Danish Ministry Of Taxation Will Introduce New Legislation To Combat Tax Evasion In China

According to Berlingske of Denmark, the Danish customs handle nearly 38000 online shopping products sent from China to Denmark every day, all of which are cheap toys, cosmetics and electronic products.

According to the regulations, the minimum value-added tax for package payment from China is 80 Danish kronor. According to the survey, 9 of the 10 packages from China are below 80 DKK.

"If you buy goods in Denmark at the price of 1 DK, you will need to pay 25% VAT, but if you spend 80 DK on the Internet to purchase junk products from China, you will not have to pay a cent," said Ren e Christensen, a finance spokesman and Tax Committee member of the Danish people's party. This is a profitable advantage for Chinese online shopping companies. This is also the most unfair competition you can imagine. "

The sampling inspection at Copenhagen Airport showed that more than 1/4 of the packages from China showed incorrect value of the goods, which all reported the actual order value. An estimate by the Danish chamber of Commerce shows that China's tax evasion made the Danish Treasury lose 612 million of its Danish kronor in 2019 alone.

In view of this, the Danish chamber of Commerce recently purchased 30 commodities from Wish and AliExpress merchants for inspection. After inspection, all the checked parcels were changed to the address of the sender before entering Denmark. Secondly, 28 of the 30 parcels were found to be incorrect in value, and the commodity value of these packages should be dutiable, but they were deliberately marked below 80 DKR, or did not indicate the value of the goods. There are only two parcels indicating the correct value. Surprisingly, no invoice or order receipt is attached to all packages, so it is difficult to detect the actual payment of the consumer. It is worrying that these packages do not have the right to protect consumers' claims, product safety or goods policies.

Danish chamber of Commerce Lone Rasmussen believes that the Danish government does not pay enough attention to this problem, but the tax Secretary Morten B dskov dskov wrote to Berlingske's e-mail that she rejected the words of members of the chamber of Commerce R. He said: "we take this issue seriously. The General Administration of Customs has been checking whether there are any signs of cheating. At the same time, I am clear about the abolition of the new 80 DK threshold, which will provide more equal competition conditions. And we take this issue seriously and pay close attention to it. Next year, the government will propose a new bill, which will introduce new regulations of the European Union. According to the Ministry of Taxation, until the government's IT system can be applied to the new regulations, the Ministry of Taxation will have an alternative plan and implement it synchronously. The alternative plan will be able to handle new changes. "

"Denmark has an annual value-added tax of 200 billion dkrona, which is also an important source of revenue for Denmark. Unfortunately, we know that misrepresentation is organized crime and fraud. Therefore, VAT will be one of the areas in which the government strengthens its control. "
