TORONTO, August 21, 2002 (LSN.ca) – A Toronto-area abortionist was fined $64,200 for tax evasion. On August 13, 2002 Dr. Joseph S.K. Lee pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice to one count of evading federal income taxes. Dr. Joseph S. K. Lee failed to report $303,000 of income on his income tax returns for the taxation years 1997, 1998 and 1999. The discrepancy was uncovered when Revenue Canada investigators compared Dr. Lee’s OHIP billings with the income reported on his tax returns. Furthermore, Dr. Lee overstated his expenses by $31,000 for the same period. By underreporting his income and over stating his expenses Dr. Lee evaded $85,611 of federal income taxes. In addition to the $64,200 fine, Dr. Lee must pay the outstanding taxes plus interest.
Interestingly, both the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency release and the North York Mirror which reported the news failed to mention Lee is an abortionist, calling him only a “gynecologist.” See the Custom’s agency release at: https://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/newsroom/ifm/evasion/aug/lee-e.html
