Chapter 63 The environment is destroyed

The ingenious operation driven by interests made everyone happy, but the country suffered huge losses for it.What's even more frightening is that under the guidance of the township government's ideas of economic development and hands-on demonstrations, tax-related crimes have formed a local culture and become a "trick" for many people to get rich. The local tax order and economic environment are unprecedented. deterioration. A reporter came to Puning for an interview. As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by a group of "motorcycle boys": "Do you want fake cigarettes?"

"don't want." "Do you want counterfeit money?" "don't want." "Do you want a fake invoice?" "don't want." "Moto Boy" said angrily, "Then what are you doing here?" This is a true portrayal of the degree of chaos in the local social and economic order at that time. A reporter from Xinhua News Agency wrote an article after interviewing some areas in Chaoshan: The reporter recently interviewed Chaoyang and Puning in Guangdong and found that the reason why this area was once the hardest-hit area for tax fraud in the country was not only because criminals were driven by profit to take risks, but also because With a very complex social background...

The local government's guiding ideology for economic development is not correct enough, and there is a serious bias in understanding the problem of tax fraud.The main leaders of Puning and Chaoyang cities told reporters that in the past few years, the leadership of the local government one-sidedly emphasized the speed of economic development, and often only cared about the completion of tax targets, never caring about the source of tax revenue.The new director of the Chaoyang State Taxation Bureau said that in 2000, the city completed more than 800 million yuan in tax revenue, and 560 million yuan in national tax revenue, of which 240 million yuan was overcharged due to tax fraud.

Zheng Xixuan, the new executive deputy mayor of Chaoyang City, told reporters: "At this year's city-wide economic work conference, I strongly proposed that the city's economic development should be wrung out, and that the growth rate of tax revenue should be slowed down. An increase of 8%, and a 5% increase in finance and taxation. Two days ago, I asked the newly appointed head of the city’s State Taxation Bureau to do work, and he said it was difficult to complete.” Xie Liepeng, the new secretary of the Puning Municipal Party Committee, said that the former leading members of the Municipal Party Committee were not ignorant of the issue of tax fraud, but turned a blind eye to it, thinking that "as long as it is beneficial to the local economy, we can do anything and don't care about anything." .Influenced by this kind of thinking, some township cadres opposed national interests and local interests. In order to increase local finance and tax revenue, they supported and encouraged illegal enterprises to cheat taxes, and even "government tax fraud" appeared in some towns.

The reporter found in an interview in Puning that some local cadres still have a vague understanding of the issue of tax fraud.Some said: "The government did this out of fulfillment of taxation tasks." Others thought: "For public affairs, they got involved. It's not easy to be an official of the Communist Party." Chaoyang and Puning, located in the eastern part of Guangdong, are the most populous counties in the country, with many people and few farms, and many people have come out to run businesses.For example, the tax fraudster Huang Jindong is a farmer in Chaoyangxia County. He is 38 years old this year, but he has 7 children. In order to support his family, he tries to make money.The leader of the local government told the reporter that since the reform and opening up, the individual and private economy has developed rapidly, bringing prosperity to the city's commercial economy.However, a considerable number of people engage in illegal business operations in order to "make a fortune", causing the economic order here to be very chaotic, and various economic crimes emerge in endlessly.

Zheng Xixuan said that Chaoyang people are called "Oriental Jews".However, on the road to making a fortune, they often go astray.In the past few years, Chaoyang People's Congress was ahead of the whole province and even the whole country in producing pornographic videos, privately setting up underground CD-ROM production lines, "Mark Lottery" gambling, and manufacturing and selling counterfeit cigarettes. To rectify the market economic order here.In recent years, as the government has intensified efforts to crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as gambling, drug trafficking and counterfeiting, some people have looked for new ways.When it was discovered that there was a loophole to exploit in tax fraud, he fixed his eyes on this piece of fat again.

A shop owner told reporters that some nouveau riche openly said: "I just want to reap the country's wealth (tax fraud)." The boss of a company in Chaoyang City thought: "The quality of business owners here is too low, and they don't understand the rules of the market economy at all. , but to engage in 'pirate' economic practices." A Henan native who has rented here for 8 years said: "Chaoshan people are courageous and have many ideas for making a fortune. But it is too courageous to directly pay the country's pocket money. Already!" What Huang Xiaoshi is encountering now is the Puning economy that is like quicksand everywhere.It used to be lush with green grass and trees, but now it is full of pests and diseases, deforestation, thieves are swarming, and so on. into view...

Just like the beginning of many articles, it could have been a background description for people with lofty ideals to take action and strive for success. Who would have thought that it would become a turning point of another meaning. This is that since Xiaoshi Huang, managers have become destructive. Or, the petty theft turned into open flames, the underground tax fraud turned into the above-ground tax fraud, and the people spontaneously turned into the guidance of the grassroots government... But the truth cannot be concealed, nor can it be erased.Because Huang Xiaoshi, Lin You, He Peigong, Huang Xiaoqie and others knew the law and violated the law, they were brought to court and punished by the law for their connivance of criminal behavior; accused.

The town government participates in and even condones crimes, which is rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China. "This case fully reflects some prominent features of current crimes such as falsely issuing value-added tax invoices." Zheng Yongmou, president of the Jieyang City Court of Guangdong Province, said, "The town government and taxation authorities have colluded with criminals for the benefit of their departments and framed them. The country, evading national taxes, is typical." Zheng Yongmou pointed out: "This kind of crime is more harmful than the crime of natural persons in society. This kind of crime is not only because of the economic losses caused to the country, but also because it destroys the market economic order of our country! It also seriously affects The image of the party and the government among the people. As a first-level government, instead of safeguarding the interests of the government, it is colluding with criminals, which will make the people lose confidence in the government. This is where it is most harmful.”

The People's Court of Jieyang City, Guangdong Province issued a verdict on the quicksand case according to law: the defendants, the Puning Liusha Town Economic Development Corporation and the Puning City State Taxation Bureau Urban Center Branch, were each fined RMB 800,000 for the crime of falsely issuing special value-added tax invoices Yuan and 1.2 million yuan; the defendants Huang Xiaoshi, the former mayor of Liusha Town, Puning City, Lin You, the former director of the Urban Central Branch of the State Taxation Bureau of Puning City, Huang Xiaoqie, the former deputy mayor of Liusha Town, Puning City, and the general manager of the Liusha Town Economic Development Corporation, He was sentenced to 15 years, 12 years, and 3 years in prison for the crime of falsely issuing special value-added tax invoices; the defendant, He Peigong, former deputy director of the Finance Office of the People's Government of Liusha Town, Puning City, was guilty of falsely issuing special value-added tax invoices He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and was sentenced to 3 years in prison for the crime of embezzlement of public funds, and decided to implement 12 years in prison.

Among the Chaopu tax cases, the most impressive one is the Liusha Town case.Under the leadership of the Communist Party, in a country ruled by law, there is such a government team that beat the gongs to clear the way for criminal forces.They have no way to improve the environment and develop production, but they are very good at crooked ways, work hard, and dare to do it.The country has a "firewall" for tax fraud, and I will remove it for you; you have paid a "protection fee", and you can steal taxes at will; In the name of the town government, they bribed the superiors arbitrarily during festivals, and so on. They are all experts.A good piece of quicksand has been dug full of holes and covered with wormwood. The arrival of "807" as scheduled and the elimination of all kinds of destructive factors in one fell swoop is a blessing among misfortunes for Quicksand.
