Editor's Note: The Zhejiang Provincial Taxation Bureau's Inspection Bureau made public to the public the online anchor Huang Wei (online name: Weiya)'s tax related violations from 2019 to 2020, and made a decision to pursue the payment of taxes, impose overdue fines, and impose a total penalty of 1.341 billion yuan, causing a public uproar. However, this matter was not sudden. As early as 2021, the State Administration of Taxation had issued multiple documents requiring practitioners in the live streaming marketing industry to conduct tax self-examination. From Weiya's apology letter, we can also see that Weiya conducted a tax self-examination this year. Here's a question: Why does Weiya still face tax administrative penalties after her self inspection? How can anchors in the process of self inspection avoid and resolve the risk of being identified as "tax evasion" in the remaining nine days? See discussion in this article for details.
