Chen Zhipeng was recently exposed by a former employee of the company that he had repeatedly evaded taxes, paid more than 10 million yuan in back taxes, insulted employees, illegally dissolved the company, and defaulted on employee compensation. He later issued a statement to clarify that it was because of his ignorance of the law. He owed taxes due to negligence, but the taxes have been paid in full, and the amount is not as much as the whistleblower said.
Chen Zhipeng issued a statement on Weibo on the afternoon of the 2nd, revealing that he received a notice from the tax bureau requiring a tax inspection in September 2022. At that time, he actively cooperated with the investigation by relevant units. On September 5, 2023, he received a tax payment notice from the tax bureau. , it was paid immediately the next day, and the actual amount was not as much as the whistleblower said. Because I was not good at company operations and finance, I relied heavily on the work team at that time. The team was responsible for signing and managing work contracts. However, he thought that it was stated in the contract that the tax would be paid by the partner, and that the amount he received was the tax-deducted amount.
It was not until this tax inspection that Chen Zhipeng knew that if his partner failed to provide proof of tax payment, he would still have to pay taxes. He admitted that he had not checked the partner’s proof of tax payment due to negligence, so he owed the tax without knowing it. Taxes, he was willing to bear the consequences.
In addition, regarding the former employee who broke the news, Chen Zhipeng also pointed out that the former employee resigned on September 18 this year due to mistakes at work. The company did not hold him accountable in good faith, but the other employee maliciously fabricated falsehoods. We will report the matter to the other party and hold them legally responsible for their misconduct during their employment at that time.
