After the accurate analysis and investigation of the tax authorities, recently, Internet celebrity anchors Ma Haitao and Liang Na were summoned in accordance with the law, and an in-depth investigation was launched against their suspected tax evasion.
Recently, according to the investigation results released by the Luoyang Municipal Taxation Bureau, Internet celebrity anchors Ma Haitao and Liang Na have been strictly investigated by the tax inspection department and paid a fine of about 3.36 million yuan (the amount in the article is in RMB) on suspicion of tax evasion. At the same time, the relevant departments also took serious measures against the two people in accordance with the law, such as paying back taxes, collecting late fees and fines.
At the beginning of December 2022, the staff of the Inspection Bureau of the Luoyang Municipal Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation, after rigorous data analysis, found that there was a suspicion of tax evasion under the names of online anchors Ma Haitao and Liang Na. After that, with the assistance and cooperation of the Inspection Bureau of the Henan Provincial Taxation Bureau, a comprehensive and detailed tax inspection was carried out on them, revealing amazing facts.
Between 2020 and 2022, the couple evaded personal income tax and value-added tax (VAT) and other related taxes by concealing the commission income from live streaming and cleverly converting it into other forms of income, totaling up to RMB2.07 million. Despite this, they continue to clean up their accounts on major social media platforms in an attempt to cover up their crimes.
In accordance with the current "Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China", "Tax Collection and Management Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, the Inspection Bureau of the Luoyang Municipal Taxation Bureau took measures against Ma Haitao and Liang Na in accordance with the law, such as recovering underpaid taxes and fees, collecting late fees and fines, with a total amount of 3.36 million yuan.
At present, the relevant departments have served the "Tax Treatment Decision" and the "Tax Administrative Penalty Decision" to the parties in accordance with the legal procedures, and they have also paid all the taxes, late fees and fines that should be paid in full in accordance with the regulations. At the same time, Ma Haitao and Liang Na also realized their own wrong behavior, and expressed their willingness to assume corresponding responsibilities and accept the supervision and education of people from all walks of life.
It is understood that the official Douyin account of "Little Brother and Couple" has more than 10 million followers, however, since February 2024, no new uploads have appeared on the account. Now, the platform has temporarily closed the account pending further processing.
After the incident, it aroused widespread attention and discussion among the public. People can't help but ask: "Is the secret of getting rich for Internet celebrity anchors really hiding illegal activities?" "We believe that under the unremitting efforts of the leading regulators, any non-compliance with laws and regulations will be punished as it deserves. At the same time, it is also hoped that the majority of consumers can maintain a rational view of consumption, and do not blindly pursue the so-called "overnight rich", giving criminals an opportunity.
In this era of rapid development of the Internet economy, we expect every practitioner to stick to the bottom line of conscience and morality, improve their business models, and standardize financial behavior. Only in this way can we truly promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry and let consumers get more benefits. Hotspot Engine Program
