Paying taxes is an obligation that every citizen in China should actively fulfill. However, in practice, people in different industries and fields still hide their income in various ways to evade taxes. Therefore, in the second half of 20021year, many anchors with goods were punished for tax evasion. During the two sessions, some CPPCC members also suggested that it is necessary to punish Viya and other anchors for tax evasion, which played a certain warning role for other tax evasion.

Member: It is necessary to punish Viya and other tax evasion anchors.

Ma Jin, member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and full-time vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of Zhi Gong Dang, believes that strengthening the tax supervision of anchors is very important for the new economic model being transformed, and the punishment of head anchors will play a warning role and make the new economic model develop healthily and fairly. Talking about Viya and other head anchors being punished for tax evasion, Ma Jin thinks that these anchors have made high income, so they have the responsibility to pay the corresponding taxes to the state, and it is also very necessary to punish them strictly.

With the development of the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, online transactions and services have become very common. At this time, if supervision is not strengthened, it will destroy the new economic model and order that is being transformed. Therefore, the punishment for these head anchors will play a warning role and make our new economic model develop healthily and fairly.

The tax authorities should strengthen the supervision of the tax payment of live broadcast platforms and network anchors. For anchors who have seriously evaded personal income tax, they should pay back taxes and penalties and publicize them in relevant media.

Law-abiding and honesty can develop healthily.

Viya is a top anchor with great social influence. Unfortunately, she failed to set an example in fulfilling citizens' tax obligations according to law, but now she has become a negative example.

In recent years, webcasting is extremely prosperous, and there is a great momentum of nationwide live broadcast. The booming e-commerce of webcasting is supported by its basic factors close to a certain consumption trend, but as a new form of business, it still needs to be standardized, and the barbaric growth with loopholes is also fueling the situation. Among them, many webcasting practitioners evade taxes, which has attracted great attention from relevant departments and effectively strengthened tax supervision and regulation of the new economy and new formats.

State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China has specially issued a notice to clarify that if the network anchor can take the initiative to report and correct tax-related problems in time before the end of 20021,he can be given a lighter, mitigated or exempted punishment according to law. It is understood that thousands of people have taken the initiative to check and pay taxes. At the same time, the State Administration of Taxation has made it clear that those who are not thorough in self-examination and rectification, refuse to cooperate or have serious circumstances will be severely punished according to law. The incident in Viya shows that any tax evasion with luck will be severely punished according to law.

The webcasting industry is not a place of extra-legality. Every network anchor who obtains income and meets the tax payment standards should consciously pay taxes according to law. Taxes are taken from the people, and network anchors, especially those with great social influence, evade taxes, which shows that they do not rely entirely on honest management to obtain rich profits, which not only harms the interests of the public, but also brings bad demonstrations to the society and casts a shadow over the development of the live broadcast industry.

Penalty standard for tax evasion

Paragraph 1 of Article 63 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Tax Collection stipulates that if a taxpayer evades taxes, the tax authorities shall recover the taxes and late fees that he has not paid or underpaid, and impose a fine of more than 50% and less than five times the taxes that he has not paid or underpaid.

Article 201 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that if a taxpayer evades paying taxes, he shall repay the tax payable and pay the overdue fine after the tax authorities have issued a notice of recovery according to law, and if he has been subject to administrative punishment, he shall not be investigated for criminal responsibility; However, except for those who have been subjected to criminal punishment for evading tax payment within five years or have been given administrative punishment by tax authorities for more than two times.

Simply put, if he can pay off taxes, late fees and fines within the prescribed time limit, he will not be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law; If it fails to pay the taxes, late fees and fines within the prescribed time limit, the tax authorities will transfer them to the public security organs for handling according to law.
