A Surrey man is going to spend up to three and a half years in prison for tax fraud.
Mark Andrew Rosie has also been fined more than $142-thousand.
In December, he was convicted of 11 charges.
Investigators with the Canada Revenue Agency caught him manipulating the records of other taxpayers, so he could collect their refund cheques.
His victims included his friends and vulnerable addicts.
He would use a third party to obtain their personal information in exchange for drugs.
The maximum penalty for tax fraud is five years.
