment with community service and fined 400,000 DKK, with consideration given to the fact that the owed VAT was paid.
- The High Court upheld the lower court’s verdict despite T’s appeal for acquittal or mitigation and the prosecution’s call for a harsher sentence.
