On June 9, there was another big news on the Internet, the well-known anchor Sun Zixuan (screen name: Emperor Shi) was suspected of evading taxes, was fined tens of millions, triggering heated discussion among many netizens.
After investigation by the tax authorities, it was found that during the period from 2019 to 2020, Sun Zixuan did not handle the tax declaration in accordance with the law and underpaid personal income tax by 1.9786 million yuan, concealed the live broadcast reward income obtained by the individual to evade personal income tax by 2.2012 million yuan, and underpaid other taxes and fees by 347,600 yuan. In accordance with relevant regulations, the relevant departments recovered taxes from Sun Zixuan, collected late fees and proposed to impose fines, totaling 11.7145 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that after the tax authorities filed the case, Sun Zixuan still had a fluke mentality, did not provide the actual situation, and tried to conceal part of the tax. It was not until the tax authorities grasped the relevant evidence that Sun Zixuan finally admitted to the problem of paying back the tax.
It is reported that Sun Zixuan is a well-known outdoor gold medal anchor, with a humorous and witty live broadcast style, often shaking the sky, and the ratings record has been refreshed repeatedly. At the same time, he is also a feng shui master, who is indeed a little talented and is loved by many netizens.
After the matter was exposed, Sun Zixuan quickly issued a long apology, saying that the tax arrears had been paid back at the beginning of the year and had never thought of concealing it.
But in this long apology, all we're seeing is sophistry. According to him, the reason why he evaded taxes was because of the lack of relevant tax knowledge, and he did not know that every anchor had to voluntarily declare 45% of personal labor income tax.
At the same time, he also said that he insisted on his original intention and did not cut the leeks of fans, otherwise the fine alone would make people ruined!
Celebrities, Internet celebrities have apologized for tax evasion more than once or twice, the basic routine is to say that they lack tax knowledge, unintentionally, but the first time they saw the apology, they did not forget to praise themselves, this Internet celebrity can really face it!
And is this really what he said? The answer is no. In major official reports, it has been clearly pointed out that it is because the tax authorities have relevant evidence, and he has no choice but to confess honestly. Among them, the live broadcast tip income obtained by the concealed individual is done with the help of intermediate companies, which shows that he does not understand the tax law, but understands too much.
Moreover, after the long apology, Sun Zixuan has strict control over the comments, which is the so-called good attitude of admitting mistakes?
What is more interesting is that the well-known anchor has revealed that he is about to retire from the network since March this year.
At the beginning of May, Sun Zixuan officially announced his retirement from the network in the live broadcast room, and also hugged his wife and cried, which made many fans feel sad, and thought that he had offended some big people, forcing him to leave the fans.
Nowadays, it is estimated that it is because he has long known that the tax evasion cannot be hidden, so he sold the tragic refund network in advance, so that he can also earn a wave of traffic. Of course, this is just everyone's speculation, no matter what Sun Zixuan's true intentions are, he who has touched the bottom line can no longer appear as an Internet celebrity.
