"government demands that by the end of October, all artists will have to pay back the tax. So as soon as the star meets, do you make up for it? "
Recently, a boss of the entertainment industry, who declined to be named, disclosed that due to Fan Bingbing's "Yin-Yang contract" incident, the entertainment industry had suffered a major earthquake, in addition to raising the announced tax rate for star studios from 6% to 42%. Government verbal communication demands that all stars have to pay back the tax in October!
"government's request is that you make up for it first and check it out at the end of October, so now star artists are busy paying taxes." Said the boss.
The boss told reporters in an interview, in addition to the exposed stars, in fact, most artists have the problem of tax evasion. "the singer is more serious, the top 200 artists and the top 50 film and television companies will be recruited." In his view, next, first-and second-line stars and the entertainment industry as a whole will face a major shuffle.
The studio became a star tax shelte
The boss revealed that at this stage, entertainment industry stars are busy making up taxes. Now, as soon as the film circle meets, the picture is as follows: "do you have any tickets?" I'm short of $30 million. "
"the tax paid by all artists will be a big sum, and star studios are used to avoid taxes, and this is a loophole in the policy of drilling." Another entertainment industry person revealed to this newspaper, most stars have tax evasion, stars are just to evade taxes to open the studio.
"the actor runs a studio, it's not a company, it's a self-employed business license. The advantage of self-employed people is that they can pay taxes through studio operations, VAT, additional taxes, and personal income taxes that add up to less than 10%, rather than paying taxes on the actual income paid by stars. So the studio is set up to evade taxes and avoid taxes. "
The reporter learned that since Fan Bingbing's "Yin-Yang contract" incident, some places began to strengthen the film and television industry tax collection, the former Star Studio approved collection method, changed to audit collection. In other words, stars can no longer evade taxes by setting up studios.
"so after October, the artist's studio is not called a studio, it's called XX Culture." The entertainment industry boss told reporters that many entertainers are now busy making up for their previous taxes and, in order to avoid taxes, do not sign business contracts such as acting, endorsements and so on until the end of October.
"if an actor receives a piece of money for a film, he will also have to pay a tax if he receives it from a cultural company. But when it comes to endorsing business, you can use cultural companies to avoid taxes. "
First-and second-tier artist reshuffle
"I heard that some of the films and TV projects that have been signed up have begun to be replaced." In an interview with this newspaper, the boss in the circle said that when a well-known young handsome star received 80 million films, a movie had now been replaced by a second-tier entertainer with 26 million films.
Because the film and television tax new deal, the tax rate increased to 42% from the original minimum 6.7%, the film side can not pay higher-paid first-line artists can afford to pay high taxes, so choose a relatively low-paid second-tier artists to replace.
"the tax is not terrible, it is the butterfly effect, first-or second-line artists will be reshuffled." One of the insiders analyzed the next situation in the entertainment industry: staring at who would happen is now the first level, called chaos; the second stage, must be chaos, we do not know how to trade; The third stage, called fission, not only broke out in the film and television entertainment industry, but also swept through all advertisers. There will be a storm in the tax pay limit.
Since the Yin-Yang contract incident, the reporter queried Ai Man data to understand that Fan Bingbing's commercial value has been falling, from the second, to the fourth, eighth, eleventh. Because of the tax problem, Fan Bingbing's business value is not as good as one day.
In addition, Aiman data show that Lu Han's business value has been falling down. And this year, including Cai Xukun, Fan Chengcheng and many other newcomers, and a lot of women.
"in the coming period, there will be competition between first-line actors and second-or third-tier actors. The long-term absence of work and exposure will directly affect the changes in the commercial value of actors. Past industry experience in this great turbulence will lose its role, only through continuous, dynamic, complete artificial intelligence and big data means, can the scientific and accurate evaluation of the future value of artists! " Ai Man data President Cao Yongshou said in an interview with this newspaper.
The culture company will become a star tax avoidance new reporter learned to the industry, the former star reception, most film and television companies will sign contracts with major artists, help artists pay taxes on behalf of the artist. However, the new tax system requires a one-time six-month tax repayments, and many film and television companies have had a difficult time.
"just this week, as a result of the new tax system, I heard that some film and television publicity companies have closed down." In the view of the industry, this time unlike before, the tax Bureau is determined to regulate the film and television industry chain.
Not only TV series, movies, because online verification, all variety programs for commercial licenses, the General Administration will let the film side to see the contract, cost list. If you invest 300 million, multiply the total film payoff by 40%, to a maximum of 1.2 billion, and then look at the individual actor's pay. "now you have to count all the variety shows, and see how much the actors are paid," he said.
"first-line entertainers used to get the habit of high pay, not willing to reduce the pay, and refused to pay nearly half of the tax, some would rather not accept the play." Industry insiders believe, first-line artists high pay, high taxes, film and television companies difficult to afford, this is the knot.
"now there are three kinds of relationships: the film side carries the tax, the artist carries the tax, the two carry together." For example, the film invests 200 million, the official demand is 80 million is the total actor film salary, a man takes 50 million or 40 million, the female also must at least 20 million, then still has to pay 42% tax, "the star is crazy."
In order to avoid taxes, most artists' studios should be converted to XX Culture after October, according to one insider who spoke on condition of anonymity.
