【明報專訊】AI WEIWEI has "borrowed money to pay tax". He had raised nearly 9 million yuan as of the small hours the day before last. Under Chinese tax law, a person alleged to have evaded tax may apply for an administrative review of his case if he pays his tax and an overdue fine. Ai intended to pay 8.45 million yuan to get his case reviewed. We gather that, though the Beijing Local Taxation Bureau urged him last week to pay the sum, it did an about-turn the day before last. It gave Ai an account number and told him to transfer directly 15.22 million yuan in full.
