Through the investigation work, grasping the situation in the field of exploitation, transportation, aggregation, and business of mineral resources in the area, the Bim Son town police department has discovered Duc Dat Trading and Service Joint Stock Company (referred to as Duc Dat Company) with To Duc Dung as the director, buying land rich in iron ores that are floating on the market but using invoices of businesses with addresses in Hai Duong province and Nam Dinh province to declare value-added tax (VAT), showing signs of tax evasion, so an investigation has been conducted to clarify the situation.
According to tax regulations, after selling goods subject to VAT, Duc Dat Company must declare and pay VAT corresponding to 10% of the value of goods before tax recorded on the invoices issued to other businesses. However, to reduce a portion of the tax amount that must be paid in order to misappropriate state tax money, To Duc Dung has contacted Dang Van Suy in Xuan Thuong commune, Xuan Truong district, Nam Dinh province, and other individuals to illegally buy input VAT invoices to balance the tax declaration in order to reduce the VAT amount that Duc Dat Company has to pay, causing losses to state budget revenue.
To commit tax evasion and illegal purchase and sale of invoices, from 2019 to 2022, To Duc Dung has illegally purchased 35 VAT invoices from 6 businesses in Hai Duong and Nam Dinh provinces, including goods such as land rich in iron ores, coal, transportation fees, with a total value of goods on the invoices, including VAT, of over 12.5 billion VND but without any accompanying goods or services.
In an urgent search of the registered and residential places of To Duc Dung in Lam Son ward and Dong Son ward, Bim Son town (Thanh Hoa province), the Police Agency has seized the seal of Duc Dat Company and many related documents regarding the illegal purchase and sale of invoices and tax evasion.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Bim Son town police department has initiated a criminal case, prosecuted the suspect To Duc Dung for the acts of “illegal purchase and sale of invoices” and “tax evasion”; prosecuted the suspect Dang Van Suy for the act of “illegal purchase and sale of invoices”, and continues to investigate and expand the case.
