The tax authorities lawfully investigate the "store visit" influencer Bai Bing's tax evasion case.
Tax, late fees, and fines totaling 18.91 million yuan have been deposited.

Recently, the State Taxation Administration, based on big data analysis of tax revenue, lawfully investigated and handled the tax evasion case of internet celebrity Bai Bing, who was “exploring stores.” Upon investigation, Bai Bing evaded a total of 9.1118 million yuan in taxes and fees, including personal income tax, value-added tax, and deed tax, from 2021 to 2024 by changing the nature of income and submitting false declarations. In October 2025, the State Taxation Administration, in accordance with the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Tax Collection and Administration and other relevant laws and regulations, made a decision to recover the owed taxes and fees, impose late payment surcharges, and levy a fine totaling 18.9124 million yuan. Currently, all involved taxes, late fees, and fines have been fully recovered and deposited. A responsible person from the tax authorities stated that evading taxes through changing income nature and false declarations is an illegal act clearly defined by the Law of Tax Collection and Administration. It not only results in the loss of national tax revenue but also seriously disrupts the normal order of economic and tax collection. The tax authorities will continue to optimize tax and fee services while resolutely cracking down on all types of tax-related illegal activities, effectively safeguarding a fair legal tax environment, and promoting the orderly and healthy development of the online live streaming industry.
