Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / eventuelle Steuerhinterziehung
German term or phrase: Mitwirkungshandlung
Hier ist der komplette Satz:

Strafrechtlich kann sich eine Mitwirkungshandlung an einer vom Einführer, das heißt vom Käufer, begangenen Steuerhinterziehung, leichtfertigen Steuerverkürzung oder Steuergefährdung ergeben, wenn im Einfuhrland die Präferenz nachträglich verweigert und der Einführer zur Zollnachzahlung veranlagt wird.

Ich verstehe nicht mit wem der Einführer hier mitwirkt.

d) Advice on the consequences of providing incorrect details
The details we require from you are highly relevant in legal terms. Incorrect details may trigger consequences under civil law, criminal law and the law of administrative fees. Please therefore ensure that you prepare the documents with the greatest of care and subject them to thorough legal examination. An invalid supplier's declaration may for example have the following consequences:

- Withdrawal of preferential proofs issued, causing the subsequent levy of customs duty on the exported products in the country of import

- civil claims against the issuer of the incorrect long-term supplier's declaration, for example owing to the subsequent levy of customs duty in the country of import

- Punishment as a tax irregularity according to § 379 of the Abgabenordnung (AO) [German Fiscal Code] aiding and abetting tax evasion (§ 378 AO) or as a tax offence through aiding and abetting tax evasion (§ 370 AO).

If you have any doubts or queries about your details, please contact your local tax authority or chamber of trade and industry.

Fines of up to EUR 5,000 per false document

The supplier’s declaration is hence a supporting document suitable to prove tax-relevant facts. Great care should be taken when issuing a supplier’s declaration because an incorrect declaration constitutes a minor tax fraud, i.e. a regulatory offense, that may be subject to a fine of up to EUR 5,000 per false document.

In addition, the issuer may have to face recourse claims from the user of the incorrect supplier’s declaration as the preferential customs treatment may be withdrawn from the user even retroactively if, subsequently, it turns out that the respective goods did not qualify for preferential treatment. Furthermore, a user, who knows that the supplier’s declaration is incorrect, will be prosecuted for tax fraud.

  -> Thanks Susan. There is also the permutation or combination of an 'accessory before or after the fact' - the latter by no means clear, even from the wording of 'im Einfuhrland die Präferenz *nachträglich* verweigert ... wird.'
