▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation At the beginning of 2022, people who cross borders have experienced all kinds of extraordinary things. Whether it is the official notification of Amazon's black and gray industrial chain, or the crackdown on cross-border fraud dens, it means that the cross-border e-commerce industry will develop towards legality and compliance. In the new year, the official crackdown on illegal and irregular operations of cross-border e-commerce personnel has not stopped. According to Xinhua News Agency, after a series of tax-related illegal cases were investigated and exposed in 2021, at the beginning of 2022, the tax authorities made full use of tax big data to further strengthen tax supervision and tax audits, and continued to maintain a high-pressure situation of "zero tolerance" for all types of tax violations. It is learned that yesterday afternoon, the State Administration of Taxation reported five tax-related illegal cases, two of which were related to cross-border exports. Shenzhen City investigates and punishes a case of false invoices to defraud export tax rebates According to a notification from the State Administration of Taxation, Shenzhen tax authorities recently discovered, through tax big data analysis, that some companies’ export commodities had abnormal situations. In August 2021, a joint task force of tax and police launched a crackdown operation, successfully destroying five criminal gangs that used "LED lights" and other products to falsely invoice, "match orders", and tax evasion, and arrested 32 criminal suspects. After investigation, it was found that after obtaining the false VAT invoices, the tax fraud gang colluded with the "matching" company to illegally obtain customs declaration documents to defraud export tax rebates, involving 7 tax fraud companies and defrauding export tax rebates of 44.78 million yuan. At present, the case has been transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution. Shenzhen is an important center of China's cross-border e-commerce industry, with a large number of cross-border companies and practitioners. Although cross-border e-commerce has developed quite maturely in Shenzhen, there are still many irregular behaviors and chaos in this industry. It is understood that the media had previously reported that a supply chain company in Shenzhen and a cross-border e-commerce company in South China City were fined heavily by relevant departments for tax evasion. As more and more illegal cases emerge, sellers should be more aware of the importance of complying with laws and platform rules, and make legal regulations the first rule of business operations. A relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Municipal Taxation Bureau said that the tax department will follow the work deployment of six departments to normalize the crackdown on tax-related crimes such as "fake enterprises", "fake exports" and "fake declarations", and adhere to a zero-tolerance attitude to "strike at the first sign of tax violations and crimes" to ensure national tax security, maintain economic and tax order, and optimize the tax business environment. Jiujiang City investigated and dealt with a case of false invoices to defraud export tax rebates Recently, the taxation department and the public security department of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province jointly investigated and dealt with a case of false invoices and tax evasion in accordance with the law, arrested 23 criminal suspects, and destroyed 16 criminal dens. After investigation, it was found that the criminal gang registered multiple companies, purchased used and second-hand equipment to create the illusion of false production, and obtained export tax rebates by false invoicing, under-reporting, forging contracts, buying and selling foreign exchange, etc. They falsely issued 33,230 special VAT invoices with a total value of 5.141 billion yuan, and obtained export tax rebates of 131 million yuan. The case has been prosecuted by the procuratorate in accordance with the law. A relevant person in charge of the Jiujiang Municipal Taxation Bureau of Jiangxi Province said that in the next step, the tax department will make full use of tax big data to promote the transformation of punishment for illegal and criminal acts such as false invoices and tax evasion from post-event crackdown to precise prevention before and during the event. At the same time, we will continue to maintain a high-pressure situation to crack down on tax-related crimes such as false invoices and tax evasion, and accurately and effectively crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as "fake enterprises", "fake exports" and "fake declarations". It is understood that the State Administration of Taxation not only reported the above-mentioned tax-related illegal cases, but also interpreted the national tax policies and stated that it will continue to vigorously support the development of cross-border e-commerce through tax policies. A total of 1.67 trillion yuan in export tax rebates were processed in 2021 It is learned that on January 26, the State Council Information Office held a press conference, and the State Administration of Taxation stated that in 2021, the tax department took effective measures to support the development of foreign trade enterprises, which played a positive role in the stable growth of China's foreign trade exports. On the one hand, we will continue to optimize export tax rebate services. Starting from June 30, 2021, the State Administration of Taxation will implement a new export tax rebate system across the country, launching export tax rebate services with "three reductions" and "three increases", namely: reducing export tax rebate declaration forms by one-third, reducing reporting items by one-fifth, reducing and optimizing the tax rebate process; increasing the proportion of "exempt" data items in export tax rebate declarations to 70%, adding three online reporting channels, and adding tax rebate reminders and other service functions. Through the above measures, the average processing efficiency of export tax rebate declarations has increased by 30%. In 2021, a total of 1.67 trillion yuan of export tax rebates were processed, effectively alleviating the financial pressure on enterprises. On the other hand, we will promote the development of new formats and models of foreign trade. In 2021, the State Administration of Taxation, together with the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and other departments, will further expand the pilot scope of cross-border e-commerce retail imports, conscientiously implement the cross-border e-commerce "tax exemption without invoice", export overseas warehouses, market procurement trade mode pilot, foreign trade comprehensive service enterprises to handle tax refunds and other policy measures to support new formats and models of foreign trade, and effectively play the positive role of taxation in serving the high-quality development of foreign trade. In 2022, the tax authorities will earnestly implement various policy measures to support stable foreign trade, such as reducing taxes and fees. At the same time, they will continue to accelerate the progress of export tax rebates, continue to support the development of new foreign trade formats and models such as cross-border e-commerce, and contribute tax power to promoting a higher level of opening up. It can be seen that my country's tax authorities are taking active actions and introducing various favorable policies and measures to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce, but the original intention of these measures is not to allow companies to take shortcuts and exploit loopholes, so cross-border sellers should learn more about relevant policies and regulations, avoid illegal operations, and operate legally.
