WEI YING-CHUNG CONVICTED OF TAX EVASION|涉逃漏稅6658萬元 魏應充一審判三年

Disgraced Ting Hsin International Group chairman Wei Ying-chung is once again in legal trouble, this time for tax evasion. The Changhua District Court has found Wei guilty of not declaring over NT$730 million in business income, resulting in NT$66.58 million in lost tax revenue. Wei was sentenced to 3 years on 44 charges, including violations of the Business Entity Accounting Act. However, the prison sentence may be converted to a fine of roughly 3 million NT dollars. Ting Hsin International Group chairman Wei Ying-chung became embroiled in a tax evasion lawsuit as a result of a tainted oil scandal involving the group. The verdict for the lawsuit has now been issued. Wei is sentenced to 3 years, which may be converted to a fine of NT$3,000 per day, while a company account is sentenced to 1 year, 10 months, suspended for 4 years, which may be converted to a fine of NT$1,000 per day. ==WANG YI-MIN Chief Judge, Changhua District Administrative Court== Operating income was not deposited into Ting Hsin's account, and was instead deposited into Wei Ying-chung's personal account at Hua Nan Bank. As a result, the tax authority was unable to account for this part of Ting Hsin's income. The court reviewed the prosecution's evidence and data provided by Ting Hsin, and discovered that part of the group's income was deposited in Wei's personal account between 2006 and 2012. As a result, Ting Hsin's income was underreported by over NT$730 million. Ting Hsin therefore was able to underpay taxes by NT$66.58 million. However, Wei's sentence was reduced as the group later paid fines and repaid the taxes. ==WANG YI-MIN Judge, Changhua District Administrative Court== There was no contention by either party over the fact that (Ting Hsin) had evaded taxes. (Ting Hsin) has also repaid all lost taxes as well as administrative fines. ==YU PEN-CHIA Ting Hsin Co.Representative== We will decided whether to appeal after consideration. Wei himself did not appear in court to hear the verdict. Company representatives said that they will decide whether to appeal after receiving the text of the decision.
