London: Charges of tax fraud and sending doctored invoices have been levelled against actress Sonam Kapoor’s husband Anand Ahuja by international shipping company MyUS.com.
Anand, an entrepreneur based in London, has denied the allegations, calling it ‘baseless slandering’.
It started last month, when Anand tweeted about his ‘horrible experience’ with the company.
“Does anyone know someone at @MyUS_Shopaholic – I’ve been having HORRIBLE experience recently. They are holding items improperly, rejecting formal paperwork & refusing to acknowledge any reasoning,” Anand had written.
Sonam adding, “Terrible customer service is shameful.”
Instead of acknowledging their mistake, MyUS.com went on the front foot and accused Anand of tax fraud.
“This is not a matter of customer service quality, new policies, or holding items improperly as was tweeted. Mr Ahuja misrepresented the price he paid for sneakers purchased on eBay which would result in him paying less duties and taxes,” MyUS.com wrote on Twitter.
“The doctored invoices list prices that were up to 90% less than what he paid for the goods. While our policy is to do our best to rectify any customer issues, we have a duty to uphold regulatory compliance,” the shipping company further posted.
“Put very simply, we have a legal obligation to provide accurate information when sending international shipments. Both MyUS and Mr Ahuja are subject to international export rules, and we intend to follow them,” MyUS.com concluded.
Anand hit back against the shipping company.
“You should watch your baseless slandering- you were the ones that refused to validate PDF receipts & bank statements just so you could overcharge me and hold my goods longer to earn late fees.. Anyway, I have now moved all items and closed my account. Gooooood riddance!” he tweeted.
It remains to be seen if the matter goes to court.
