"[Civil] rights researcher Wu Chih-Chung identified the root cause of unjust tax cases in the system of bonuses paid to tax bureaucrats who hastily impose ill-founded tax bills. Wu said that this is a legacy of the White Terror, where alleged Communists were arrested, tortured, and often killed after being reported to the authorities by whistleblowers who then received as bonuses a part of their victims’ confiscated assets. This system caused the death of many innocents and continues in the shape of bonuses that lead to the fabrication of false tax bills, Wu concluded."
