Four money laundering tricks of star sky-high pay exposure. How do they launder money?

The sky-high pay of entertainment artists has always been a controversial issue, because many artists may earn more than ordinary people casually, and the specific pay income is very large, which does not mean the value they actually pay. But for artists, high pay means that they need to bear higher taxes than ordinary people, because according to the national tax policy, paying taxes and fees is something that every citizen must abide by, and the proportion of taxes we need to pay is relatively fixed. Then, for artists, the sky-high taxes and fees corresponding to the sky-high film pay are also a matter of great concern to them, so many artists will find ways to reduce the taxes and fees they need to pay, which involves the following common practices.

First of all, by establishing a personal studio

According to the national tax policy, there is a certain difference between the personal income tax payable and the individual industrial and commercial households tax payable. For individual industrial and commercial households, it is necessary to deduct the corresponding operating costs and various losses before paying taxes in proportion, which is far lower than the tax payable by personal income. Therefore, many artists will choose to set up personal studios in the form of individual industrial and commercial households to pay taxes, which can also save a lot of taxes.

Two, the consultation income is paid after tax.

Under normal circumstances, the artist's remuneration is paid before tax, and the artist needs to pay taxes according to the corresponding proportion after receiving the remuneration, which will be much lower than the expected income. Therefore, many artists will clearly point out that they need to pay after-tax remuneration when negotiating with the producers, which is equivalent to the producers paying taxes, and the artists' after-tax remuneration will completely fall into their pockets.

Third, emigrate to other low-tax countries.

Immigration is also a subtle tax avoidance method in the entertainment industry. In fact, many artists in the entertainment circle do not belong to China. In other countries, because many foreign countries are low-tax countries, and even some special groups have subsidies, if artists migrate to these local tax countries, their personal income will not be affected by domestic tax policies when they are transferred to other countries.

Either way, the premise should not violate the basic law. As a legal citizen, paying taxes according to law is something that each of us must abide by.
