Recently, the State Administration of Taxation gave a clear reply to the problem of back-checking that everyone is discussing, saying that there is no such thing.
This reassured many bosses, but soon a new unit became popular again, that is, "police and tax synthesis operation centers" have been set up in various places, such as Yunnan Yunnan Central New Area, Fujian Putian, Shanxi Changzhi, etc., which are also "police and tax synthesis" and "operation centers", which makes people very curious.
Many bosses are a little nervous after watching it, so I'll reveal it to you today.
In fact, the "operations center" established this year is relatively late.
In 2021, this liaison mechanism was upgraded, and it was named "Police Tax Synthetic Operations Center", which city was the first to be listed?
Shenzhen, the reason is not difficult to understand, the economy is developed, and there are naturally more tax-related cases.
In fact, there is another group that is advancing at the same time, that is, the "Leading Group for the Joint Crackdown on Tax-related Violations and Crimes of the Eight Departments", which has also been implemented in various provinces, and the cooperation between these two departments is estimated to be the most in the future.
Then the question arises, why do we want to engage in police and tax cooperation?
The reasons are not complicated, the main ones are the following two points:
1. Today's tax crimes are very complicated, not only involving professional tax issues, but also new situations such as cross-regional crimes, gang crimes, and high-tech crimes, which are difficult to deal with by tax personnel alone.
Moreover, the losses caused by these tax crimes are very large, the most typical ones are false issuance of special VAT invoices and fraudulent export tax rebates, so this combat center is mainly to investigate tax crimes.
2. Our previous tax violation cases were mainly based on the "Tax Collection and Administration Law", which was basically administrative punishment, but some people were said to be investigated for criminal responsibility, but the criminal liability provisions in the "Tax Collection and Administration Law" were relatively general, so there were some problems in practice, such as false invoicing in an industry and similar amounts, some of which were heavily sentenced, and some were only closed with taxes, resulting in actual unfairness.
Now that the "Tax Collection and Administration Law" has to revise this part, the joint mechanism of police and taxation is also very helpful in the actual connection of the execution of tax violation cases.
In the final analysis, the main purpose of this institution is to fight tax crimes and recover losses.
Everyone is very concerned about this institution, mainly because there is a lot of news about tax payments, and many industries are not as profitable as before, so will this institution have an impact on enterprises and the business environment?
What should I say?
Like Shenzhen, which was the first combat center to be established, the business environment is certainly first-class.
In fact, the rules are clear and unified, and everyone knows their own boundaries, which is a necessary condition for a good business environment, such as Singapore, where the strict rules and strict penalties are among the best in the world, but the business environment of others ranks among the top in the world.
Paying taxes in accordance with the law is the most normal thing, and tax evasion is abnormal, which is also the biggest unfairness to those who rely on hard work to do business.
So, you don't have to worry about these things if you pay your taxes according to the rules. This agency has nothing to do with the vast majority of people, the police force is not so idle, and they are all catching big and important cases.
In fact, all over the world, the combination of police and taxation is a major trend.
The most typical is the United States, the United States has money, and a big reason is that it has the strongest tax office in the world.
How tough is the IRS?
In addition to its normal tax collectors, it has its own armed forces, tax courts, and prisons. Many Americans are not afraid of the police, but they are afraid of the IRS.
It has something to do with its origins.
In the American Civil War, Lincoln's Northern Army was short of funds, and it had to be taxed, but the tax was very difficult to collect, because since the founding of the United States, it has been a gun per person, you knock on the door to collect taxes, and the gun over there will come out with your head, so what else will you collect?
As soon as Lincoln saw that it couldn't do it, he set up the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS for short, and gave them the power to collect taxes by force from the beginning.
Collecting taxes with a gun is much better than collecting taxes with a mouth, so this habit has continued to this day.
The name of the IRS is also played, and the masterpiece is to capture the black boss Alcapone.
Capone is the black boss of Chicago, most of the casinos, bars, and venues are his, of course, this guy is also black and white, no one dares to provoke, and then the Irish are not convinced, and he grabbed the territory, so on Valentine's Day in 1929, he came to an execution-style massacre of the Irish gang, and sent his subordinates to disguise themselves as police officers and kill 7 Irishmen with machine guns.
This case was very sensational, and the American police and the FBI thought that he did it, but this Capone was meticulous and investigated for several years, and the FBI did not get any evidence that could punish him.
Until one day, the IRS commissioner heard that Capone had never filed his taxes, and immediately sent an undercover agent to sleep for three years, and finally got evidence of Capone's tax evasion and sent him to prison, a case that made the IRS famous in the United States.
In the decades since, the IRS has become a nightmare for many people.
For example, after Michael Jackson died, his heirs said that the estate was only more than $7 million, how could this deceive the IRS, they had already found out that the estate was at least $1.1 billion, so they did what they did, collected $500 million in inheritance tax, and fined $200 million by the way.
Another example is Puneps, who played the blade warrior, who was more floating after becoming popular, and even falsified accounts to evade taxes, and was sent to prison by the IRS for three years at the peak of his career.
In the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", Andy also relied on his tax filing skills to become the favorite of prison guards, which is a reflection of real life, which shows their great influence.

In the past two days, the IRS has said that in the past few years, the amount of tax avoidance by the rich in the United States has exceeded 160 billion US dollars, and at least 50 billion US dollars of this is problematic and must be taken back.
Because an iron rule of the IRS is: all income must be taxed!
Some Americans said, I'm not an American, see how you collect taxes?
It's very simple, you give up your American citizenship, you have to collect national taxes, it's very expensive, do you think this is the end? Ten years after the renunciation of citizenship, as long as any of your income is related to the United States, you must also pay taxes as required by American citizens, and you must not lose any of it.
The most perverted thing about the IRS is that legal income is taxed and illegal income is taxed.
He doesn't care about money laundering or drug trafficking, but you have to pay taxes on the money you earn from doing these things.
On the IRS tax filing page, there is a section dedicated to guiding illegal income earners on how to file taxes, such as teaching drug dealers how to pay taxes, and if you pay the money, they will not report drug trafficking to the police, but if you don't pay, you will definitely be put in jail.
Like the rise of zero yuan purchase in recent years, it doesn't matter if you smash and rob, but you must not pass the tax level, you have to declare and pay taxes according to the market price of these goods, if you say I don't want to pay money, then you will send things back to others, otherwise, just wait for the tax police to come to the door.
They certainly can't be copied in our case, but ah, the method of many people who made a fortune by tax evasion in the past will not work.
Because the current scientific and technological means and big data are developing too fast, in addition to the ID card in the future, everyone will have one of the most important numbers, that is, the taxpayer identification number, all income and consumption, and expenditure scenarios are remembered clearly, and it is more difficult to pay less taxes without paying taxes.
You get the idea, right?
