Where an entity or individual other than those as prescribed in the preceding Paragraph fraudulently obtains a tax refund for export from the State, an investigation into the criminal liabilities of the entity or individual shall be conducted based on an offense of fraud, and a fine of not more than five times the amount of the tax refund which has been fraudulently obtained shall be imposed on the entity or individual. In addition to imposing a fine on an entity which has committed the offense specified in this Paragraph, an investigation into the criminal liabilities of the persons in charge and other personnel who assume direct responsibility shall be conducted based on an offense of fraud.

6. "Refusal to pay tax" means the refusal to pay tax by using violence or menace. A taxpayer who has refused to pay tax shall be subject to imprisonment or confinement with hard labour for a term of not more than three years as well as a fine of not more than five times the amount of tax the taxpayer has refused to pay. Where the case is serious, the taxpayer shall be subject to imprisonment for a term of over three years but not more than seven years as well as a fine of not more than five times the amount of tax the taxpayer has refused to pay.

In the case of refusal to pay tax by using violence which causes a person to suffer from serious injury or death, a serious punishment shall be imposed based on an offence of assault or manslaughter, and a fine shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions set forth in the preceding Paragraph.

Where a taxpayer is exempt from criminal punishment in accordance with the law, the tax authorities shall, in addition to pursuing the payment of the amount of tax which has not been paid or underpaid, or is in arrears, or the taxpayer has refused to pay, or has been fraudulently obtained, shall impose a fine of not more than five times the amount of tax which has not been paid or underpaid, or is in arrears, or the taxpayer has refused to pay, or has been fraudulently obtained.
