Overseasidol.com — Chinese public figure Ding Zhen, who rose to fame through viral social media exposure, has come under public discussion after records showed tax arrears linked to his personal studio.
According to corporate risk information databases, Sichuan Xiaomashaonian Culture Media Studio, solely owned by Ding Zhen, recently received two public notices regarding unpaid taxes totaling over 34,000 yuan.
The outstanding taxes reportedly involved urban maintenance and construction tax as well as value-added tax (VAT).
The studio was established in June 2021 with a registered capital contribution of 3 million yuan and operates in areas such as commercial performances, artist management, and radio and television program production.
The issue quickly drew attention online and became a trending topic on Chinese social platforms. In response, Ding Zhen’s studio released an official statement addressing the matter.
The management explained that the delayed tax payment was caused by negligence from an external accounting professional responsible for handling the studio’s tax affairs.
According to the statement, the studio immediately contacted the local tax authorities after discovering the oversight and has since paid the full outstanding amount along with late payment penalties.
The studio described the incident as an accidental administrative error and stressed that there was no intentional attempt to evade taxes.
