In fact, Americans don't know much about the life of the rich in China, and those who are willing to expose are some hot-headed nouveau riche, and they who have entered the new rich class are not very clear about what kind of life is the life of the rich, and they also go their own way in terms of specific standards, but one thing in common is that they are trying their best to use money to create a luxurious living environment.

Of course, the great contrast between the rapid expansion of material wealth and the extreme scarcity of spiritual life is bound to lead to some undesirable consequences.

Around New Year's Day, the American magazine "Time" published a special article in China entitled "Poor Excess," in which the author described the lives of several Chinese tycoons by name.

In his article, he described that these people built lavish and tacky imitation White House offices, imitation rococo villas; building villas in the suburbs but not daring to turn on the luxury chandeliers for fear of causing the poor neighbor's house to trip; Their wives endure their husband's countless lovers, feel lonely, and can only pass their lives by raising expensive pets, going to temples to burn incense, and having more children; They poured Sprite into the most expensive wines, poured them down like water, and feasted on fried eels, braised seaweed, and stewed oysters, enjoying every minute of luxury.

This lifelike sketch of a poor Chinese nouveau riche quickly went viral, causing endless annoyance to the interviewees, and it seemed to confirm what the American business writer Cornell wrote in "The Big Dog: The Origin of the Rich Species": "Wealth beyond imagination is something that no one can get used to." Wealth is against nature, and the behavior of wealthy people often shows outright maladaptation. ”

It is clear that the widening gap between the rich and the poor is inducing a dangerous social disease, and a poll by a well-known university in China also showed that more than 60 percent of the respondents believed that the rich had made their fortune through illegal means.

Critics have referred to the French writer Balzac's maxim that behind every great fortune there is a crime.

Someone else compared Forbes' list of China's top 50 richest people with the list of the top 50 taxpayers of private companies published by the State Administration of Taxation, and found that only four names overlapped.

As a result, the topic of tax evasion by the rich was discussed for a long time.

Dramatically, the first person to be caught as a street rat was not the Forbes rich list of Gon Zhugong, but a big sister in the entertainment industry, the famous movie star Liu Xiaoqing, who claimed to be a billionaire sister, was arrested on suspicion of tax evasion.

Liu Xiaoqing was the most well-known actress in China in the 80s, she was famous for her pungent personality and daring to speak out, and the most widely circulated Liu famous saying is that it is difficult to be a man, it is even more difficult to be a woman, and it is even more difficult to be a famous woman. Of course, this sentence has also been put on the screen many times, as a famous quote that can be arbitrarily cynical and abused countless times.

In a book that resembles an autobiography, Ms. Liu said that in fact, she already owns 26 or more companies, and the total investment demand of these enterprises has exceeded 5 billion yuan. She uses various methods of financing, brings in capital from overseas, cooperates with experienced and powerful groups at home and abroad, borrows money from banks, and at the same time, invests the money she owns.

Such a swagger of wealth naturally attracts a lot of attention. When public opinion on tax evasion by the rich is surging day by day, she has become the most suitable target.

According to the investigation of the tax authorities, Xiaoqing Culture and Art Co., Ltd., which she founded, has evaded more than 14 million taxes in the past five years by adopting various means such as not listing or underlisting income, listing more expenses, and making false declarations.

This time, it is not surprising that the tax department will target the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry has always been a place where darkness and light intersect, in this place, it is like a cloud, ordinary people see the sunlight refracted above the clouds, while some professionals and celebrities are hidden in the darkness of the clouds.

The ugliness of the entertainment industry is first of all because of its interest-centered axis of rotation, in this circle, fame is the first pursuit, and interests are always put first.

In order to become famous, some people can be said to have paid a price that ordinary people did not expect. This road in the entertainment industry is like learning from the West, all kinds of situations will appear, and they have gone through all kinds of hardships in order to achieve positive results, but the stars who become famous cover up a large number of people waiting in line to become famous, as well as their various efforts.

Even if they become famous, in order to become more famous or for other purposes, some people are still unscrupulous, so they do not hesitate to sell themselves for their own future, and there are many people who do not hesitate to bribe the director and producer in order to make a movie, these things are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Many people say a popular saying that it is stinky first, and then it is popular, so it is obviously a matter of stealing chickens and touching dogs, but it has been repeatedly taken out and fried, and it is said that the value of female stars related to Lai Changxing is much higher now. Such an aesthetic contrast satisfies everyone's curiosity, and thus creates a strange area of the entertainment industry.

