the cooperation enthusiasm of listed companies is affected

will conduct multi-dimensional investigation
The anchor with goods is punished for tax evasion, and the relevant cooperation with listed companies will inevitably be affected. On December 22, Keming noodle industry confirmed to the reporter of securities times · e company that it has suspended its cooperation with the punished anchor.
“Our company tiktok has other co hosts and master store self broadcasting and live broadcast, so the impact on sales is very small. Whether or not to cooperate depends on the circumstances. The company will continue to focus on and develop live TV providers, and take the way of head anchor, star cast, shop self broadcast.” Keming noodle industry said.
Beijing Kingee Culture Development Co.Ltd(002721) responded that the current multi-level competition pattern in the live broadcast e-commerce industry is taking shape, the industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the company’s cooperation with various platforms and anchors in the e-commerce field is open and diversified; The company cooperated with Weiya in September this year. At present, the company has no cooperative relationship with Weiya.
Hunan Mendale Hometextile Co.Ltd(002397) last year, the cooperation with Weiya triggered stock price changes and attracted the attention of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. For the latest cooperation between the two sides, on December 22, Hunan Mendale Hometextile Co.Ltd(002397) told the reporter of securities times · e company: “at present, there is no cooperative relationship with Weiya.”
According to Hunan Mendale Hometextile Co.Ltd(002397) , e-commerce live broadcast is one of the company’s normal product sales channels. The company’s real terminal store image provides a very good scene for e-commerce live broadcast. The company has cooperated with many e-commerce live broadcasting institutions and e-commerce live broadcasting platforms, including head anchors and middle waist anchors, and has also established its own e-commerce live broadcasting team, but the proportion of e-commerce live broadcasting business revenue in the company’s operating revenue is relatively low.
“The punishment of anchor for tax evasion will have a great impact on the whole e-commerce live broadcasting environment, but it has no substantive impact on Mengjie’s operation.” Hunan Mendale Hometextile Co.Ltd(002397) in an interview with the reporter of the securities times · e company, relevant people said, “Mengjie, as a listed company, has the obligation and responsibility to maintain normal market order. In the future, when selecting partners, it will be more cautious and conduct more dimensional investigations on partners.”
netizens need to improve their legal awareness
The head anchor was punished for tax evasion, which undoubtedly warned and educated webcast practitioners that they should consciously fulfill their tax obligations according to law.
Meanwhile, on December 22, the tax bureaus of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong Province, Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province successively issued notices saying that social public figures such as star artists and network anchors should strictly abide by the provisions of the tax law. Star artists and network anchors who have not paid attention to their own tax related problems or failed to carry out self-examination and rectification before, pay close attention to the self-examination according to the tax law and relevant notice requirements, and take the initiative to report and correct tax related problems to the tax department before the end of 2021. The tax department will reduce, mitigate or exempt tax penalties according to the notice requirements. For those who still refuse to conduct self-examination and self correction or do not conduct self-examination and self correction thoroughly, the tax department will seriously deal with them in accordance with the law and regulations.
The industry believes that in recent years, as live broadcasting with goods has become the largest growth point of e-commerce platform, the income of network anchors has also increased, and the single trading volume of some head anchors has reached tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. The punishment decision made by the tax department reflects the authority, fairness and justice of the tax law, and once again warns the employees of webcast that they should consciously pay taxes according to law and bear the social responsibility matching their income and status.
Meng Bo, executive director of the digital economy legal affairs department of Beijing capital law firm, told the reporter of the securities times · e company that the tax authorities have successively announced typical cases of tax evasion by network anchors, which is releasing the signal of strict control over the professional behavior of network anchors. From a macro perspective, this also demonstrates the strength and determination of the regulatory authorities to further standardize the platform economy.
Meng Bo also pointed out that many laws and regulations, such as the e-commerce law of the people’s Republic of China, the measures for the supervision and administration of online transactions and the measures for the administration of webcast marketing (for Trial Implementation), have stipulated the main responsibilities that the platform should perform. Therefore, to control the chaos of tax evasion by network anchors, we should further compact the main responsibility of the platform and force it to strengthen the supervision of network anchors in the platform.
According to Shi Jie, an IP incubation expert and co-founder of logic thinking, the current development of we media and online red has prompted more job seekers to be keen on this field because of its low threshold and high profit. However, it is obvious that MCN (an online Red economy operation mode) institutions focus on how to have huge traffic and how to have higher profits; The platform focuses on how to generate better transformation if greater traffic is created, and how to meet the regulatory needs of the country.
“What is missing in the middle is the training of wanghong’s legal awareness, whether in terms of content or finance, how to be legal and compliant. I believe that in the Weiya incident, this is a problem that the platform and MCN institutions quickly pay attention to.” Shi Jie told the reporter of securities times · e company.
