85家微短剧制作企业联合倡议，反对“税后片酬”

Core Viewpoint - The joint statement from 85 leading micro-short drama production companies highlights concerns over the rising costs associated with "after-tax remuneration" for flexible workers, advocating for these workers to bear their own individual income tax responsibilities [1][3]. Group 1: Industry Concerns - The joint statement reflects the industry's response to the skyrocketing actor remuneration in recent years [3]. - Initially, most lead actors in the micro-short drama industry were amateurs, receiving daily remuneration ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan [3]. - With market growth and capital influx, top actors' daily remuneration has surged to tens of thousands of yuan, while significant supporting roles have also seen increases, with some earning as much as six to seven thousand yuan per day [3]. Group 2: Financial Implications - "After-tax remuneration" requires production companies to pay additional income tax on top of the agreed remuneration for actors, leading to increased production costs [3]. - This increase in costs may squeeze budgets for other aspects of production and obscure the legal responsibilities of tax payment, posing significant tax risks [3].
