Core Viewpoint - The investigation reveals widespread cheating practices at gas stations in China, where operators use sophisticated software to manipulate fuel dispensing and evade taxes, significantly harming consumers and undermining market integrity [1][16]. Group 1: Cheating Mechanisms - Gas stations have been found using modified fuel dispensers with tampered mainboards, allowing them to cheat customers by delivering less fuel than paid for [3][7]. - A hidden computer system was discovered that controls the fuel dispensing software, enabling operators to set parameters for theft, such as stealing 2 to 9 liters per 100 liters sold [5][7]. - The software used for cheating is capable of hiding the actual sales data from regulatory authorities, allowing gas stations to report significantly lower revenues for tax purposes [11][14]. Group 2: Tax Evasion - Gas stations utilize the same cheating software to manipulate tax reporting, allowing them to evade value-added tax and corporate income tax by underreporting sales [11][16]. - Investigations revealed discrepancies between reported and actual sales figures, with one gas station hiding nearly 800 million yuan in revenue over three months [14]. Group 3: Regulatory Response - The market regulatory authorities are intensifying efforts to combat these cheating practices, employing advanced technology and conducting targeted enforcement actions [18]. - A comprehensive regulatory framework is being developed to address the entire supply chain of cheating, from software development to operational violations, aiming to deter illegal activities effectively [18].
