The Latest Case Activates the “Sleeping Clause” of the Crime of Defrauding Export Tax Refunds, These Amounts are not Counted
Article 204(2) of the Criminal Law stipulates that the crime of tax evasion is to be dealt with when a person fraudulently obtains the tax he or she has paid. There is a big controversy in the field of practice about what is meant by “taxes paid”, which leads to a huge difference in the understanding between the case-handling authorities and the persons involved in the case when calculating the amount of money involved in the case as well as determining the offense in some of the cases and makes it difficult to stop the dispute. Recently, I observed that Ningbo Procuratorate issued a typical case of fraudulent export tax rebate, in which the procuratorate explicitly applied Article 204(2) of the Criminal Law and pointed out that “the tax paid in the case should be deducted from the amount of the crime of fraudulent export tax rebate”. This case has certain practical significance in defining “paid tax”, but undeniably there are still many problems that need to be further clarified. This article will take the case as an entry point to analyze and elaborate the author's viewpoints in depth for the benefit of the readers.469Views
