The Revenue Department filed a criminal complaint with DSI against Xin Ke Yuan Co., Ltd. for using over 7,000 fake tax invoices worth more than 200 million baht

On Thursday, April 3, 2025, the Director-General of the Revenue Department assigned officials from the Regional Revenue Office 3 to file a criminal complaint with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) against Xin Ke Yuan Co., Ltd. and its board of directors. The complaint stems from a tax audit that uncovered evidence of unlawful use of tax invoices (fake tax invoices). Police Captain Surawoot Rungsai, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation, accepted the case on behalf of Police Major Yutthana Praedam, Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation.

The complaint, submitted on April 3, 2025, followed an audit conducted by Regional Revenue Office 3 on Xin Ke Yuan Co., Ltd., a company involved in producing steel bars used in the construction of the State Audit Office (SAO) building. The audit revealed that the company had intentionally used fake tax invoices or illegally issued invoices, totaling 7,426 invoices, during the period from July 2015 to March 2017, amounting to over 200 million baht. These invoices were used to falsely claim tax credits, constituting a criminal offense under the Revenue Code. According to the Notification of the Board of Special Case (No. 8) B.E. 2565 (2022) Prescribing the Nature of Crime Regarded as Special Case under Section 21 Paragraph One (1) of the Special Case Investigation Act, B.E. 2547 (2004), offenses under Section 90/4 of the Revenue Code fall within the investigative jurisdiction of DSI. Therefore, the Revenue Department has filed the complaint for the special case inquiry officials to proceed in accordance with the Special Case Investigation Act, B.E. 2547 (2004).

“This is a significant matter. Although the offense predates the construction of the State Audit Office building, it was uncovered by the joint investigation between DSI and the Revenue Department, which extended from the building collapse case. The matter will be proposed to the Director-General of DSI for consideration as a special case, given the scale of damages meets the criteria,” said Police Captain Surawoot.
