The Court of Cassation has upheld a final ruling sentencing a 52-year-old Bahraini company manager to six months in prison and ordering him to pay approximately BD 70,000 after being convicted in a value-added tax (VAT) evasion case.

The case dates back to his failure to settle VAT dues amounting to BD 35,327.319 over a period exceeding three years, despite submitting tax declarations during that time.

Earlier rulings by the Court of First Instance and the High Criminal Court of Appeal had ordered him to pay the outstanding tax along with fines, before the Court of Cassation confirmed the verdict, making it final and enforceable.
