According to the provisions of my country's "National Customs Law of the People's Republic of China" and its implementation regulations, evading customs duties and taxes is a serious illegal act. The following penalties are generally adopted for customs tax evasion: First, a fine equal to twice the amount of tax evaded will be imposed. In other words, if the customs evades tax by 500,000 yuan, the fine can reach 1 million yuan. The amount of the fine is determined by the customs independently, but it shall not be less than twice the amount of tax evaded, nor shall it exceed the maximum limit. Secondly, customs tax evasion is suspected of being a crime and criminal liability can be pursued in accordance with the law. According to the provisions of our country's criminal law, the sentencing standards for tax crimes are relatively strict, and they are often sentenced to longer prison terms. In addition, the customs can also take measures such as restricting the entry and exit of tax evaders and auctioning properties until the owed taxes and fines are paid in full.
If the amount of tax evasion is huge, far exceeding twice the fine standard, what should be the punishment? If the amount of evaded duties and taxes exceeds twice the fine, you may be held legally responsible. According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, if the amount of tax evasion is relatively large, in addition to fines, criminal penalties such as criminal detention and fixed-term imprisonment may also be imposed. Therefore, when handling customs import and export business, you must strictly abide by relevant regulations to prevent illegal activities from occurring.
Tariff evasion is a serious illegal act and will be held legally responsible. In customs import and export business, relevant laws and regulations should be strictly abided by, goods and prices should be declared truthfully, and goods and prices must not be concealed or evaded from customs supervision to avoid unnecessary legal risks and economic losses.
