Actress Zheng Shuang Fined $46 Million for Tax Evasion, More Celebs Disappear From China’s Internet

The Business of Fashion

Controversial Chinese actress Zheng Shuang’s terrible 2021 continues, with tax authorities revealing she has been hit with a 299 million yuan ($46.1 million) fine for failing to declare her true taxable income, according to reports on Chinese state television network CCTV.

Following a surrogacy scandal in January that saw her dropped as a brand ambassador for Prada, Chinese tax authorities in April opened an investigation into allegations Zheng had used “yin and yang” contracts (in which “official” and “unofficial” payments for entertainers are documented) to conceal her income. The practice of yin and yang contracts first came to widespread attention in 2018 when superstar Fan Bingbing was fined 883 million yuan ($129 million at the time the fine was levied) for failing to declare her income in full.

According to a spokesperson from the Shanghai Taxation Bureau quoted by local media, Zheng was paid 156 million yuan ($24 million) for her role in a 2019 television series, of which only 48 million yuan ($7.4 million) was officially declared. In total, Zheng was found to have failed to declare 191 million yuan ($29.45 million) from 2019 to 2020, evading taxes totalling 45.27 million yuan (almost $7 million), and underpaying other taxes to the value of 26.52 million yuan ($4 million).

News of Zheng’s fine comes hours after Chinese netizens began noticing the removal of several celebrities from local internet sites.

Singer, Huo Zun, who has recently been publicly accused of playboy behaviour by his ex-girlfriend on social media, also appears to have had his works removed from streaming sites.

This latest round of removing references to celebrities online in China comes in the wake of Zhang Zhehan’s removal from social media and streaming sites in recent weeks. Zhang’s brand partners, including Lanvin, Pandora and Japanese jeweller, Tasaki, also distanced themselves from the young actor, who was also on the receiving end of an official denouncement from the China Association of Performing Arts, following the publication of photos showing Zhang posing in front of the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.

Kris Wu has also seen his online presence in China deleted following police investigations into sexual misconduct that led to Louis Vuitton’s former ambassador being formally arrested in Beijing on August 16.

Celebrities in China are under more intense scrutiny than ever, and there is no sign of relief on the horizon. On August 19, the China Federation of Radio and Television Association called for the country’s radio, television and production industries to take a “zero tolerance” position against stars who “lack ethics”.
