Breaking out!Many cargo owners and freight forwarders joined forces to evade taxes of 270 million yu

Recently, the State Administration of Taxation reported that the Shenzhen Municipal Taxation Bureau, together with the Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling, Customs Risk Control Branch, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, investigated and dealt with a case of exporting taxable goods that had not been declared for tax evasion in accordance with the law.The amount of tax evasion is as high as RMB 270 million.The cargo owners use illegal freight forwarders to customs declaration and export in the name of an empty shell enterprise, and fail to declare and pay value-added tax and other taxes in the export link in accordance with the regulations. The tax department will punish them in accordance with the law.
After investigation, Zhang and others, as real cargo owners, obtained foreign trade orders for "two highs and one capital" goods such as ferrochrome, connected in the center through illegal freight forwarding, and declared exports in the name of 10 empty shell companies including Shenzhen Xiangyun Tongsheng Trading Co., Ltd., and failed to declare and pay taxes such as value-added tax in the export link in accordance with regulations.
According to the "Tax Collection and Administration Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, the Inspection Bureau of the Shenzhen Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation will recover 129 million yuan of value-added tax and surcharges and 141 million yuan of corporate income tax paid by the above 10 enterprises, and a late payment fee will be charged in accordance with the law.It is understood that with the help of the Customs Anti-smuggling, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and other departments, the Shenzhen Taxation Bureau conducted a joint crackdown operation of multiple departments to capture all the suspects involved in the case.At the site of the network closing, the inspectors asked the suspects involved and fixed the electronic information involved in the case, and clarified the illegal and criminal facts of Zhang and others as real cargo owners hiding behind the scenes and evading taxes through illegal freight forwarders through illegal freight forwarders.According to Zhang's confession after being arrested, the illegal freight forwarding company relies on the characteristics of "two highs and one capital" products mainly exported in northern ports, playing the role of a "broker" in it and earning handling fees from it.When the real owner has illegal demand for backdoor export, the illegal freight forwarding company will connect it in the center and borrow the names of 10 empty shell companies including Shenzhen Xiangyun Tongsheng Trading Co., Ltd. to achieve the purpose of tax evasion.When the inspected person asked about the motive for the crime, Zhang also confessed that in order to evade payment of taxes and increase the difficulty of being investigated and dealt with by the tax authorities, they took the opportunity to choose to export in the name of an empty shell company that had no relationship with them.Even if the relevant shell companies were found to have tax evasion in the future, the illegal freight forwarders were connected in the center and played a "firewall" role, and it was believed that the tax authorities would find it difficult to track down the real cargo owners hidden behind the scenes.Zhang and others expressed deep regret for their self-righteous thoughts.A relevant person in charge of the Inspection Bureau of the Shenzhen Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation said that it will further play the role of the joint crackdown mechanism of eight departments of taxation, public security, courts, procuratorate, the People's Bank of China, customs, market supervision, and foreign exchange management, and resolutely crack down on illegal and criminal acts such as fraud, false invoice issuance, and tax evasion with a "zero tolerance" attitude to safeguard national tax security and create a more law-based and fair tax business environment.At present, relevant departments are further investigating and handling illegal and criminal acts such as not filing tax payments for exporting taxable goods by Zhang and other relevant personnel, and suspected of low-price smuggling of exports.Regarding the illegal and criminal acts of illegal freight forwarders, relevant departments are conducting administrative and criminal verifications in accordance with the law.Here we would like to remind all the cargo owners and freight forwarders that export goods must be legal and compliant. Do not be lucky and do not touch the legal red line.Forwarding Zhou Zhi~
