Cosma Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Mr. Mayor, I have to say that your accounting is very good!", the investigator from the State Taxation Bureau put it down With the ledger in his hand, he took off his glasses and closed his eyes wearily. There is already a pile of accounts piled up around him, all of which he has read. It took him three days to roughly read all the books, and he had to say that the tax books of Tenell City were well "compiled" and were done by veterans.

When you open any account book, you will be filled with accounts of a few cents, a few tens, and a few dollars at most. Occasionally, there are one or two large-scale tax returns, which are eventually certified as "small profits" or "charity". In the imperial tax system, no tax was levied in either case.

Meager profit refers to meager profits. In the business practices stipulated by the empire, most of the meager profit trade refers to trade related to people's livelihood, such as wheat kernels, beef and other daily necessities. The government has established uniform wholesale and retail prices, which are not affected by fluctuations caused by market supply and demand. Coupled with the existence of "grain protection areas" and "grain protection areas", the empire has exempted these low-profit trade taxes.

As for charity being exempted from taxes, it is actually normal. You must know that the just-concluded charity dinner raised more than 40,000 donations. This money can be sent directly to poor citizens in need of assistance. However, in order to avoid problems such as corruption and embezzlement, the empire It is stipulated that all funds used for charity cannot be distributed directly to those in need in cash, but in the form of materials.

For example, use charitable funds to buy food, cloth, and various things to distribute, so as to avoid a large amount of money from causing people's greed, and to prevent the money from being used by certain gangs or groups in various ways. All kinds of ways to snatch it from poor citizens. Materials purchased with charitable funds are used for charity, so there is no need to declare tax.

Perhaps this can explain why there is almost a monthly charitable donation in the old party's territory. They use this method to hide tax problems legally and legally.

The mayor who was sitting on the side smiled, not knowing whether he affirmed the investigator's statement or dismissed his statement.

The investigator shook his head with a smile. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the lens, put the glasses back in his pocket properly, and then looked at Peter, "Mr. Mayor, there is no one in this world Things can be foolproof, and nothing can be perfect." He picked up a book of accounts and trembled, "These figures may be relatively reasonable, but I believe there must still be some loopholes in it. I As a state tax officer, I have access to more ledgers than Neil's 100-year-old ledgers, and I only need to find out one mistake or omission, and all the ledgers will collapse naturally."

He put the ledger back on the table, took a sip of the cold coffee, "Maybe you don't know yet, a new decree will be announced during the mid-term general election, and the tax reform plan has been passed in the Imperial Parliament. It will be implemented in the entire empire. Your little tricks can last up to two years. After two years, after the new laws and regulations are issued, comparing the new tax with the current tax, no matter how good the fraud is, it will be worthless. significance."

"Even the more real you fake, the more painful it will be when you fall in the future."

Peter's brows twitched. He really didn't know that the reform of the tax system had passed. He had heard of such a plan before, which would turn active tax filing into passive tax filing. The current tax reporting method is that the store sells something, and then the owner records some information such as the price and type of the item in the book, and sends the book to the tax bureau for registration at the end of the month.

The tax bureau will make statistics on each sales record indicated on this account, and finally get a total amount of tax that needs to be paid, and call for payment in the first ten days of the next month.

In the final analysis, the current tax collection method is completely dependent on the self-consciousness of businessmen.

But can businessmen really have such a high awareness?

impossible!

Many merchants will only register one product when they sell three or five products, and save taxes in this way. For example, a bakery in the city can sell as much as 20 or 30 yuan of bread every day, and as little as more than 10 yuan, but their account books only sell bread for two or three yuan a day. In addition to the start and stage of commercial tax collection, the tax that needs to be paid every day is only five cents, and when it is more, it is only ten cents.

Calculated in this way, it only costs three yuan a month!

But after the tax reform, everything will be different. To put it simply, it is semi-mandatory taxation. The taxation method of each trading company is mandatory according to the nature of its business and the number of employees it employs. To give a simple example, let’s take that damn bakery as an example. First, define this bakery as “food processing and retail”, and set a taxation standard for it, for example, three yuan.

