Episode Details

Auckland builder Christopher Allan Mankin got six months of community detention and over $22,000 in reparations after trying to dodge $40,000 in unpaid income tax and GST — a repeat offense he’d already been caught for in 2019. Despite clear evidence of steady income from his construction work, he kept evading taxes until the courts finally stepped in. The judge showed some leniency by reducing fines by $3,000, but required 150 hours of community service to help him pay back the debt at $70 a week — a stark warning that tax evasion, especially when habitual, won’t go unpunished.
