The business had been deregistered, and the owner was nowhere to be found—but the tax authorities tracked him down and fined him 9.71 million.“The store’s been shut down—they’re not going to come after me now, are they?”
This is a thought that many online store owners keep to themselves.
Ren Wei, the actual operator of a cosmetics online store in Liaocheng, feels the same way.
In July 2024, he closed his business. No one could be found at the registered address, and the phone number was disconnected. It was as if he had vanished without a trace.
But he was dug up anyway.
The tax authorities obtained his bank transaction records—from two accounts, totaling more than 30,000 transactions—all of which were payments from e-commerce platforms.
The platform sales figures, the amounts deposited into the account, and the number of shipments made by the store—when these three sets of data were cross-checked, they all matched perfectly.
Ultimately, Ren Wei was ordered to pay back taxes, late payment penalties, and fines totaling 9,712,900 yuan.
