Unveiling a Five-Layer Fake Invoice Network: Tax Evasion and Punishment in Lianyuan City

  • Lianyuan Loulian Financial Management Co. and its controller Xie Jiuhua colluded with tax officials to issue 504 fake VAT invoices via 29 shell companies, involving 260 million yuan.
  • The operation used a five-layer network including intermediaries and tax staff, with fake companies rapidly registered and closed to evade detection.
  • The fake invoices were sold to Wuhan Ruiqi Bioengineering Co., which used them to inflate costs and evade corporate income tax; funds were laundered through multiple transfers and returned to the company’s controller.
  • Authorities confiscated 9.55 million yuan in illegal gains, prosecuted key individuals, and blacklisted the involved financial company.
  • The case was uncovered through big data analysis of abnormal invoicing patterns among 70 “guerrilla” companies, revealing a sophisticated, multi-layered tax fraud network.
