Port Elizabeth businessman Arthur Webb (43) has been sentenced to an effective 15 years imprisonment in the city's Commercial Crimes Court.
In passing sentence on Tuesday, Magistrate Johannes Claassen, jailed Webb for 15 years on each of the three counts of fraud he faced.
He was also sentenced to 15 years on one count of corruption.
Claassen ordered the sentences to run concurrently.
Webb's two businesses, which are dormant without any assets, were fined R100 000 which was suspended for five years.
Last November Webb pleaded guilty to defrauding the SA Revenue Service of more than R5m in concert with former SARS employee, Petrus Meyer.
Meyer will be tried separately.
