Chapter 5 The pain in the heart of "Old Chaoshan"

Chaoshan is located in the east of Guangdong Province, adjacent to Fujian, and was also called Chaozhou in ancient times.With the rise of Shantou in modern times, Shantou and Chaozhou have the same name, so people used to call Chaozhou Chaoshan.After many evolutions, modern Chaoshan is divided into four prefecture-level cities in terms of region, namely Shantou, Chaozhou, Jieyang and Shanwei, which are also called Eastern Guangdong by custom.Among these four cities, especially Jieyang City and Shantou City, the false opening and tax fraud are the most serious. It stands to reason that it is enough for the top tax management department - the State Administration of Taxation to crack down on tax fraud in a region. Why do we have to use the power of the state?Isn't this killing a chicken with a bull's knife?However, anyone who knows Chaoshan knows that it has been frozen for three feet, and it cannot be shaken by a law enforcement agency. In this regard, Han Qiu, who is known as the "Old Chaoshan", has a deep understanding.

Han Qiu is from Qinghai, and the vast land in the northwest has nourished her open-minded, straightforward, simple and generous character.At the same time, she is a woman full of enthusiasm and vitality.On her dignified face, there is a pair of warm and sharp eyes. Since being transferred to the Import and Export Tax Management Department in 1994, Han Qiu has led a team to the Chaoshan area for inspection almost every year. In 1994, the State Administration of Taxation received a call reporting that an enterprise in the Chaoshan region had declared the export of hundreds of millions of garments, while the population of the country where the garments were sold was less than 50 million.The General Administration sent Han Qiu and others to investigate, and it turned out that the situation was true.

At the beginning of 1995, the State Administration of Taxation organized a special investigation team, led by Han Qiu, to Chaoshan to conduct a major inspection of export tax rebates based on the investigation results of local taxation bureaus.During the two inspections, Han Qiu saw rampant tax fraud in the Chaoshan area. In 1997, Han Qiu was transferred from the Import and Export Tax Management Department to the Inspection Bureau as the director, responsible for the inspection of import and export tax-related cases.This year, Han Qiu was sent by the General Administration to Chaoshan to investigate the case.

The case Han Qiu was in charge of investigating was a case involving a deputy to the National People's Congress in Chaoyang City, Shantou, who was suspected of committing a crime involving value-added tax invoices.After Han Qiu arrived in Chaoyang, together with more than a dozen inspectors she brought with her, after more than half a year of investigation and evidence collection, it was verified that the deputy to the National People's Congress let others falsely issue input value-added tax invoices for him of 1 billion yuan, and the tax amount was 170 million yuan. Han Qiu increasingly felt the seriousness of Chaoshan tax fraud.She also felt that there seemed to be a strong black and white forces in the Chaoshan area who were entangled with tax fraud enterprises, which made it more difficult for the State Administration of Taxation to investigate tax fraud, and sometimes it was even difficult to carry out.

Han Qiu went to the Chaoshan area for an inspection, and what she remembered most was the time at Jieyang and Puning. It was the summer of 1999. The State Administration of Taxation learned from the customs that clothing exports in Chaoshan area were abnormal, and the growth of export goods was several times higher than that of foreign ports.At the same time, the General Administration has also learned from relevant parties that after many domestic goods declared for export are shipped abroad, they are not sold to the market after customs clearance, but some goods disguised with garbage are thrown to foreign shores, and then the remaining few finished goods are resold. Packaging, forged as imported goods shipped to the country.

After the State Administration of Taxation learned of this information, it immediately asked the Inspection Bureau to send personnel to the Chaoshan area to inspect the import and export enterprises. The Inspection Bureau sent Han Qiu to lead a team to Chaoshan. After arriving in Chaoshan, Han Qiu chose Jieyang City and Puning City under the city for key inspections.When checking the input value-added tax invoices in Jieyang City, they found that many invoices were issued from Jiexi.Jiexi is a county in Jieyang City, in the west of Jieyang City, more than 60 kilometers away from Jieyang City, it is a relatively poor mountainous area.Han Qiu asked two inspectors from the inspection team to go to Jiexi to verify the authenticity of the input invoices, while he himself was in Jieyang City to direct the inspection of commercial enterprises.

The two inspectors had been in Jiexi for less than two days before they called Han Qiu and said, "Oh, Office Han, there is no way to check the companies here. If we go there, we can't find the company or the boss is not here. We are here today." We’re not there every time we go, and we won’t be there tomorrow. We’ve been there more than a dozen times in a row, but we’re not here…” Han Qiu said on the phone: “You go to the National Taxation Bureau to check the tax information of these companies!” The inspector said: “ We went, we went to the National Taxation Bureau to check the tax information, but we couldn’t get it out at all.” Han Qiu asked: “Why?” The answer was: “The person in charge of the information is not here...”

