Recently, the tax authorities exposed and dealt with two cases of network anchors evading taxes according to law, and detailed the relevant details of the cases. In recent years, the tax authorities have systematically rectified the behavior of tax evasion by internet celebrities. Previously, the tax authorities have exposed several cases of network anchors involved in tax issues. According to the "China Internet Audiovisual Development Research Report," the scale of professional network anchors has reached 38.8 million people. The continuous prosperity and high-quality development of the industry cannot be achieved without a standardized and orderly environment. For network anchors who aspire to long-term success, paying taxes in accordance with the law is a prerequisite for ensuring the sustainable development of their careers. It is understood that the tax authorities will continue to coordinate the promotion of tax law publicity, tax guidance, risk warnings, and system improvements, gradually building a comprehensive and full-chain tax supervision system for network anchors, and laying a solid foundation for the industry's compliance and development.
