Live streaming platforms urgently respond to the new Tax-Related Information Reporting rules! One-click tax calculation solution for streamer commissions, compliant, worry-free, and effortless

In June 2025, the Provisions on the Reporting of Tax-Related Information by Internet Platform Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the Provisions) officially took effect, marking that tax governance of the platform economy has entered an era of strong regulation. In accordance with the Provisions and multiple subsequent announcements issued by the State Taxation Administration (such as the Announcement on Matters Concerning the Reporting of Tax-Related Information by Internet Platform Enterprises and the Announcement on Matters Concerning Internet Platform Enterprises Handling Withholding Filing and Agency Filing for Practitioners on the Platform), Internet platform enterprises bear unprecedented tax-related responsibilities:

1. Identity and income reporting:The identity information of platform practitioners and the previous quarter's income information must be reported to the tax authority within the month following the end of the quarter.

2. Individual income tax withholding filing:It is required to withhold and file individual income tax for practitioners within the platform (streamers, etc.).

3. VAT filing on behalf:It is required to handle VAT and surcharge filings on behalf of practitioners within the platform.

4. Legal liability:PlatformThe enterprise is responsible for the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the submitted information and bears corresponding legal liability.

I. Industry Pain Points: Frequent Streamer Scandals and High Compliance Risks

Under the background of the new rules, tax compliance problems in the livestreaming e-commerce industry have frequently exploded, sounding alarms for platform enterprises:

- Streamers' tax evasion has become a major problem area:In 2024, the streamer "Ququ Da Nüren" was pursued for 7.58 million yuan in back taxes and fines for concealing income and converting its nature; at the end of the year, "Bai Gongzi" was also pursued for 7.49 million yuan for concealing commission income. Earlier well-known streamers such as Ping Rong, Xue Li, and Lin Shanshan were all fined for massive tax evasion.

- MCN agency involved in violations:In April 2025, an MCN agency in Guangdong was investigated for false invoicing and assisting more than 700 streamers in evading over 32 million yuan in individual income tax, and the company itself also underpaid about 21 million yuan in taxes and fees.

- Joint risk of false advertising:Top livestreamers or agencies such as Xinxuan Group, Li Jiaqi, and Luo Yonghao have all been fined heavily for false advertising, highlighting the industry's overall compliance shortcomings.

These cases reveal that traditional tax management methods relying on manual, decentralized approaches are full of loopholes, easily leading to misreporting, omission, and delayed reporting of information, and even active participation in tax evasion. Platform enterprises face enormous regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and cooperation risks. Under the precise supervision trend of "governing tax by data," establishing an automated, full-chain tax-related management system has become a necessity for survival.

II. Kailing Technology's tax calculation management module: the compliance "ballast" for live streaming platforms

Faced with the strict requirements of new regulations and the high-risk status of the industry, Kailing Technology deeply understands the core of the policies and launches an integrated tax calculation management solution, tailored for small and medium-sized livestreaming platforms, helping you resolve compliance challenges with one click and achieve peace of mind, effort savings, and safety.

1. Intelligent data source integration

▪ Automatically connect to the platform's business system and collect practitioners' real-name identity information (used for identity reporting and individual income tax personnel determination).

▪ Collect information on each transaction order in real time (for revenue reporting and tax base calculation).

▪ Accurately records the ledger of anchor commissions/fees collected by the platform (ensuring complete revenue information and meeting the tax bureau's reverse verification requirements).

2. Real-time precise tax calculation engine

▪ One-click commission tax calculation: when each streamer commission settlement occurs, the system calculates in real time the individual income tax to be withheld and paid on that income (applicable to "income from remuneration for personal services - continuous labor services") and the VAT and surcharges to be paid on behalf of the individual.

▪ Intelligent pre-tax calculation: if the streamer agrees to settle based on "after-tax income," the system can automatically and accurately back-calculate their pre-tax income from the after-tax amount, ensuring the correct tax calculation basis.

▪ Efficient correction processing: automatically identify abnormal orders such as payment failures, distinguish between pre-filing adjustments (directly correcting current period data) and post-filing adjustments (generating clear correction filing ledgers to guide subsequent tax authority operations), effectively responding to business changes.

3. One-stop Filing Management

▪ One-click generation of tax returns: based on integrated data and tax calculation results, the system automatically generates the various reports required by the Regulations:

- Identity Information Reporting Form

- Revenue Information Reporting Form

- VAT and surcharges agency filing form/summary filing form

- Individual Income Tax Withholding Filing Form (Remuneration for Labor Services - Continuous Labor Services)

▪ Seamless filing integration: supports directly submitting filing data to the tax system, or exporting standard-format files, greatly simplifying the filing process.

III. The core value of Kailing Technology's intelligent tax calculation and filing management module

▪ Compliance Without Worry:Strictly benchmark against the requirements of the Provisions and State Taxation Administration announcements, ensuring the entire process of identity information and income information reporting, individual income tax withholding, and VAT agency filing is legal and compliant, avoiding fines and reputational risks.

▪ Efficiency leap:Farewell to manual calculation and cumbersome reports. One click triggers commission tax calculation and filing form generation, compressing tax processing time from "days" to "minutes".

▪ Controllable risks:Real-time tax calculation, complete ledgers, and automatic correction mechanisms ensure a clear and traceable data chain, effectively close loopholes for streamer tax evasion and MCN-assisted violations, and clarify platform enterprise responsibilities.

▪ Cost reduction:Designed specifically for small and medium-sized platforms lacking a professional tax team, eliminating the need to hire tax experts at high salaries and greatly reducing compliance costs.

▪ Trust endorsement:During the policy dividend period, livestreaming platforms that take the lead in achieving compliance will be better able to attract high-quality streamers and MCN agencies to join, enhancing platform competitiveness and commercial value.
