During the theme presentation session, Lawyer Hao Hao from Longan Guangzhou, with the theme “The Twist in Tax-related Criminal Justice: New Trends in Corporate Risk Management”, analyzed in depth the shifts in judicial views on tax-related criminal justice and their derived impacts. Lawyer Hao Hao combined typical cases and criminal trial references issued by the Supreme People’s Court since the implementation of the 2024 “Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases Related to the Disruption of Tax Collection” to explain the changes in judicial approaches and reasoning in handling tax-related criminal cases, especially in cases involving “falsification of special VAT invoices”, “tax evasion”, “illegal sale of special VAT invoices”, and “falsification of invoices”.
Finally, Lawyer Hao Hao, based on the experience of handling four types of tax-related crisis cases, pointed out that the new judicial perspectives provided by the highest judicial authorities offer new opportunities for taxpayers to protect their legal rights. It is inevitable for enterprises and individuals to move up the defense against tax-related criminal risks. It is necessary to adapt to the digital tax era and break free from outdated methods, allowing the professional value of compliance to help ensure stable and long-term operations.

Lawyer Zhang Bo from Longan Foshan, from a perspective of integrating law, finance, and taxation, with the theme “Key Risks and Compliance Controls in Civil and Commercial Areas from the Perspective of Integrated Law, Finance, and Taxation”, started with practical business operations and analyzed in depth high-risk legal and tax matters, as well as invoice-related legal cases. He systematically analyzed the new trends in the identification and handling of tax-related issues by tax authorities and judicial authorities in areas such as equity transactions, contract performance, and invoice management.
Finally, Lawyer Zhang, based on the cases he handled, pointed out that corporate compliance control should be carried out throughout the entire process, from top-level design, transaction structures, contract terms to internal management, to establish a regular and integrated risk management system that integrates into business processes, providing clear guidance for enterprises.
This salon, through professional legal interpretation and practical sharing, not only helped the participating enterprises understand the new trends in tax-related justice in 2026, but also provided strong intellectual support for enterprises to operate complying with regulations in a complex regulatory environment.
