He didn't pay £725,000 of VAT that he should have.
Mohammed Ameen Mirza, 58, filed bogus declarations for his store in Glasgow's Gorbals and another in Cambuslang, Lanarkshire in April 2014.
Mirza - an influential businessman in the Scottish Asian community - has been photographed in the past alongside former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and ex-Labour MP Mohammed Sarwar highlighting charity projects the politicians were part of.Mirza pleaded guilty to submitting VAT returns to HMRC which were false and not an accurate reflection of sales.
The deadline was pushed back on numerous occasions and the submissions were finally made in April 2014. After search warrants were granted in October 2015, sales and business records were trawled through by officials.Mr MacDonald said:"An examination of the till data and other documents revealed the accurate value of the sales should have been declared in the sum of £9,467,167.The total amount of VAT due from the sales of"supermarket products" was £1,266,955.
