With the gradual emergence of various mainstream short-term ** platforms, we not only have our favorite celebrities in our lives, but also a new social group has emerged - that is, Internet celebrities. However, compared to the stars of the entertainment industry, these influencers are not only famous because of their acting ability or appearance, but also because of a casual opportunity or an act that makes them less famous.
Perhaps, your partner the day before was just an ordinary existence, and in just one night, you quickly became a popular blogger with millions of followers.
Subsequently, this group of influencers enjoyed a life without worries, and some influencers even earned more than celebrities.
As a result, many young people are keen to pursue the profession of becoming an influencer, and many are eager to enter this field even if they have a broken head.
As the number of participants increased, the qualities of online celebrities began to differ significantly, and even a series of exploratory attempts were launched within the boundaries of the law.
In such cases, official platforms should develop a comprehensive and rigorous set of rules to manage the behavior of influencers, and violations of these regulations may lead to a variety of negative situations such as bans or account bans on their user accounts.
For some serious cases, they may also be subject to fines from the ** department and fines from various detentions.
Now, a 10-million-dollar pink influencer in Luoyang, Henan Province, has problems due to violations of laws and regulations, and he has not only been banned from the account he has worked so hard to create, but will also be punished with a hefty fine.
He is the online anchor Ma Haitao, and his partner Liang Na, on the Internet, everyone affectionately calls him "Little Brother Ma".
And so suffered its consequences.
When it comes to tax evasion or tax evasion, whether it is in the entertainment industry or in the Internet celebrity community, you can see a series of typical cases.
In the end, their purpose was completely blinded by the two keywords "greed", leading to a complete failure and nothing.
Therefore, the internet celebrity "Little Pony" that we are discussing today is also based on this consideration.
It is evident from Xiao Ma's personal short ** account that he released the first ** in May 2020, which was mainly due to the humorous vignettes he captured of family members and became popular.
After becoming popular, he and his spouse also followed the development trend of live streaming platforms and embarked on a journey of live broadcast sales.
In just over four years, their account has attracted around 10.22 million followers, and now, we expect to release a new ** in four to five days, each of which will receive at least 100,000 accolades.
The couple made a lot of money in this way, and they bought a new house and a new car, which greatly improved the standard of living for their family.
But he was not happy with the matter.
The inspection department of the Luoyang Municipal Taxation Bureau made a discovery after an in-depth analysis.
The two live streaming people may have the risk of tax evasion and tax evasion in the process of operation, and they adopted a variety of methods, such as concealing the nature of the commission and income of the live streaming, misleading the public to make false declarations, resulting in the underpayment of 2.07 million yuan in personal income tax, value-added tax and other taxes.
This statistic, which may not be significant compared to other influencers, does hit the limits of what the law allows.
In accordance with the current laws and regulations, the Inspection Bureau of the Luoyang Municipal Taxation Bureau has taken corresponding penalties for Ma Haitao and Liang Na's behavior to recover their taxes and fees.
In addition, on this basis, late fees and fines were additionally added, with a total cost of 3.17 million yuan.
At the same time, Ma Haitao and Liang Na's personal short ** accounts have been banned by the official, and there are still questions about how they will deal with these issues.
There is also a trumpet called "Little Pony", which has more than 1 million followers, but her current account is restricted and she is prohibited from expressing her opinions publicly.
We don't know if Ma Haitao and Liang Na, who saw this situation, would have remorse.
Initially, when most netizens and his followers learned about it, they were even slightly skeptical, because his first impression to the outside world was usually that of a simple, sincere person.
In the natural disasters in Gansu and Zhuozhou in 2023, donations of 100,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan were also specially donated to the affected areas.
From the point of view of "all parties are in need" in their **, almost no one would have foreseen that this is definitely a person who violates laws and regulations.
However, the official announcement has been placed over there, and his fan base has had to make a compromise, saying that they "only know others, but not their true hearts", making a mistake of judgment.
After the official announcement of **, this matter also aroused a lot of discussion on **.
How do netizens assess the situation?
Some argue that some penalties are too lenient and should be punished directly or the account should be banned.
Some have suggested that if you dig deeper, you should delve into the influencer-related content.
After hearing about the tax evasion and evasion of a certain person, some people expressed strong shock at this, and then expressed deep amazement at the huge economic benefits of the Internet celebrity field.
Some people even use their salaries as an example, claiming that even if they only have a few thousand yuan per month, they still pay a single amount of taxes and fees, and resolutely abide by the country's laws and regulations.
However, on the whole, there are not many positive comments, and it can be clearly felt that many Internet users still have strong antipathy and anger towards such behavior.
As the saying goes: "Every 360 industry, every industry will create champions".
In the digital age, becoming an influencer can undoubtedly earn you a fortune, but sadly, many people only focus on the very few who succeed.
In the huge team in the field, only a small part, or even only one in 10,000, can really stand out among many competitors. And most people end up with only a short period of success, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Overall, people don't need to be envious of the worry-free life of influencers, they just need to put more effort into their professional field.
In the same way, we still have the opportunity to achieve brilliant results and enjoy those carefree days.
Although it is true that sometimes you act differently, you should never be blinded by victory or blinded by desire, and make sure that the law is always in your hands.
After becoming famous, don't take the same illegal acts as Ma Haitao and Liang Na.
Although the French Open may be weak, no one will be spared, otherwise they may end up in disrepute and destitute.
The meaning of the end. I sincerely hope that in the future workplace and daily life, people can be down-to-earth, move forward steadily every step of the way, and strive for a brighter future. Internet celebrity Xiao Ma and his wife were fined 3.17 million for tax evasion
