This is not new. When the GST was introduced over 25 years ago some people were caught requesting fake claims. Since then there have probably been a few cases every year on an ongoing basis. What may be new about this is the international nature of it. Have to wonder if there are similar operations involving US scammers.

There are lots of ways to scam the tax man and lots of people willing to try.
