"Mr. Mayor, I have to say your accounts are doing very well!" the investigator from the state tax bureau put down his account book. He took off his glasses and closed his eyes tired. He has a mountain of accounts around him, all of which he has read. It took him three days to read all the account books roughly. He had to say that the tax account book of tenell city was "compiled" very well and made by an old hand.


    Once you open any account book, you can see the accounts of several tens and up to a few dollars. Occasionally, there are one or two tax returns with large funds, which are eventually proved to be either "meager profits" or "charity". In the imperial tax system, no taxes were levied in these two cases.


    Meager profits refer to meager profits. In the commercial acts stipulated by the Empire, meager profits trade mostly refers to the trade related to people''s livelihood, such as wheat kernel, beef and other necessities of life. The government has set a unified standard of wholesale and retail prices, which are not affected by the fluctuations caused by the relationship between market supply and demand. Coupled with the existence of "grain protection areas" and "animal husbandry protection areas", the Empire has exempted these low profit trade taxes.


    As for charity, it''s normal to be exempt from tax. You know, the just concluded charity dinner raised more than 40000 charity funds, which can be directly distributed to poor citizens in need of assistance. However, in order to avoid corruption and corruption, the Empire has stipulated that all funds used for charity cannot be directly distributed in cash to people in need of assistance, But in the form of materials.


    For example, using charitable funds to buy food, cloth and various things for distribution can not only avoid people''s greed caused by a large amount of money as much as possible, but also avoid the money being robbed by some gangs or groups from poor citizens in various ways. The materials purchased with charitable funds are used for charity, so there is no need to declare taxes.


    Perhaps this can explain why there are charitable donations almost once a month in the territory of the old party. It is in this way that they hide the tax problem reasonably and legally.


    The mayor sitting on one side smiled. He didn''t know whether he affirmed the investigator''s statement or ignored his statement.


    The investigator smiled and shook his head. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the lens, properly put the glasses back into his pocket, and then looked at Peter. "Mr. Mayor, nothing in the world can be foolproof, nothing can be perfect." he shook an account, "These figures may be arranged reasonably, but I believe there must be some loopholes in them. I am a state tax official. I have more account books than Nell''s account books in a hundred years. Just find out one mistake and all the accounts will collapse naturally."


    He put the ledger back on the table, took a sip of the already cold coffee, "Maybe you don''t know that a new law will be issued during the mid-term election. The tax reform plan has been passed in the imperial Parliament and will be implemented in the whole empire. Your tricks can last for up to two years. After two years, when the new laws and regulations are issued, comparing the new tax with the current tax, no matter how excellent the fraud is Meaningless. "


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


    Peter''s eyebrows jumped. He really didn''t know that the tax system reform had been passed. Before, he had heard of such a plan to turn active tax declaration into passive tax declaration. The current tax declaration method is that the store sells something, and then the shopkeeper records the price, type and other information of the things sold in the book, which will be sent to the tax bureau at the end of the month Registration.


    The tax bureau will make statistics through each sales record indicated in this account, and finally get a total amount of tax to be paid, which will be called in the first ten days of next month.


    In the final analysis, the current way of tax collection depends entirely on businessmen''s consciousness, but can businessmen really have such a high consciousness?


    impossible!


    Many merchants only register one item when they sell three or five items. This is a way to save taxes. For example, a bakery in the city can sell more than twenty or thirty pieces of bread and less than ten pieces of bread every day, but they only sell two or three pieces of bread every day in their account books. Coupled with the initiation and phased collection of business tax, the tax that needs to be paid every day is only five cents and more It''s very expensive when you''re young.


    In this way, it''s only three yuan a month!


    However, after the tax reform, everything will be different. To put it simply, it is a semi mandatory tax. The tax method of each trading company is mandatory according to the nature of operation and the number of employees. To give a simple example, take the damn bakery as an example. First, define the bakery as "food processing and retail" Therefore, a tax standard is formulated, such as three yuan.


    Every time a bakery employs an employee, it will pay three yuan more tax every month. If the bakery employs seven people together with the chef and waiter, plus the boss himself is eight, the tax to be paid every month is twenty-four yuan. The tax bureau will not care how much bread you can sell and how much profit you can earn. In short, this is the tax. If You think it''s difficult to make profits because of poor management. You can not hire employees and the boss can also participate in the operation. Two chefs and the boss only cost nine yuan a month. Doesn''t it come down all at once?


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


    Of course, there will also be some problems. For example, the boss only employs two chefs, and then the boss''s wife, children and even parents sell them. The tax return is only nine yuan a month. No problem, you can do this, but the tax bureau will conduct random inspection and unannounced visits from time to time. Once such illegal operations are found, the tax will be supplemented according to the tax of 30 yuan per person per month, and the span of tax supplement is one year.


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


    In the imperial parliament, it was also suggested that this rough tax method would have great problems. Some small enterprises with poor operation may go bankrupt directly because of this law, but compared with the money bag of the whole empire, the bankruptcy of some small enterprises is not in the eyes of these big people at all.


    Peter said nothing, but kept smiling, but his eyes showed a kind of contempt. Perhaps the new party can only think of such crude methods to increase the country''s income, which just proves that the new party is very bad at governing the country. Even if the taxes in tenell city did increase in the future, it had nothing to do with him. It was the fault of the regional tax officials and those treacherous businessmen.


    He clapped his legs and stood up with a long sigh. "Then continue to work. I hope you can find the ''key points'' you said from these accounts as soon as possible. I also wish you success here. I have something to deal with. I have to leave first. Bye!" he went up and shook hands with the investigator, After nodding his head, he turned and left with his coat and hat. For these accounts, he doesn''t worry at all. Isn''t it to avoid problems that he spends so much money to hire the most professional people to do it every year?


    After leaving the door, the mayor was obviously not as relaxed as he looked in the room before. His face became a little gloomy. The local tax official followed him, "keep an eye on him. If anything happens, you must notify me at the first time. If it is too serious...", he stopped and looked back at the local tax official behind him, The cold eyes made the local tax official shiver involuntarily.


    The local tax official bit his teeth and nodded. The mayor patted him on the arm and got into the car.


    If the investigator really finds a possible loophole in the accounts, kill him.


    The old party has done this more than once. Every year, a large number of taxes in the city are concealed by them and sent to the senior management in the form of blood transfusion. Once there is a problem here, it means that many people will lose their official positions, so Peter has to be careful and cruel.


    After sitting in the car, he closed his eyes and asked, "did you find the guy named Jon?"


    While driving, the driver replied, "not yet, but it should be fast. Someone has been wandering around the police station. Now it''s only the first person to stand up."


    Peter closed his mouth with satisfaction. He knew very well that no one could stand the temptation of offering a reward. Now no one has come forward to identify "Jon". It''s not that these people talk about brotherhood. They are simply afraid of being retaliated. At the same time, this made Peter understand that there were people behind "Jon" and had a certain deterrent to those who knew it.


    But our mayor doesn''t seem to know that his plan is facing a huge threat, and this threat comes from a car washer.


    "You mean, he''s a hybrid?"


    Durin looked at dufo with some amazement. The car washer was a mixed race, a mixed race of provincial Ya people and guart people, and his mother was guart. In this society, women''s status is not high, so in such a family, the customs from guarte are compressed to the extreme, and the car washer doesn''t even know how his behavior will be treated.


    Dufo turned his mouth and asked whether the mixed race should be judged by the gods and the former king. In fact, everyone did not have an accurate statement, so the final choice came back to Du Lin.
