622nd of the month，Teacher Cui complained on Weibo，There was an immediate response，And it is directly a joint amplification of the five departments.。 A document once again pushed the topic of celebrity tax evasion to the forefront of public opinion。Teacher Cui’s tearing campaign lasted from May to June，I thought it had died down，Unexpectedly, five departments jointly issued a document，Addressing sky-high remuneration and tax evasion issues in the entertainment industry。This news just came out，Got support from many people!
turn out to be，Only the State Administration of Taxation has entered into investigating tax evasion in the entertainment industry，And now multiple departments are entering，This means more than just investigating tax evasion in the entertainment industry，It will also control the high salary in the entire entertainment industry、Money is paramount in the film and television industry、Traffic comes first、Problems such as misdirection of values! How much do celebrities earn? How high is the personal tax?
regarding this matter，The public's attention is so high，The fundamental reason lies in the high remuneration of stars，A certain star can earn 60 million yuan in 4 days，But ordinary people may not be able to achieve it in their lifetime! What makes people even more angry and devastated is that：Those of us who earn a salary of several thousand yuan are paying taxes in a proper manner.，Celebrities with tens of millions of dollars in income find ways to escape。 Whether it’s a movie or TV series or a variety reality show，Celebrity remuneration has always been a hot topic。
The sky-high remuneration has indeed stimulated the nerves of many people，But actually，This is nothing new。According to industry insiders，The current market situation of film and television dramas，A-list stars earn nearly 100 million yuan，It's normal。
According to media reports，Recently, a survey report released the salary list of Chinese TV drama actresses.，Among them, the popular actress Yang Mi、Sun Li、Fan Bingbing、Yang Ying、Dilireba、Zhao Liying、Zhou Dongyu and others’ salaries are as high as 80 million，Ranked among the “first tier” with the highest remuneration。 Image source: Internet According to data from the "2025 Chinese Celebrity Income Ranking"，The selection threshold is 25 million yuan.，Among them, 14 have incomes over RMB 100 million。
Fan Bingbing took the top spot with 244 million，Lu Han ranks second with 181.6 million，Jay Chou ranks third with 181.5 million。 Image source: Vice Chairman of the Chinese Literary Critics Association、Yin Hong, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, said in an interview with the media，Affected by traffic，It is normal for celebrities to have high and low salaries，However, there is indeed a phenomenon that individual actors are paid "extraordinarily high" amounts。
Although celebrities earn more，But celebrities’ taxes are also relatively high。 How high is a celebrity's personal tax? Why do celebrities evade taxes? very simple，It’s not because the pay is too high、Pay too much tax。 Stars in movies and TV series、variety show、Income from commercial performances, etc. is remuneration for labor services，Different from the labor remuneration received by ordinary employees。An individual's labor income is calculated according to the seven-level progressive tax rate of personal income tax.，The top marginal tax rate is 45%。
Labor remuneration refers to the income earned by individuals independently from various non-employment services.，For example, a celebrity is invited to participate in a variety show，But the star is not an employee of the company behind the variety show，The income obtained in this case is labor remuneration.。
The applicable tax rate for labor remuneration is 20%，However, if the one-time income is abnormally high, a mark-up tax can be implemented，The specific tax rate is：The tax rate for portions not exceeding 20,000 yuan is 20%，2-5The partial tax rate for RMB 10,000 is 30%，5The tax rate is 40% for portions over RMB 10,000。 Taxable income refers to the amount that needs to be paid personal tax，For example, the amount after deducting five social insurances and one housing fund from the salary of ordinary employees is the taxable income.。
The taxable income from labor remuneration is：Remuneration for a single service is less than 4,000 yuan，Income minus 800 yuan；A single labor remuneration exceeds 4,000 yuan，Amount after deducting 20% from income。 Give an example：A certain star was paid 10 million yuan for participating in a TV series，After deducting 20%, it is 8 million yuan，This money is subject to tax。
800Wan is obviously over 50,000 yuan，The corresponding tax rate is 40%，In addition, deductions based on quick calculation，In the end, I still need to lose 7,000 yuan.，The final calculated personal tax is： 8000000×40%-7000=3193000 yuan，That is nearly 3.2 million yuan。 The star’s final income was about 6.8 million yuan。 86The core actors of Journey to the West are paid up to 100 yuan per episode。
Even if we include the four leading actors，25The collective remuneration is no more than 10,000 yuan。drama production
cost
A total of 6 million yuan，Actors' remuneration only accounts for a proportion of the total production cost
- 7%。 And 30 years later，Star actors' salaries have increased thousands of times。 Take Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace as an example，The salary of the male and female protagonists Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua alone in this drama is
- 5100 million，The total production cost is 300 million，Actors’ remuneration accounts for up to 50%。
This is extremely abnormal，High remuneration for actors will directly lead to the squeeze on other funds，thus affecting the quality of film and television works，ultimately reach a broad audience。 The higher the income，The higher the tax you pay，This directly leads to many celebrities trying every means to evade taxes!
