China's tax authorities reminded filmmakers, television production companies and related sectors, as well as those in high-income brackets, to look closely into their own taxpaying practices before Dec 31.

国家税务总局提醒影视制作行业企业以及高收入从业人员在12月31日前对纳税情况进行自查。

国家税务总局通知明确，从2018年10月10日起，各地税务机关通知本地区影视制作公司(film and television production companies)、经纪公司(talent agencies)、演艺公司(performing companies)、明星工作室(celebrities' studios)等影视行业企业和高收入影视从业人员，根据税收征管法及其实施细则相关规定，对2016年以来的申报纳税情况进行自查自纠(conduct self-inspection)。

Those who make remedial payments to taxation authorities before Dec. 31 will be exempt from administrative punishment and penalties.

对在2018年12月31日前主动补缴税款的，免予行政处罚，不予罚款。

从2019年1月至2月底，税务机关根据纳税人自查自纠等情况，有针对性地督促提醒相关纳税人进一步自我纠正。对经提醒自我纠正的纳税人，可依法从轻、减轻行政处罚;对违法情节轻微的，可免予行政处罚(those who conduct self-correction after targeted reminder will be given a mitigated punishment or be exempt from administrative punishment)。

从2019年3月至6月底，税务机关结合自查自纠、督促纠正等情况，对个别拒不纠正的影视行业企业及从业人员开展重点检查，并依法严肃处理(those who refuse to take action will be severely punished)。
