Zhang Heng was fined 32.27 million yuan, 27,000 hours of remuneration for 100 Hengdian group performances, and the remuneration for nearly 27,000 hours of 100 Hengdian group performances, the total remuneration of the two people needed to pay more than 330 million yuan, and there was a 20 million yuan loan lawsuit Zhang Hengruo refused to pay the fine or was extradited back to China, facing criminal liabilities such as fixed-term imprisonment

On October 18, Zhang Heng was also fined 32.27 million yuan after Zheng Shuang was fined 299 million yuan for tax evasion.

The First Inspection Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation reported that Zhang Heng, as the agent of Zheng Shuang's participation in the "Ghost of a Woman" project, helped Zheng Shuang evade fulfilling his tax obligations. Taking into account the facts of the violation, Zhang Heng was fined 0.75 times the amount of tax evasion (43.027 million yuan) by Zheng Shuang in the "Ghost of a Woman" project, totaling 32.27 million yuan.

The fine of 32.27 million yuan, although not as high as Zheng Shuang's 299 million yuan, is still a large expense. Next, Nandu Big Data Research Institute will work with you to calculate the account.

The fine of 32.27 million yuan is 8.7 times of Wu Lei's annual salary, <h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > is the salary of nearly 27,000 hours of group performances by 100 Hengdians</h1>

What is the concept of the 32.27 million yuan fine that Zhang Heng was sentenced to?

At present, Wu Lei, the only football player in domestic football who plays for the five major league teams in Europe, has an annual salary of 500,000 euros in Espanyol, equivalent to about 3.71 million yuan. Excluding other income such as training subsidies, bonuses and advertising endorsements, Zhang Heng's fine is equal to 8.7 times Wu Lei's current annual salary.

Look back at the film and television industry. According to the statistics of Maoyan Professional Edition, in 2020, the three online movies with the highest cumulative sub-account box office on the iQiyi platform are "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth of Ghost Blowing Lights", "Qimen Dunjia" and "Sniper", with annual sub-accounts of 35.115 million yuan, 34.483 million yuan and 34.323 million yuan, which are not much different from Zhang Heng's fines.

For ordinary people, this fine is a heavy burden. In September 2020, the Hengdian Film and Television City Actors Association issued the "Trial Notice on Modifying the Charging Standards for Actors", which piloted the new charging standards for extras: the charging standards for extras were increased from the original 100 yuan for 10 hours to 120 yuan for 10 hours. 32.27 million yuan is equivalent to the cumulative remuneration of 100 Hengdian actors for nearly 27,000 hours of performance, equivalent to more than 1120 days. That is to say, 100 group performers had to work tirelessly in various crews in Hengdian for more than 3 years to earn back the fine. You know, even high-quality film and television series such as "Langya List" and "The Pretender", the shooting cycle is only about three months.

<h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > the two together need to pay more than 330 million yuan</h1>

<h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > there is a loan lawsuit of 20 million yuan</h1>

As early as August 27 this year, the State Administration of Taxation released the news that after receiving a report of Zheng Shuang's tax evasion in early April, the First Inspection Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Taxation Bureau found that Zheng Shuang did not declare his personal income of 191 million yuan in accordance with the law from 2019 to 2020, evaded taxes of 45.2696 million yuan, and other underpaid taxes of 26.5207 million yuan. Subsequently, the Shanghai Taxation Bureau made a decision to punish Zheng Shuang for recovering taxes, collecting late fees and imposing a total penalty of 299 million yuan in accordance with the law. With the release of the punishment of Zhang Heng, the two need to pay at least 331.27 million yuan in this tax evasion case.

In addition, there is a loan lawsuit involving 20 million yuan between the two. In November 2019, Zheng Shuang sued Zhang Heng for repaying the loan of 20 million yuan and the interest payable after the deadline. At the first instance, Zheng Shuang won the lawsuit, but Zhang Heng was not satisfied and filed a second trial. In April 2021, the results of the second instance trial have come out, and zheng Shuang is still winning the case. Subsequently, Zhang Heng quickly spoke out on social platforms, saying that he would continue to appeal.

What will happen to Zhang Heng, who is currently in the United States, if he refuses or is unable to pay back his taxes?

According to Article 201 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, if a taxpayer uses deception or concealment to make a false tax declaration or fails to make a declaration, and evades the payment of a relatively large amount of tax and accounts for more than 10% of the tax payable, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and shall also be fined; Whoever is in a huge amount and accounts for more than 30 per cent of the tax payable shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.

Once the above situation occurs, Zhang Heng, who is in the United States, may first be extradited back to China for trial. First of all, the criminal acts and results of his suspected crimes occurred in our country, and according to the principle of territoriality of the criminal law, our country has jurisdiction over him and can be tried in accordance with the law, including the imposition of criminal punishment.

Second, the extradition of China and the United States must meet two basic conditions: First, it is considered a crime to evade taxes in both the country and the country in which it is located. This is true, whether in China or the United States, there are legal provisions on tax evasion. Second, the penalties of both countries can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than one year or other heavier punishments for the crimes referred to. Undoubtedly, Zhang Heng's case meets these conditions.

In this case, Zhang Heng had not been given an administrative penalty or criminal judgment for tax evasion before this, and if he refused to pay the amount of tax evasion within the prescribed time limit, after being extradited back to China, he would face 3-7 years of imprisonment and a fine due to the serious circumstances of the crime, and he would also have to make up for the amount of tax arrears and interest calculation late payment.
