"She was originally responsible for the finance of my uncle's two companies. She thought that she would hire someone else, so it would be better to ask her own family to rest assured." Vincent said that the company has three major businesses in total, including coal buying, selling coal and finance. Mouhua is independently responsible for the financial department. He and two other backbones are responsible for the purchase and sale of coal. However, he is only responsible for the general direction of these two businesses and does not care about the details. "I eat, drink and have fun every day."
2013, During the Spring Festival dinner, Vincent proposed to calculate the accounts of these years, "I estimated that I should have made 100 million yuan, but Jing Mouhua said that he only made more than 30 million yuan, and all of it was coal inventory. The results were handed over When the accounts were settled, the more than 30 million yuan in coal was gone, and it was said to be lost."
At the same time, Vincent and his wife broke up in their relationship and filed for divorce. In 2015, after Vinson hired an auditing company to audit the accounts, he reported the case to the public security agency, reporting that Jing Hua had embezzled 30 million yuan for his job. Subsequently, Jing Mouhua was criminally detained.
In 2020, the procuratorial organ reviewed and concluded that the facts of Jing Hua’s job embezzlement case were unclear and the evidence was insufficient, and decided not to arrest him. Afterwards, Jing Mouhua was released on bail pending trial, placed under residential surveillance, and his bail pending trial was cancelled.
Previously in 2019, Vincent once again reported that Jing Hua had falsely issued invoices worth more than 300 million yuan. In December 2021, the local police officially opened an investigation into the case, and subsequently Jing Mouhua and many other people were arrested. The
cover news reporter noticed that one month before being investigated, Jing Mouhua attended an event and spoke as the vice president of the Baotou Women Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce.
Jing Mouhua’s brother Jing Qiang (pseudonym) said that Vincent had taken money from the company many times during the cooperation. The audit report he made did not reflect these financial data and also hid many of Vincent’s properties, which led to the audit The conclusion is untrue.
In response, Vincent said that in addition to his own audit report, the public security organs also conducted separate audits. In February 2023, Jing Mouhua was transferred to the court for prosecution. Due to the complexity of the case, there has been no further progress so far. "Because of the false invoices, after Jing Mouhua left the company, the company was fined more than 40 million yuan by the tax department. Now we are each talking about it, and everything can be handed over to the judicial authorities for investigation."

html Falsely issued 166 million yuan in transportation industry invoices in 33 years
Multiple township government officials were involved in the case under the pressure of "tax creation"
The public prosecution agency accused Jing Mouhua of falsely issuing value-added tax invoices of approximately 116 million yuan from 2010 to 2013. Yuan, and falsely issued invoices of about 166 million yuan for the highway and inland waterway cargo transportation industry from multiple transportation companies. The cumulative amount of false invoices reached 282 million yuan.
Chen Yu (pseudonym), a financial officer who has cooperated with the investigation, said that when coal transportation and marketing companies purchase and sell coal, corresponding invoices are required at both the incoming and outgoing ends, and corresponding invoices are also required for the intermediate transportation links. Finally, taxes are paid based on the invoices. payment."The coal industry was in chaos more than ten years ago. The coal purchased by the company may come from private mines or coal mined in excess of large mines. Purchase invoices cannot be obtained for these purchases; when selling, some goods are sold to small factories or individuals, and the other parties do not If you need to issue invoices, the sales invoices in the company's hands will be left."
Chen Yu said that when coal transportation and marketing companies pay taxes, if they cannot provide purchase invoices, they will not be able to exclude costs when calculating profits, resulting in inflated profits and reduced tax payment amounts. It will be very large; if there are remaining invoices at the sales end, taxes will still have to be paid proportionally, and the company will find a way to sell the remaining invoices. "Coal enterprises will maintain the balance between input invoices and outgoing invoices by buying and selling invoices."
"Invoices in the transportation link are mainly because many transporters are individuals and cannot issue invoices. However, the tax invoice policy issued by the local government at that time was deviated. It also prompted coal companies to falsely issue transportation invoices." Chen Yu said that around 2010, in order to increase tax revenue, the Tumed Right Banner government imposed restrictions on coal companies in the region, and at the same time issued "tax creation" tasks to various township governments. Many of them The township government has set up a subsidiary transportation company and affiliated with a few trucks to issue invoices for fictitious business that does not exist. Township governments obtain tax revenue from this, and receive tax rebates for completing tasks.
Vincent confirmed that in the years after 2010, the tax burden on local towns and villages was indeed very high. In order to complete the task, the transportation companies affiliated to the townships would issue invoices at a lower tax rate than the tax bureau, in order to attract companies to issue invoices. "The enterprise pays part of the tax through invoicing, and the town government first hands it over to the tax bureau to complete the tax task, and then the banner government gives the town government a refund and reward. The Jing Mouhua case involved multiple people from two township governments."
Coal Boss Said he had no knowledge of the false invoices
The official said that "the public officials involved in the case have been punished"
"Vinson asked us for 30 million yuan and said he would not report the false invoices for the money. He is the actual controller and the person who issued the false invoices He knew about the matter and handled it, so we can't just pursue the financial affairs but not him." Jing Qiang said that Jing Mouhua admitted that he had issued the above-mentioned invoices, but did not think that he had issued false invoices, and also reported Vincent's false invoices.
Vincent denied this, saying that out of trust between relatives, the financial power of the company has always been controlled by Jing Mouhua, and he was completely unaware of the false invoices. "This case may be the largest false invoice issuance case in Baotou so far. How many other companies and township government personnel are involved in the case? In this case, I know that the deputy mayor of the township and the director of the judicial office are involved. It can be shared An investigation has been launched, and if I really have to take responsibility in the end, I will not escape." When the
cover news reporter contacted the Propaganda Department of the Tumed Right Banner Party Committee to learn about the situation, the staff said that the local economic conditions were backward, and under the historical background There are indeed many township public officials involved in the case. "It is some historical problems caused by policies. These officials were punished at the time. There are still people on duty now. They are also implementing the policies at that time and cannot be beaten to death with a stick."
For these public officials Regarding the specific handling of personnel and whether the relevant "tax creation" policies have been abolished, the staff member said that these policies have been abolished a long time ago, but the specific handling of the personnel involved cannot be verified with the relevant departments for the time being.
