"I object! Your Honor, this is my client's privacy. Besides, I don't think the termination of the contract has anything to do with this case. A celebrity's contract with the company had expired. At this time, wasn't it normal to terminate the contract?”The lawyer quickly stood up and objected.
"That's right. It's normal for celebrities to terminate their contracts, but as far as I know, this female celebrity's contract hasn't expired yet, right? Not only that, his contract was still at least two years long. However, not long ago, his contract was suddenly terminated by an entertainment company, and it was forcefully terminated. A popular female celebrity was actually terminated by her own entertainment company. This did not seem normal, right?”
"After all, according to your so-called compensation clause, this female celebrity's annual profit will bring at least half of the entertainment company's profit. Then, what made them decide to terminate their contract with the female celebrity?”When Qin Mu said this, he gave people time to daydream.
"It seems that everyone is also very curious about this question. It just so happens that I have an answer here. I might as well tell you.”
As he said that, Qin Mu picked up a document from the table and said,""Your Honor, and the members of the jury. This is the tax records of the defendant in recent years that our company has obtained from the tax bureau through proper judicial procedures. In addition, there are also all the remuneration for her movies, TV series, concerts, and so on.”
"Hmm?" Everyone was a little puzzled. After all, why would Qin Mu suddenly take out these things?
However, the female celebrity sitting there suddenly widened her eyes as if she had thought of something bad. She was very clear about her tax problem. All these years, she had used various methods to avoid taxes for the television dramas and scripts she had filmed. Could it be that that matter had been discovered?
If that was really the case? She did not dare to imagine the consequences.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful. Why did she provoke Qin Mu? This fellow was simply a devilish existence. Those things that few people knew about were actually discovered by him. She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the bailiffs around her made her understand that she probably couldn't escape.
"According to the information, in recent years, the defendant has filmed 72 TV series, 108 movies, 31 music videos, and more than 500 concerts. The total remuneration of these films should be about five billion yuan. However, you can take a look at this tax record again. The tax paid is only about 500,000 yuan.”
"I don't know. When did our country's taxes become so low? Earning five billion only required paying five hundred thousand yuan in taxes? Could it be that the taxes in the entertainment industry were already so low?”Qin Mu smiled." Defendant's lawyer, you also studied law. You should know what the tax rate in the entertainment industry is, right?" Why don't you explain it to us!”
"I…"
The latter opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, he could not say them.
After all, what else could he say? Even a fool would know that this female celebrity had probably evaded taxes. Moreover, this amount was not just an ordinary amount. After all, that was a few billion in income, but she had only paid a few hundred thousand in taxes. If he had known that she had such a problem, he would never have come to be a defense lawyer.
"Since you don't want to say it, then let me do it. According to our country's tax law, the entertainment industry's tax should be around 15% to 20% of the total income. Moreover, if the annual income exceeded 100 million, the tax would increase to about 30%. Then, where did the money go? I believe that even someone who is not good at mathematics should be able to calculate this debt, right?”
"Plaintiff's lawyer, you mean that the defendant is suspected of tax evasion?”the judge asked.
"Yes, Your Honor. According to our estimation, the total tax that the plaintiff had to pay over the years should be about 1.6 billion. There are also various kinds of illegal income that have not been counted. However, the tax payment certificate given by the tax bureau is only a few hundred thousand yuan. The remaining money is probably all in his personal pocket.”When Qin Mu said this, his gaze was still somewhat cold.
After all, paying taxes was the duty of every citizen.
One had to know that in this huge country, all kinds of maintenance, military expenses, the construction of entertainment facilities, railroads, bridges, caves, disaster relief subsidies from the provinces, and so on all came from this. Yet, this person in front of him actually wanted to take even this money? Shameless!