There are many celebrity shady incidents exposed this year, and celebrities involved in the ranks of corrupt officials have also become a hot topic of discussion, which has caused a very bad impact, and Mao Ning was stabbed, a female star took drugs, Zhao Wei wore a military flag skirt and other incidents also cast a shadow on the entertainment industry.

There are often some rumors that a female star has signed a deed of sale again, and a male star has been maintained by a rich woman. In the entertainment industry, the fastest fame is generally female stars, and when male stars are still working hard, his female classmates may soon become famous because of a scandal.

Therefore, in the entertainment industry, it cannot be denied that some celebrities actually become popular not by acting skills, but by the desperate publicity methods of the support party, and the most common method used by female stars is to say how they have a relationship with the director, and then it is best to hold a press conference to clarify.

The relationship between men and women has become a boundless net, but it has caught the ugly entertainment industry, and some humble gentlemen or fair ladies in front of the public may be drug addiction, gambling, ** Yi and so on. The private lives of mainland celebrities have not been supervised like those in Hong Kong and other places, but there has never been less negative news about celebrities.

The director is like a teacher in life, but the director in the entertainment industry is actually far from the teacher in life, first of all, the relationship between some male directors and actresses can never be counted, and the second is that some directors often meet female stars in the name of talking about drama, of course, such a thing, the final success should also have something to do with actresses.

All in all, this is an impetuous era, and under the premise that the top level is not very clearly aware of where China should go, it is obviously extravagant to let ordinary people figure out their own positioning, and the idea of wanting to fully understand it is only an idea.

When looking back at the issue of tax evasion, Shen Ying asked Fan Wuxi, how strong will it be this time?

"The degree of appearance is more-" Fan Wuxian unabashedly exposed the bottom line of the tax department's actions this time.

In fact, while the domestic economy is developing at a high speed, there are also many problems. According to current conservative estimates, corrupt officials have amassed more than 200 billion yuan of money, and tens of billions of dollars have been transferred abroad. In terms of tax violations, it is even more shocking, and the black hole of tax evasion and tax evasion devours about 400 billion yuan of funds every year.

Recently, some experts have said that China is becoming a haven for tax avoidance, and have suggested that an anti-tax avoidance system should be established. For a time, anti-tax avoidance has become an important topic in the financial circles, business circles and even the economy and society.

The government also said that China will further strengthen its anti-tax avoidance efforts, actively promote the advance pricing management system for business transactions between affiliated enterprises, promote joint tax audits, strengthen international tax information exchange, improve the ability to supervise transnational tax sources, strengthen the daily management of foreign-related enterprises and foreign individual income tax, and do a good job in the collection and management of international and foreign-related taxes.

However, in the face of tax problems, anti-tax avoidance is important, but it is more important to crack down on tax violations and tax evasion.

"The amount of tax avoidance reaches 30 billion yuan every year, but the tax evasion reaches 400 billion yuan! 30 billion vs. 400 billion, which is more important and which is lighter, is clear at a glance. What's more, only a part of tax avoidance involves tax violations, and a considerable part is a reasonable tax avoidance right behavior of taxpayers. To solve the problem of tax avoidance, it is necessary to improve the level of domestic tax administration, and the general mention of anti-tax avoidance may cause confusion in theory. Fan Wuxian explained to Shen Ying, "Because tax avoidance is a neutral category in a certain sense, planning tax avoidance is the due right of taxpayers." In actual economic life, all kinds of tax avoidance behaviors are between violations and non-violations, and between violations and non-violations. This kind of tightrope walking behavior is a hot spot in the game between enterprises and the government, and cannot be directly defined as illegal. ”

Fan Wuxi's words made Shen Ying feel a little puzzled, as a representative of a key enterprise that abides by the law and pays taxes reasonably, Shen Ying thinks that taxes are something that people say they should pay as much as they want, and they have never considered where they can use means to reduce or not pay, so this tax avoidance topic makes her feel a little confused.

"Or should I get a tax expert and a legal expert to look into the matter?" Shen Ying asked Fan Wuji.

"Then forget it, save yourself when you canβ€”" Fan Wuxian shook his head with a smile and said.

Tax avoidance is a double-edged sword, although it seems to be able to intercept a huge amount of profits, but it is also easy to leave hidden dangers, once there is any change in the policy, it will bring greater trouble to enterprises.

There are no pop-ups
