• She fought the case with Tax office without fully going thru her numbers? She likely was told there were no mistake by those that managed her accounts. She believed them thus she fought her case until the Tax officers has to spell out the errors in person one by one to her...

  I hope all artistes learn some accounting skills if they really value their career and future...Never just listen to others especially those that say GOV is wrong without due diligence.

  • Is that what happened? I heard that the agency was the one who scammed her and put the tax that they were supposed to pay on her plate, and she refused to pay taxes that belonged to the company from her personal earnings , she was co-CEO by the way

• The steps they were going to take AI, replacing with another a tress, re-filming would be more expensive than just cutting losses and writing off the drama. What a sad waste for the rest of cast and crew who are negatively affected through no fault of their own.

• She's so weird. I feel like so many young actresses would kill to be in her position; have a breakout hit and becoming a leading lady in dramas. Yet, she and her team made so many bad decisions, consecutively. Apparently she was given a couple of chances to fix the situation, it's amazing to watch someone ruin their career when it was so preventable.

• Maybe these production companies should include the cost of full personal tax audits in their drama budget. What a shame for everyone else involved...all the hard work wasted??!!

• Well, yes, quite a few of us tried telling you.

• Why would you rather get cancelled than just make up what you owe especially when given the chance to do so?

  China celebs are kinda crazy in this regard. The govt just wants their money. Just freakin pay them. Not like you get to keep the money by behaving like this anyway.

  • I hope other actors considering tax evasion have all been scared straight. I know there will always be a few evaders, but such news is always so frustrating since all they have to do is shell out a fraction of their bloated incomes and they are likely getting better pay increases than I am.

  • Before Crystal, actually, the gov was really taking it easy on celebs and their sneaky ways to avoid taxes but after that famous actress who was involved with Jack Ma, the CPP got very angry and started cracking on all the celebrities and their tax evasion

    • Who got involved in Jack Ma? Business relations? Jack Ma have moved to Japan now. I really am curious what his period in tea drinking with GOV involved before he left China for Japan.

• Anybody have news on Cecilia Cheung lookalike Song Zu Er’s tax evasion?

  I heard rumors she was getting married?

  • Really, that I have not heard. I wonder who?

    • Someone older but super loaded. She always goes for older men. Maybe she has daddy issues. It’s ok now that she’s a grown woman but back when she was still a minor it was pretty disturbing. It’s hard for child actors/actresses to end up normal. It’s the fault of selfish and greedy parents using their children as money makers. Such a pity really SZE is such a natural actress and a joy to watch but her career is pretty much over

    • @ling, very true, I understand her need for security in older man... it is not uncommon for a young woman who have to carry so such responsibilities at a young age.. I hope she will well taken care off and be happy.

• If you obediently pay back the taxes you owe, do you still get canceled or is everything back to normal with your career?

  Any celebs actually came out unscathed from a tax evasion?

  • Depends.

    Usually you are forgiven and you can move on. On very rare occasions, you still get in trouble. But making up the taxes is usually enough, they just refuse. Another one like that is Deng Lun. He also refused. Here we are now.

  • Depends on the case. Jiang yi yi paid back her tax and she is fine now. The difference is that she didn’t realize her agency didn’t withhold tax from her income. She thought they paid her tax for her but didn’t. Yuan Bin Yuan, Deng lun, song zu er established companies to avoid tax so it is much more serious.

    • I see... They have their own company like how Xiao Zhan has just started his last year...so he will have to be fully responsible for his tax. Under when a artiste is under company, I will expect the company to do so...but maybe not in some cases.

      I should google what are the tax brackets in China...In UK, it goes up to 45%. Sh*t high.

    • @HL

      Personal income tax goes to 45% there as well, for something like a million yuan plus income. For businesses it's a bit different, varies.

    • @Hmmm, Thanks!! That is very high.

• Well back in 2018 Zhao liying,also got warned by tax authority,she paid it back though,so now she's fine

  • I think many did after Fan Bingbing...lots of top stars. They lay low for a bit till trouble was dealt with and they are in the clear.

• What are the odds of another country picking up this drama ala Zhang Zhehan and Park Min Young's Castle in Time and airing it overseas for international fans? Slim to none I suspect. Probably not worth investing in as neither of them have a strong international base unlike Zhang Zhehan.

  Still, it's worth a thought....

  • I have to say, I was not aware just how popular Zhang Zhehan is overseas. he can even fill concerts. Not bad.
