On December 20, Wei Ya was recovered and fined 1.341 billion yuan for tax evasion, and then Wei Ya's full-platform account was blocked, and the official also issued a document saying that online live broadcasting and illegal foreign land, to consciously pay taxes according to law, bear social responsibilities that match its income and status.
Compared with Via, the tax problems of the stars do not seem to be as high as via's amount. But in fact, the celebrities have more ways to avoid taxes than Via. Because the income channels of celebrities are more and more complex, they directly cause their tax difficulties, and at the same time, a variety of tax avoidance methods have also emerged. For example, registering a company in a tax haven or a low-tax area, requiring producers to pay "after-tax remuneration", and even some people renouncing their nationality and setting up trusts for this purpose. Typical is the yin and yang contract, and a certain ice and a certain shuang are typical of being caught in this way to evade taxes.
There is also the establishment of a studio, similar to the sole proprietorship of a business, with relatively low corporate taxes. Coupled with local tax reduction policies, more reasonable tax avoidance can be made, such as Khorgos in Xinjiang. Before 2018, many celebrities registered a lot of studios here, and then they were all cancelled, including Xu Jinglei, Feng Xiaogang and so on.
In 2018, Wu Jing was also involved in the tax storm, he had previously registered his own company in Khorgos and enjoyed relevant preferential tax policies, and then the preferential policies were gone, and he needed to make up taxes.
Feng Xiaogang was fined 2 billion yuan for tax evasion by artificial rumors, and he also sued for this rumor, and finally won the lawsuit and received 97,000 yuan in damages.
After the tightening of tax policies in Khorgos, Xinjiang, the stars fled the area and wrote off their studios in large numbers. Then they gathered in small counties with policies, or went to Hainan. Small counties have tax incentives, which can avoid up to 20% of income tax, but this kind of shell company is illegal, easy to breed illegal behavior, so there is also a possibility of tax evasion. Liu Haoran's Xinyi Zhiyuan Film and Television Culture Studio is in Xinyi City, Xuzhou, which is his main studio, not an empty shell.
In 2018, a large number of celebrities made up taxes, which were also related to personal studios, and the original approved collection became an audit collection, and a large number of stars needed to make up taxes at that time. Screenwriter Zhao Dongling broke the news that more than 700 artists have paid taxes. At that time, the tax bureau issued a document indicating that only those who evaded taxes and evaded taxes were required to make up taxes, and would give the studio four stages of self-examination and self-correction, and if they did not make up their own taxes within the specified time, they could be characterized as tax evasion and tax evasion. According to official reports, the amount of tax reimbursement at that time was as high as 11.7 billion.
At that time, Hong Kong media reported a list of 17 people, reporting that 6 people had to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, and Yang Mi was in the first place. However, this matter was not confirmed, so it was not resolved.
Now these stars are all right, there is no exposure, they are all safe, let's not speculate. However, the media has released some details and did not name names. For example, top-notch small fresh meat, variety actors, film and television dramas, big flowers, popular couple files and so on.
At that time, the media found that there were as many as 51 companies in which Huang Xiaoming controlled or participated, 23 companies in which Deng Chao and Sun Li (Sun Li) served as executives, legal persons and shareholders, a total of 45 affiliated enterprises under the names of Wang Feng Zhang Ziyi, and 13 companies in which Lu Han served as shareholders, executives and legal persons, of which 8 were studios. Huang Bo also has 18 companies under his name.
In 2021, there is an artist involved in the tax evasion storm, that is, singer Han Lei. In September, Haenle's former broker reported that during the period of acting as an agent for Haenle's brokerage business, Haenle had "a large number of underpayments or omissions in the phenomenon of personal income tax corresponding to his income", and mentioned that he had collected materials to report to the national tax authorities. This matter has not yet come to fruition.
Last year, Zhao Benshan's Hainan Benshan Media was included in the list of violators, and for 3 years it did not fulfill its relevant obligations, which led to a blacklist of local authorities, which also caused controversy. This year, the media found that Benshan Media (Hainan) Co., Ltd. has been deregistered.
In fact, in 2015, Benshan Media was punished by the tax department for not paying stamp duty according to regulations.
Starting from Zhao Benshan's cancellation of the company, the media found that a large number of star studios were cancelled this year, and after a certain shuang was reported at the beginning of the year, the stars began to cancel the studio. In the beginning, 75 A-list artists began to write off up to 200 affiliates. Including Huang Xiaoming, He Jiong, Tang Yan, Huang Shengyi and so on.
Subsequent statistics again found that star studios have written off more than 700 this year. Wei Daxun, Deng Chao, Tang Yan, Wenwen, Zhu Zhengyan, Meng Meiqi, Wu Xuanyi, Shen Teng, Jing Bairan, Wang Qianyuan and others deregistered some of their affiliated companies.
The cancellation of a large number of studios also shows that the tax inspection is becoming more and more stringent. If the studio does have subjective and deliberate tax evasion, the tax authorities have the right to further investigate, in this case, even if the enterprise is deregistered, the tax authorities can still trace the source to recover and punish.
