China’s highest-earning actress Fan Bingbing has been fined nearly 500 million yuan (US$70 million) for tax evasion and other irregularities but will escape criminal prosecution, the country’s tax authorities announced on Wednesday, over three months after the star disappeared from public view.

 

State news agency Xinhua reported that she had avoided about 300 million yuan in taxes.

 

Fan’s agent has been detained by the police for further investigation, it added.

Imagine paying $90 mil more because you wanted to avoid paying $40mil.

Lol, I know. I can't with this kind of people.

That's the thing I can never understand - sure they avoid paying their taxes in the short term, but at the cost of paying more when they get caught and possibly facing criminal charges? You'd think they'd be smart enough to just pay them and save themselves the trouble (then again, these are the same kinds of idiots of who think they're special and won't get caught or suffer the consequences).

And she's only worth 100 million. Might as well file for bankruptcy while shes busy 

[Going Crazy]

$70 is the fine alone

[Huanghe]

$70 million dollars in evading tax???  I mean, no one likes to pay tax but you gotta pay your tax. 

[SeeYaWithYou]

idk why rich people are afraid to lose money. you will lose more of you don't pay right taxes.

just work more so you can have more money.

Fan expressed her support for young directors, saying that she will reduce her pay when working with them. â€œI think having a lot of money is not something that I particularly value,â€she explained.

 

the lies...

[versace]

its what she deserves

[Pupp�y]

Mess. Did she really think she could get away with it girl.... 

[Gappy 2x2]

its what she deserves

It's to be paid by her and companies related to her. She won't be broke.

[Lightning]

Wow, all the gossipers must be disappointed. Saying she was going to go to jail or be banned from acting. Or that she had fled to America as a fugitive.

 

Turns out it's just a fine that she has the money to pay and will earn back in the next few years.

 

I'm glad it's over so now I can look forward to her Hollywood spy movie 355 with Jessica Chastain.

[mrs.otter]

that's a lot :/ but yeah, she should've paid her them taxes.

[OmegaStar]

That's a lot, but why didnt she get some jail time too?? She committed a huge crime. Jackie chan's son got jail time for some weed.

 

I have zero sympathies for rich people who commit tax evasion.
