In 2026, Phase IV of the Golden Tax Initiative will strike with lightning speed, enforcing a zero-tolerance policy on fraudulent invoices and conducting full-chain audits!

There is no “exemption for small amounts,” no “exemption for hidden or undetected violations,” and certainly no “exemption for lack of knowledge”—

If you’re caught issuing fraudulent invoices—whether special or general—regardless of the amount, the consequences range from paying back taxes and fines in mild cases to the legal representative being sentenced to prison, the company going bankrupt, and a lifetime credit blacklist, with the entire family implicated!

Many business owners are panicking: invoice compliance is too complicated; they don’t understand the policies or know how to manage the process, and they’re afraid of making mistakes or falling into traps—yet they don’t have the time or energy to keep a close eye on it. Hiring a regular bookkeeping service—which only handles the books without reporting risks—still leaves hidden dangers.

Don’t panic! We address your business’s pain points head-on by offering a one-stop, full-service solution for invoice compliance. From invoice application, issuance, and review to risk assessment and compliance management, we handle the entire process and provide end-to-end support—ensuring you stay well clear of the red line of fraudulent invoicing so you can run your business with peace of mind and sleep soundly!

The export industry is in an uproar! Another shocking tax fraud case has been exposed, and the consequences are so devastating they take your breath away!

In a joint investigation by multiple departments in Fujian Province—including tax authorities, public security, and foreign exchange management—it was discovered that two export companies in Quanzhou had fraudulently obtained 41,261,400 yuan in export tax rebates through means such as issuing fraudulent invoices, purchasing invoices to match orders, and making false foreign exchange settlements!

Final Judgment: The 19 individuals involved were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 years and 3 months to 12 years; they were ordered to pay fines totaling 59.42 million yuan; the full amount of tax fraud was recovered; the company was placed into bankruptcy liquidation; and they were permanently barred from engaging in foreign trade!

In 2026, with the implementation of Phase IV of the Golden Tax System and the normalization of joint audits by eight government departments, oversight of export tax rebates will be further strengthened. There will be zero tolerance for tax fraud, and crackdowns will target the entire supply chain—leaving no room for luck!

In 2026, new policies on export tax rebates continue to be tightened, with a comprehensive tightening of three key regulatory measures: digital audits, strict cross-checking of the “three flows,” and the treatment of overdue applications as domestic sales. Export tax rebates are no longer a “sure-fire profit” policy benefit. Recently, tax and customs authorities have successively exposed four major cases of tax fraud resulting in penalties, involving massive tax recoveries, multiple individuals sentenced to prison, and companies having their tax rebate eligibility revoked — — This serves not only as a strong warning but also as a clear signal: compliance is the only foundation for export tax rebates; “easy money” leads to pitfalls, and violations result in back taxes, fines, and credit blacklisting.

“Did you get that text message?”—Starting in April 2026, a large number of cross-border e-commerce sellers in Shenzhen, Yiwu, and Dongguan began receiving notices from the tax authorities summoning them for interviews. This is not an isolated incident; it marks the official launch of the fourth round of cross-border tax compliance crackdowns. This time, the focus is squarely on discrepancies in platform data reporting.

At the end of 2025, a cross-border e-commerce company with annual sales exceeding 100 million exported a batch of home furnishings to an overseas warehouse in the United States via the 9810 model, with a declared customs value of 10 million yuan and a tax refund rate of 13%. Under the ”tax refund upon departure” policy, a preliminary tax refund of 1.3 million yuan was credited to the company’s account within four business days—a clearly visible improvement in capital efficiency compared to the three- to six-month reimbursement cycle under the traditional model.
