Caught and fined 13.59 million yuan, online anchor Wu Chuan evaded taxes
According to the website of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Tax Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation, in the early stage, the tax department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region discovered through analysis that the online anchor Wu Chuan was suspected of evading taxes. After being prompted, urged to rectify, and given warnings through interviews, Wu Chuan still refused to cooperate with self inspection, rectification, and payment of taxes, and thus carried out tax inspections in accordance with the law.
After investigation, Wu Chuan obtained income from online live streaming from 2018 to 2021, but failed to file tax declarations in accordance with the law and underpaid personal income tax by 8.2791 million yuan. Among them, he falsely declared and evaded personal income tax by changing the nature of his income, totaling 3.6218 million yuan. The Third Inspection Bureau of the Taxation Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations such as the Personal Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China, the Administrative Penalty Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Tax Collection and Management Law of the People's Republic of China, has imposed a total of 13.5908 million yuan on Wu Chuan to recover taxes, impose late fees, and impose fines. Recently, the Third Inspection Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Taxation Bureau has issued the "Tax Handling Decision" and "Tax Administrative Penalty Decision" to Wu Chuan in accordance with the law.
The relevant person in charge of the Third Inspection Bureau of the Taxation Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region stated that the taxation department will continue to strengthen tax supervision of online live streaming practitioners, strictly investigate and punish tax related illegal activities in accordance with the law, and promote the industry to develop in a standardized manner.
