film and television and cultural creativity
China's cultural industry is entering a golden era of rapid development. With the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of cultural products (including film and television works) by the public is becoming increasingly frequent and demanding. At the same time, the Chinese government has gradually attached importance to the development of local cultural industries and passed the "Cultural Industry Revitalization Plan" in 2009.
However, overall, the development of China's film, television and cultural industries is still very immature and lacks sound tax management practices, with many non compliant operations in practice. In addition, outdated tax laws and regulations are difficult to effectively apply to various investment, production, and distribution models in the film and television industry. This also increases the risk of tax treatment in the film and television industry.
