Internet celebrity anchors Xiao Ma and his wife were investigated and punished by the tax department for tax evasion and fined 3.17 million yuan. According to reports, from 2020 to 2022, they falsely declared personal income tax and value-added tax by concealing the income from live streaming, and underpaid taxes by 2.07 million yuan. After investigation, the tax department confirmed that there was tax evasion, and pursued taxes, imposed late fees and fines totaling 3.17 million yuan in accordance with the law.
This matter has aroused widespread concern and discussion from all walks of life. As public figures and influencer anchors, the behavior of Xiao Ma and his wife not only violated the law, but also damaged their image and credibility as Internet celebrities. This also reminds the majority of Internet celebrity anchors to operate in good faith, abide by laws and regulations, and not to be greedy for cheap and do unjust things.
At the same time, the tax authorities have also strengthened the tax supervision of the online live broadcast industry, resolutely cracked down on tax evasion and tax evasion, and promoted the healthy development of the industry. This also shows that the state attaches great importance to tax collection work and has a severe attitude towards cracking down on illegal acts.
In short, tax evasion is an illegal act, which not only harms the interests of the country, but also harms social fairness and justice. We should consciously abide by laws and regulations, pay taxes in good faith, and jointly safeguard social fairness and justice and national interests.
