The reporter learned from the State Administration of Taxation on December 17 that the tax departments of Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Liaoning and other places announced on the same day 3 tax-related illegal cases involving platform enterprises investigated and dealt with in recent years. This is the first time that the tax department has focused on exposing tax-related illegal cases involving Internet platform companies. Judging from the content of the notice, the “Liangtuan” online trading platform developed and operated by Zhejiang Liangtuan Network Technology Co., Ltd. deliberately included platform service fees that should have been recognized as revenue into the “other payables” account through the accounting category, artificially created the illusion of low capital flow, and promoted labor remuneration to evade personal tax withholding and payment through personal account payments, and carried out “double tax evasion.” The online freight platform is “born out of nothing” of DiDi Technology Development Co., Ltd., fictional transportation business chain, packaging “authenticity” by falsifying contracts and purchasing relevant trajectory information, and exaggerating invoicing. The flexible employment platform Liaoning Hezhong Easy Pay Technology Co., Ltd. alienates “flexible employment” into “flexible employment” through fictional flexible employment services, falsely invoicing downstream enterprises and helping them package wages and dividends into service fees to achieve the goal of withdrawing funds and not fulfilling withholding and payment obligations in accordance with the law. Currently, out of the 3 cases mentioned above, 1 case lead has been handed over to the public security authorities for further investigation, and 2 cases have entered corresponding judicial procedures. The upstream and downstream invoicing companies involved in the case were also punished accordingly by the tax authorities.
