According to regulations, each year, an organization or enterprise can only receive one car as a gift or gift from abroad. Many subjects have sought to hook up with foreign clues to make documents, asking domestic individuals and businesses to import cars in their names to benefit. This line even uses poor people in the company’s name to give them super cars (even though they don’t know it themselves).
Pham Van Tien’s house in Ha Nam is registered with Ecopark Advertising and Communication Co., Ltd
Oddly enough, most licensed businesses share the same business registration address. According to Tien Phong’s investigation, there are about 10 registered businesses at 10/13 Thanh Cong street (Tan Thanh ward, Ninh Binh city, Ninh Binh province). To decipher the confusing “headquarters” of luxury car importers, we went to the above address.Among the localities with businesses (DN) and individuals licensed to import (import) donated cars, PV Tien Phong’s team checked for years and discovered: The most are Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Nghe An, Da Nang, Quang Nam. Notably, Ha Nam Ninh Customs Department (managing import and export activities in 3 provinces of Ha Nam, Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh), although the tax revenue and annual contribution to the state budget are very low, the number of enterprises It’s also very small, but each year, it grants nearly 200 licenses to import cars as gifts.
Ms. V., the owner of the house at 10/13 Thanh Cong street, said that she is a preschool teacher, and her husband is a worker, so the family does not set up a company to do business or import cars. When asked why dozens of businesses registered their headquarters in her house, Ms. V suddenly remembered: “In the past, some strangers came to rent a sign for a few million dong/year. From the end of 2020, they unload the sea and withdraw. I don’t understand why, there are still many newly established businesses that take my home address to register?”.
The leader of Tan Thanh ward (Ninh Binh city) also confirmed to Tien Phong that there are no companies in the area as the journalist mentioned doing business or operating. The representatives in the company’s name are even stranger.
Most surprisingly, some of the representatives of luxury car import enterprises are old people 60-70 years old or just graduated high school, living in the countryside.
For example, on September 20, 2021, Ha Nanning Customs Department granted Ecopark Advertising and Communication Co., Ltd. to import a Mercedes-Benz G63 produced by Austria and a foreign partner (named SD-Design). The company’s address is recorded as “Mr. Pham Van Tien, Hoa Trung village, Tien Noi ward, Duy Tien town, Ha Nam”. The Tien Phong PV group had to search everywhere to find this village. Upon hearing the news, the village representative confirmed that there was only one young man named Pham Van Tien, born in 2000, the son of Pham Van Thoai.
Mr. Thoai’s house, built mostly of corrugated iron, is far out in the field, surrounded by fish ponds; Ducks chirping everywhere. When hearing about a company taking home addresses to import cars, Mr. Thoai’s family expressed surprise because their son, who just graduated from high school, is studying Japanese to prepare to work abroad. .
“The family belongs to a poor household of the ward, has not enough money to eat, cannot buy motorbikes, where can they start a car import company? Who gave me a car?” Mr. Thoai was shocked.
After patting his forehead for a while, Mr. Thoai’s son judged that he had previously given his identity card to a shop owner to register the owner of a phone sim. Possibly, personal information leaked from there.
According to Tien Phong’s research, it is estimated that in 2021, more than 100 Mercedes Benz AMG G63 cars will return to Vietnam as gifts. Most imported cars have a declared price of 108,000 USD (equivalent to 2.47 billion VND). For customs clearance, this car has to pay about 1.16 billion VND of import and export tax, 3.2 billion VND of special consumption tax and 689 million VND of VAT. The total value of the car after tax is 7.52 billion VND. After that, these cars were sold by showrooms for 12-14 billion VND. In the role of a person in need, PV Tien Phong went to a car showroom in Hanoi to ask to buy and learned that the Mercedes-Benz AMG 63 was being sold for 13-14 billion VND.
Revealing “ghost” businesses
Many addresses in Ha Nam and Ninh Binh were hired by a series of businesses to set the sea and then disappeared
With their own sources, the group of reporters collected license sheets to import cars. Although many individuals do not have a specific address, they are still licensed by the customs.
For example, on July 26, 2021, Mr. Pham Hong Thanh, Director of Ha Nam Ninh Customs Department, signed a license for BKH Vietnam Service and Trading Co., Ltd (No. 2 Da Tuong Street, Tran Hung Dao Ward, City). Phu Ly, Ha Nam) Imported a Lexus LX570, made in Japan. A day later, this person continued to license Giang Thanh Phuc Co., Ltd (same address as BKH Vietnam Service and Trading Co., Ltd.) to import the Lexus LX570…
When we found the registered address, Mr. D., the owner of the house No. 2, Da Tuong Street, confirmed that no company operates here. According to Mr. D., a few months ago, there were 2 people from other places to hire a sign to set up a company and then disappeared. Even now, his family can’t contact him to ask for rent. The signs with the names of the two companies were dumped in the corner of the grocery store next door.
In Da Nang, in 2020 and 2021, the Da Nang Customs Department has granted licenses for more than 350 imported cars as gifts. Notably, according to our verification, businesses (with the same address) that are allowed to import luxury cars as gifts or gifts in Da Nang in their business registration certificates have very low charter capital. Many businesses have only a few hundred million dong charter capital, but they are all given Lexus LX570 cars (priced at about 8-9 billion dong).
More surprisingly, when the reporter randomly selected nearly 20 cars donated by companies with the same address in Da Nang (licensed by this city’s Customs Department) to look up; The Traffic Police Department (Da Nang City Police) reviewed and gave the results: “There are absolutely no cars registered in Da Nang”.
Although the import license for gift cars is the second most in the country, in response to Tien Phong, Ha Nam Ninh Customs Director Pham Hong Thanh said that every year (the unit) hardly collects any tax from this item. . Because as he said, a “valid” dossier will be issued, and the enterprise will open a declaration and import it through one of the six seaport border gates according to regulations, pay taxes there (Hai Phong, Da Nang, Ba Ria- Vung Tau, Nghi Son, Quang Ninh, Cai Mep). “Here, their nature is circumventing the law, there are signs of profiteering from policies, to serve the giants in big cities, but Ninh Binh so far only has about 100 luxury cars,” said Pham Hong Thanh.