Every time a bakery hires an employee, the monthly tax payment will be three yuan more. If the bakery employs seven people including chefs and staff, and the boss himself is eight, the monthly tax to be paid is Twenty-four dollars. The tax bureau doesn't care how much bread you can sell or how much profit you make, that's how it is taxed anyway. If you feel that the management is not good and it is difficult to make a profit, then you don't have to hire employees at all, and the boss also participates in the operation. Two chefs and a boss, only nine yuan a month, will it be reduced in a short time?

Each business site must strictly register the number of employees and the nature of the business, and no mistakes are allowed. This file will be kept by the tax bureau, and it is also for the convenience of spot checks in the future. .

Of course, there are also some problems. For example, the boss only hires two chefs, and then the boss’s wife, children, and even parents come to sell, and they only file taxes for nine yuan a month. No problem, you can do this, but the tax bureau will conduct spot checks and unannounced visits from time to time. Once such illegal operations are found, the tax will be paid at the rate of 30 yuan per person per month. The tax payment span is one year.

With a penalty of 120 times, it is very likely that some small, medium and micro enterprises will declare bankruptcy because of the one-time penalty.

But this is the law. When the purpose of law enforcement is to protect the law's own wallet, there is no human favor to speak of.

Some people in the Imperial Parliament also pointed out that this crude taxation method will have great problems. Some small businesses with relatively poor management may directly go bankrupt because of this law, but compared to the entire empire's pocketbook, some The bankruptcy and bankruptcy of small businesses are simply not put in the eyes of these big shots.

Peter didn't say anything, just kept smiling, but there was a kind of contempt in his eyes. Perhaps the new party can only think of such a crude method to increase the country's income, and this just proves that the new party is extremely bad at governing the country. Even if the tax in Tenell City did increase in the future, it has nothing to do with him. It is all the fault of the regional tax officials and those treacherous businessmen.

He slapped his legs and stood up, heaving a long sigh, "Then you continue to work, I hope you can find the 'key points' you mentioned from these accounts as soon as possible, and I wish you success here. I still have things to deal with, so I’ll take my leave first, goodbye!”, he walked up to shake hands with the investigator, nodded in greeting, then turned and left with his coat and hat. For these accounts, he is not worried at all. Isn't it just to avoid problems by spending so much money every year to hire the most professional people to do this?

After leaving the door, the mayor was obviously not as relaxed as he looked in the house before, his face became a little gloomy, and the local tax officer followed closely beside him, "Keep an eye on him, and if anything happens, You must notify me immediately, if the matter is too serious..." He stopped and looked back at the local tax official behind him, his cold eyes made the local tax official tremble involuntarily.

The local tax collector gritted his teeth and nodded before the mayor patted his arm and got into the car.

If this investigator really discovers possible loopholes in the accounts, then kill him.

The old party has done this kind of thing more than once. Every year, a large amount of tax money in the city is concealed by them and then given to the high-level officials in the form of blood transfusion. Once there is a problem here, it means that many people will lose their official positions, so Peter must not If you are not careful, you have to be cruel.

After getting into the car, he also closed his eyes, and asked after a while, "Has the guy named Jon been found?"

The driver replied while driving: "Not yet, but it should be soon. There are already people wandering around the police station, and now we only need the first person to stand up."

Peter closed his mouth in satisfaction. He knew very well that no one could resist the temptation of offering a reward. No one has yet come forward to identify "Jon". At the same time, this made Peter understand one thing, that is, there are people behind "Jon", and they have a certain deterrent effect on those who know.

It's just that our mayor doesn't seem to know that his plan is facing a huge threat, and this threat comes from a car wash worker.

"You mean, he's half-breed?"

Du Lin looked at Dufo in some astonishment. The car wash worker was of mixed race, a mix of Provincial Ya and Guart, and his mother was Guart. The status of women in this society is not high, so in such a family, the customs from Gualter are compressed to the extreme, and the car wash worker does not even know how his behavior will be treated.

Du Fu curled his lips. In fact, everyone did not have an accurate statement on whether the mixed blood should be judged by the gods and the former kings, so the final choice came back to Du Lin.
