Supreme Court replies to clarify the legal relationship of flexible labor, platform compliance development must guard against tax risk
Flexible labor platforms have always been accompanied by various types of tax-related risks in their practical development, which have more or less hindered the healthy development of the platforms. Specifically, the risks can be categorized into three types: the risk of false invoicing; the risk of helping tax evasion; and the risk of failing to withhold taxes in accordance with the law. Recently, the Supreme People's Court responded to the "Proposal on Further Improving the Rule of Law on New Employment Patterns" put forward by members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) during this year's National People's Congress. The reply put forward the reference standard of "dependent + elemental", which provides a reference for distinguishing remuneration for labor services from business income. In addition, this paper analyzes the current observed cases of platform fraudulent opening, with a view to providing a direction for the tax compliance of spiritual labor platforms and helping the healthy development of new employment patterns.2535ViewsNov. 16, 2023, 6:16 p.m. -

The composition of the crime of false issuance of special VAT invoices must comply with the principle of subjective and objective consistency, that is, objectively there must be an act of false invoicing, and subjectively there must also be an intention to defraud the tax deduction, and the loss of national value-added tax has actually been caused.

However, over the years, there have been controversies over the fact that the crime of false opening is committed by acts, by purpose, and by result, resulting in the phenomenon of different judgments in the same case.1694ViewsNov. 13, 2023, 3:53 p.m.
