On the afternoon of December 20, Xinhua News Agency released the news that anchor Wei Ya had been fined 1.341 billion yuan for tax evasion.
The content writes that between 2019 and 2020, Huang Wei (that is, anchor Wei Ya) evaded 643 million yuan in taxes and other underpaid taxes by concealing personal income, fictitious business conversion income and false declarations, and other underpayment of taxes by 0.6 billion yuan. In the process of tax investigation, Wei Ya was able to cooperate with and take the initiative to pay back taxes of 500 million yuan, and at the same time took the initiative to report tax-related violations that the tax authorities had not yet mastered, comprehensively considering the above situation, the relevant departments recovered taxes on Huang Wei, collected late fees and imposed fines totaling 1.341 billion yuan.
In fact, as early as the news that Wei Ya was investigated for taxation, but at that time, Wei Ya herself did not admit or deny it, but still broadcast live as usual.
But it should be noted that Via's social platform will release the night's live broadcast room preview every day, and the last preview is on December 17, after which there has been no release of live broadcast preview for two consecutive days, the latest content is december 18 released several photos of company employees, and ridiculed barely put themselves in the middle, took a photo in the air. Now that the tax payment has been announced, it means that it may be difficult for Via to appear in the live broadcast room again, and her live broadcast career may come to an end.
However, it should be noted that tax evasion has been exposed, although Via's personal live broadcast work will be greatly affected, but it does not mean that her career will be completely ruined. Behind Wei Ya there is a big e-commerce company, that is, Hangzhou Qianxun.
Hangzhou Qianxun Company is very large, and has appeared in previous variety shows. Previously, the industry has been rumored that the selection base of Qianxun has "30 basketball courts" so large, this statement is not exaggerated at all, before the Qianxun super supply chain base has appeared in many TV programs, people who have visited it will be surprised, from this picture, it is not difficult to see that the base looks the same as shopping malls and supermarkets, there are open counters, there are independent stores, the whole management is in order.
Moreover, Qianxun is not only a star anchor of Via. As of press time, Qianxun has more than 40 star anchors and talent anchors, in addition to Wei Ya, there are Lin Yilun, Shu Chang, host Li Jing, Li Xiang and other big coffee to join, the company is also transforming into a group after becoming bigger and stronger, creating an ecological cluster covering anchor incubation base, super supply chain base, brand IP incubator and so on, empowering and blessing the anchor.
In recent years, Via has actually been insisting on doing public welfare in the form of buying in lieu of donations, but in any case, tax evasion is the wrong behavior, and the astronomical number of collecting taxes, collecting late fees and imposing penalties adds up to 1.341 billion yuan also makes people realize that it is too profitable to do live streaming, no wonder so many stars are flocking to bring goods in the live broadcast room, and even fake and shoddy goods are also insisted on broadcasting, which is indeed profitable. And Wei Ya's penalty this time will not only affect the Qianxun company, but also whether the company's star anchors, including Lin Yilun and Shu Chang, will be affected, and we will continue to pay attention to it.
Intriguingly, in a recent interview show, Via had publicly stated that she was now particularly afraid of seeing numbers, and she did not know if she had already anticipated her tax problems. What do you think of Via's punishment?
