The legendary actress Liu Xiaoqing, who has weathered the ups and downs in the entertainment industry for decades, once again stands at the center of public opinion due to tax issues at the age of 74.
On May 15, 2025, Mr. Wang, a citizen of Shenzhen, reported Liu Xiaoqing under his real name, causing a ripple effect. He pointed out that Liu Xiaoqing allegedly evaded taxes through her 'Shanghai Yixi Cultural Media Center', with an amount as high as 3.3 million yuan. This is not merely a financial oversight but a meticulously planned 'digital game'. The whistleblower detailed that Liu Xiaoqing disguised funds as 'endorsement fees', cleverly transferring them to the company, and then brazenly replaced the high personal income tax of over 27% with a VAT invoice at a 6% rate. Even more astonishing is that this company, accused of being a 'shell company', the Shanghai Yixi Cultural Media Center, appears to be a carefully crafted illusion, lacking an actual office, employees, or social security records, seemingly a phantom entity fabricated in the business world.
