Tax evasion refers to the personal behavior of business operators or obligors who violate tax laws, policies and regulations, use deception, concealment and other means, fail to pay or underpay the tax payable, fail to pay or underpay the tax withheld or collected, standardize the amount stipulated by law or have other circumstances stipulated by law. Tax evasion refers to the unconscious personal behavior of taxpayers who do not pay taxes or pay less taxes. For example, because they are not familiar with the tax law and financial management system, or misuse the collection rate, they underreport taxable items and underpay the total tax payment, sales and profits.

The connotation of tax evasion means that business operators forge, alter, conceal, destroy account books and accounting vouchers without authorization, or exceed budget or underreport or underreport income in account books, or refuse to declare or make false tax returns after being notified by the tax bureau, and fail to pay or underpay the tax payable, which belongs to tax evasion. Generally speaking, it refers to the purpose of paying less or not paying taxes through various illegal acts.

Tax planning is to achieve the purpose of paying less or not paying taxes by reasonable and legal means under the premise of abiding by the law and within the scope permitted by law. The key to reasonable tax saving is that taxpayers actually operate within the scope permitted by the tax law.

What's the difference between these? As I have always said, there are essential differences, one is illegal and the other is legal.

Tax evasion is a naked neglect and trampling on the tax law. As long as you pay less or no taxes, you don't care about the boundaries of laws and regulations. Tax evasion is illegal. If the tax bureau inspects the company, it is not only punishment, payment and deduction of corporate credit evaluation, but also criminal punishment. It's almost impossible to fish in troubled waters. I suggest drawing a clear line between laws and regulations without touching the legal bottom line ~

Tax planning is to abide by the law on the premise of deeply understanding and mastering the tax law, and then make use of the provisions and imperfections of laws and regulations to be effective, reasonable and legal, and pay less or no taxes locally. Tax planning is a reasonable and legal enterprise behavior, which is carried out by professional tax teachers with tax law as the carrier. We can think of tax planning as that doctors treat patients, doctors prescribe related drugs according to patients' symptoms, and tax teachers make preparation plans according to the specific conditions of enterprises, industries and regions.

Tax planning not only reduces the tax revenue for the company, improves the company's income, but also improves the company's enthusiasm, allowing enterprises to grasp the preferential tax policies from the side.
