According to the indictment of the Provincial People's Procuracy, during the investigation, the authorities discovered a series of directors and executives of businesses evading taxes by purchasing input invoices from "boss" Truong Xuan Duoc.
2 powerful assistants of the 'boss' of invoice trading
The invoices are purchased to legalize smuggled goods, as well as increase the source of round-trip input for businesses to channel money.
To balance input and output invoices to evade taxes, many people have sought out "boss" Truong Xuan Duoc.
Specifically, the defendants Dang Khac Thanh (Truong Xuan Duoc's nephew) and Ha Thi Bich Nhan (Duoc's accountant) acted as intermediaries to buy illegal invoices from the "boss". Thanh and Nhan then resold them to others at a higher price to profit from the difference.
At the time of his arrest, the authorities determined that the total number of invoices Thanh illegally traded and must bear criminal responsibility was 850, illegally profiting more than 1.7 billion VND. The total number of invoices Nhan illegally traded was 104, illegally profiting more than 400 million VND.
The indictment of the People's Procuracy of Quang Ninh province also showed that in 2010, Thanh was assigned by the couple Duoc - Ngoc Anh to act as an intermediary to find customers, then notify the "boss" couple to write invoices, draft contracts, and transfer money to the bank to legalize. During the transaction process, Thanh carried out all transactions with customers via phone and social network Zalo.
In 2018, Thanh also bought invoices from Truong Van Nam, also a nephew of Duoc, the manager of Nam Trang Trade Construction Development Joint Stock Company.
From Nam's invoice source, "broker" Thanh resold it to customers with a difference of 0.4% of the total value written on the invoice.
The investigation agency also determined that Thanh also bought invoices from many other businesses such as Khanh Dung, HACO 6, Kim Khi Truong Thanh... Thanh sold these invoices to 33 companies located in Hanoi .
Meanwhile, Ha Thi Bich Nhan bought invoices from many "ghost" companies of Duoc and his wife to resell to 31 different companies in Hai Duong and Hanoi provinces to earn a difference of 0.3% of the total value of the goods.
For the above acts, Thanh and Nhan were prosecuted by the People's Procuracy of Quang Ninh province under Article 203 of the Penal Code.
