Wellington: A new Zealand court on Thursday sentenced Indian-origin restaurant owners to eight months` home detention over four charges of tax evasion.
Taruun and Shetall Khurana, who own the "Indian Kitchen" restaurant in Howick, an eastern suburb of Auckland, did not declare more than 1 million New Zealand dollars ($724,665) in cash sales over a six-year period, the New Zealand Herald reported.
"These people did not declare a large number of their cash sales and under-reported the real amount of wages they paid staff. This was all done for their personal benefit," said an official.