Han Qiu got a little annoyed and said, "Don't worry, we will go to Jiexi tomorrow!" The next day, Han Qiu brought the inspectors to Jiexi.After Jiexi's leaders knew about it, they organized several teams to welcome Han Qiu and his party. The ceremony is quite grand, but there is a murderous intent in the bones.As soon as the leader of the county met, he said, "Oh, how dare you come to our place?" Han Qiu said, "Why can't you come?" The leader said, "You don't know, we went here But they fight guerrillas!" Han Qiu said seriously: "That was in the past, isn't this the Communist Party's world now!" The county leader hesitated for a moment and said, "You are here, you had better not live here..." After explaining the purpose of the trip to the county leaders, Han Qiu said: "It's my problem whether I can't live. I'm here mainly for tax inspections. You leaders are very busy with your work. You can take care of your work. What's the matter?" Well, let's talk about it later..."

Seeing what Han Qiu said, several big teams in the county exchanged a few words and left. After the county leaders left, some leaders of the Jiexi State Taxation Bureau stayed.Han Qiu closed the door and said to Director Huang of the County State Taxation Bureau: "Director, how many years have you worked here?" Senior, I don't know if I should say something or not." Director Huang stared at her blankly.Han Qiu slowly reasoned with him: "The comrades in my group have been here four or five times, but they have never seen the boss of the company. Check the company's registered address, either on the side of the road or in a residential building But when I went to the side of the road and looked, there was nothing there. I asked the guide, and he said that the road was demolished for repairs; I asked the common people, and they said that they had never seen a business here; Everyone said yes, but I asked you for company information, and you said that the person in charge of the information is not there..." Director Huang pretended to listen carefully.Han Qiu's tone suddenly became severe, and said: "I'm asking you, is there any problem here, you have to weigh it carefully!" Director Huang hesitated and said: "Ah...we have no problem here...no problem, indeed It’s because he’s not around.” Han Qiu stared wide-eyed, and said, “How could it be such a coincidence? Your people either vomit blood today, or break their bones tomorrow, why does it happen every day?” The head of the tax bureau moved his mouth, I didn't reply.Han Qiu said in a word: "You are an old man, let's analyze the situation in the whole country. The year before last, the Party Central Committee and the State Council organized a crackdown on smuggling. Last year, they cracked down on fraudulent foreign exchange. Maybe next year we will launch a nationwide crackdown. Tax deception. If the cover of tax deception in the Chaoshan area is lifted here, I think you can’t afford this responsibility!”

Director Huang's face turned pale and blue as he listened. Han Qiu went on to say: "You have been working for so many years, don't draw the end of your life on a gun. You should think about it carefully." Han Qiu saw Director Huang's sweat dripping down, and then Said: "My words today may be a bit harsh, but I am good to you and to our bureau..." After a while, Director Huang said: "Chu Han, you... the legal representative of the enterprise you are looking for I'm here, do you want to meet?" Han Qiu said: "Don't say whether I will see you or not, at least your attitude is wrong. You didn't go out the door, didn't pass the second door, and didn't make a phone call, but said this person was here. You To be honest, does this company really exist?" Director Huang tremblingly said: "Yes, there is..." Han Qiu said: "Well, you call the legal representative of the company, and we can talk."

The Director of the Internal Revenue Service went out for a while, and actually found a legal representative of the company.But Han Qiu and the others saw that she was an illiterate old lady. Not only did she not understand anything, she couldn't even tell her own name.Han Qiu said very unhappy, you hired me such a person to deal with it, I will remember... Now let's check the tax invoices issued by you.As a result, all taxes paid by the tax bureau are paid in cash.It turned out that their taxes were all collected in cash, with hundreds of thousands or millions of them sitting there.Han Qiu said, according to relevant regulations, this is absolutely not allowed!Why don't you collect taxes here through bank accounts?Director Huang faltered and couldn't tell why.Han Qiu asked, where is your financial planner?Director Huang replied that he was doing something in the mountains.Han Qiu asked suspiciously, what ritual?Director Huang saw that Han Qiu didn't understand, so he talked about what is called Dharma with great interest. It turns out that some local people are superstitious. Whether you are marrying a wife and having children or the death of an old man, etc. weddings and funerals, or house distribution, building, housewarming, long-distance travel, and daily trivial matters, you must find a feng shui master or a linen fortune teller to see a private house , a mansion, or marrying a wife, moving house, etc., let them choose a good day and auspicious day.The Chief of the Planning and Finance Section Director Huang was talking about was just catching up with the unit allocating him a new house. He wanted to ask Mr. Yin Yang to see the Feng Shui of the new house, so he asked Director Huang for leave to go to the mountains to practice. Han Qiu said, I don't care what he does, you must find him!Director Huang pretended to be embarrassing and said that he really couldn't come today, because his family really did something!Han Qiu said, the section chief has gone to do business, what about the deputy section chief?Director Huang also pretended to be helpless and said that the deputy chief was not there either.Han Qiu asked, where are you?Then let's go directly to the accounting and financial stocks.As soon as she went out, she saw a man standing at the door, looking furtive, which startled her.Han Qiu asked, what do you do?The man whispered, I'm a financial planner.Han Qiu asked again, what do you do as a financial planner?The answer is the Deputy Chief.Han Qiu pulled him to Director Huang and asked, who do you think he is from the accounting department?Director Huang blushed and said, oh, why are you here?I've been looking for you all morning, why didn't I find you?When Han Qiu saw Director Huang staring and talking nonsense, he became very angry. After investigation, it was found that there was indeed a serious problem in this bureau.
