Personal anchors, like Souna, have the option to request cash withdrawals from the tform for their earnings derived from live streaming. However, it’s important to note that these funds are pre-tax, which means Souna is responsible for dering her taxes on her own.


    Despite this, Souna has never submitted a tax return because she fears losing a significant portion of her ie.


    Recently, the taxation department arrived at her doorstep, causing her to panic. In a moment of desperation, she quickly fabricated a story, saying, “Comrade, you understand my family situation. I have two paralyzed individuals at home who need my care, as well as an elderly person who requires assistance. It’s been overwhelming, and I haven’t been able to manage everything…”


    As she spoke, an idea struck her. She added, “It’s only been about a month since I started this live streaming gig, and I actually nned to file my tax return as soon as I wrapped up my work in the next few days…”


    The tax officials sensed that she was likely not telling the truth. However, since she had only been live streaming for just over a month, they realized that if she imed she had simply forgotten or was too busy to file her taxes, they wouldn’t be able to prove that she was intentionally avoiding them.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Consequently, one of the tax officers reassured her, “We understand your circumstances and recognize that there are objective factors involved. Therefore, we will not pursue this as tax evasion. You just need to dere your taxes based on your actual ie as soon as possible.”


    Souna instinctively inquired, “What is our personal tax rate?”


    The tax officer rified, “Your ie from live streaming is ssified asbor service remuneration, which falls under citizens’prehensive ie. The applicable personal tax rate ranges from 3% to 45%. Since your ie has reached the highest bracket, you will be subject to the 45% rate.”


    “What?!” Souna eximed, tears welling up in her eyes. “Forty-five percent… that’s just too much!”


    The tax officer replied firmly, “Souna, it is every citizen’s responsibility to pay their personal ie taxes ording to thew. In fact, our personal tax rates are rtively lowpared to other countries. The highest personal ie tax rates in Europe and Japan exceed 50%, and even the United States has a 45% rate!”


    Feeling overwhelmed, Souna realized the gravity of her situation. She thought to herself, “Now that my ie is known, I have no choice but to pay taxes. As an anchor, there are rarely positive oues in situations like this, and I suspect mine will be no different…”


    Moreover, she reassured herself, “I haven’t been doing this long, so I can use the excuse that I forgot to file or didn’t have time. I need to handle this myself; otherwise, if they catch up with meter, the taxes and penalties will be even more daunting!” At this point, Souna nodded earnestly and dered, “I’m willing to pay my taxes! I’ll take care of it immediately!”


    Even though she was now facing a tax payment that could potentially cut into her earnings, Souna reminded herself that she still had a few million in cash on hand. While it was a far cry from the fantasy of hundreds of millions or even billions, it was enough to support herself.


    Seeing her willingness to cooperate, the tax officer offered her some guidance before leaving.


    Once they were gone, Souna copsed into the interrogation chair, feeling as if she had narrowly escaped a disaster. She sighed in relief.


    Observing her demeanor, the police officer said coolly, “Souna, you should be grateful to ine for exposing you. Today, her actions prevented you from making a grave mistake!”


    Upon hearing this, Souna felt a surge of resentment and thought, “ine, that awful person, cut off my ie and now expects my gratitude? I’ll find a way to get back at her, no doubt about it!”<fnb163> Find the newest release on Find_Novel(.</fnb163>


    Noticing her dark mood, the police officer warned, “Do you think I’m joking? We’ve reviewed the video she shared. You mentioned having your husband pretend to have pancreatic cancer, your son feigning uremia, and your mother-inw acting blind from crying. The only reason you’re only facing ten days of detention is that your husband and son truly are paralyzed. If you had gone through with your scheme, it would have been ssified as fraud, which could lead to a ten-year prison sentence!”


    “What?!” Souna gasped, realizing the severity of her situation.
