At the same time, it posted a notice at the door of the shop to express its indignation and suspend business.

 how to evade taxes 
The tax revenue of Italy is very harsh. The tax police have many clever tips. Most of the shopping is settled by credit card, and no large cash settlement is allowed. How do these luxury brands evade taxes? 
The practice of Dolce and Gabbana is to sell the brand logo and the sub line brand D&G to Luxemburg, a holding company. The court held that the purpose of the spanaction was to avoid paying high taxes in Italy. How much is it? The court said it was a high tax burden of about 1 billion euros on royalties - about 400 million euros. In March 31st this year, the Milan court sentenced Dolce and Gabbana individuals to pay 343 million 400 thousand euros in taxes. The charge was that the value of the spanfer of trademark rights by 360 million euros was severely underestimated, which was only 1/3 of the market price. Gabbana wrote on Twitter: "being accused of false accusations is not a wonderful thing, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, we will eventually turn into a handful of loess." In June 19th, the court ruled that the accusation of "undervaluation of the spanfer price" was lifted in March 31st. By July, it had gone through the storm again. 
 Dolce&Gabbana is not an isolated case. In July, former Valentino chairman MatteoMarzotto was also charged with tax evasion and tax evasion, amounting to 71 million euros. The accused also has three people, including his sister, who will be tried at the end of the year or early next year. The reason is that in 2007, the family sold a 29.9% stake in Valentino fashion group (ValentinoFashionGroup) at a price of 782 million euros, which was operated by a company named Luxemburg, which led the Marzotto family to evade Italy's high tax collection policy in 2007. 
 even if there is a big tree of LVM group, Bulgari is not in a good position. In March 14th this year, the Italy tax police, as part of a tax avoidance investigation, seized the assets of the two brothers of the Bulgari group's founder family of more than 46 million euros: including two properties located in Rome ViadeiCondotti, and the life insurance that Bulgari top officers could enjoy, and assets of other companies worth nearly US $60 million. Italy tax department's argument is that the tax evasion of US $4 billion has been registered in Bulgari2006, and the company has registered in Holland, Ireland and other places to escape tax in Italy. 
P luxury brand in Italy can achieve tax evasion by selling shares to a foreign company or opening a company abroad. If we believe in Italy's tax department, this seems to be the case. 
 the only question is: why can't we sell the brand or set up an overseas company? 
 big escape under high taxes 
 in fact, as early as April 2011, the court had announced the acquittal of Dolce and Gabbana, but in February 2012, the Italy High Court reversed the case and reexamined it on the grounds that many of the Dolce&Gabbana's businesses involved tax evasion, which was reexamined by the end of the year. Over the years, the trial of this case shows the randomness and exaggeration of a certain child. 
 why? 
 all this has something to do with Italy's economic crisis and high taxes. 
In the P / 2012 report on government finance, the Italy Audit Commission admitted that Italy's tax burden had been increasing. However, because of the economic pressure faced by the government: the deficit target set by the European Union, the fixed expenditure of social public projects, and the worsening employment situation and consumption situation in the recession. In such a dilemma, the possibility of reducing taxes is almost nonexistent. According to the statistics issued by the European Union statistics bureau, the tax burden of Italy in 2011 was heavy, and the tax paid by Italians accounted for 42.3% of the revenue. It was second only to Belgium (42.8%) and ranked second in the 27 member states of the European Union. In 2012, Italy's public debt accounted for 127% of gross domestic product (GDP), a 6.2 percentage point increase over 2011. In Europe only Greece's public debt exceeds Italy, and Greece's public debt rate reached 156.9% in 2012. In the same period, Italy's tax burden has surpassed Finland, ranking fourth in the euro area, accounting for 44% of the gross domestic product tax burden, an increase of 1.8 percentage points compared with 2011, while the tax pressure borne by Italy taxpayers ranked sixth in the EU. But irony is that Italy is not a high welfare state. 
 in the case of rising debt rate, Italy's high taxes do not seem to get the effect of cure, but the best is only a small "flat". Italy's economy minister Saccomanni recently claimed that taxes in June and July showed a slight improvement in earnings. The minister said Italy must maintain budget discipline to maintain low financing costs and support economic recovery. It should be optimistic that the tax revenue in Italy in the first half of 2013 is consistent with the 2.9% of the year's budget deficit in gross domestic product (GDP). This is the result of Italy's reckless tax collection. 
Under the pressure of high taxes, the enterprises in Italy started a big escape. In addition to the tax evasion of these luxury brands, the industry was unable to sit on it. As the Italy industrial giant FiatIndustrial, P intends to spanfer the tax place from Italy to Britain. After completing the acquisition of the remaining 12% stake in CNH, a US agricultural and construction machinery company, it plans to set up a new company in Holland to allow tax offices to move to the UK. Corporate income tax in Britain has been declining, and it will further decline to 20% in 2015. Since last year, Britain has loosened the tax regulations of foreign enterprises, with the purpose of letting foreign enterprises set up their headquarters in the UK. 
 even ordinary people, it is not easy to live in Italy. For example, a euro 316 thousand Lamborghini pays 8400 euros a year, and luxury car owners sell their cars at low prices to avoid becoming the targets of tax police attacks, so the export of luxury cars increased by two times during the year.
