In order to pay less taxes, general enterprises will take some measures to allocate expenses before tax and avoid taxes reasonably. As far as I know, the shocking cases in recent years are: ① the tax evasion case of Liu Xiaoqing performing arts company; ② Tax evasion case of Haixi Chemical Building Materials Co., Ltd.; Haixi Chemical Building Materials Co., Ltd.
