I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty is gathering wool again."

At a small gathering of businessmen, a businessman said with a wry smile.

"Many people have strong opinions and expressed that they will jointly submit a letter asking His Majesty to withdraw his order."

"That's not seeking death. It just tells His Majesty that they are disloyal."

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with paying more taxes. Besides, why do we need so much money? It would also be good for us to give it to the court to develop more new technologies.

Without the imperial court raising those monsters in the science and technology park, would we be able to use telephones, telegraphs, and televisions now? "

"Boss Wu, your family has a big business and you have a lot of money to spend. It's natural to say so. A small family like ours cannot withstand such a tax policy."

.......

Everyone was talking a lot, and there were actually some voices supporting the new tax policy, but I didn’t know whether they were speaking politely or sincerely.

Among those who objected, they were just verbal complaints.

When it came time to take action, everyone backed down, not even daring to sign a petition.

This is the biggest difference between them and the previous gentry.

In the past, when the imperial court formulated policies that were unfavorable to them, those gentry would not just curse them, but would immediately take action.

mobilize their personal connections to stop this policy.

The late Ming Dynasty was the peak period for the gentry, who could even block or ignore the emperor's orders.

However, during the Great China period, Wu Changqing suppressed the division of business classes, which caused the relationship between businessmen and officials to weaken a lot.

Now these businessmen want to resist, but they don’t know how to resist.

In the end, their gathering turned into a complaint meeting instead of a series meeting.

After they finished complaining, everyone went back to their respective homes.

"Dad, those people are actually worrying too much. Personal income tax looks scary, but in fact there are still many loopholes that can be exploited."

Cui Lixiao, Cui Mingchong's son, was the first graduate of Nanjing Law School and is now a well-known legal consultant.

The main purpose is to serve their own companies and help them avoid taxes reasonably.

"How to say it specifically?"

Cui Mingchong asked.

"It's very simple. If there is no income, don't we need to pay taxes? Our factory has a monthly profit of 100,000 yuan, and we use 80,000 yuan of it for expansion and investment. Doesn't this part of the profit become production costs?

By then, our assets will continue to grow and our wealth will continue to increase, but even if we don't make any money, we will naturally not have to pay taxes. "

Cui Li said with a smile.

"Wonderful."

Cui Mingchong smiled with satisfaction. He was also happy that his son was smart, but he just couldn't praise him directly.

"By extension, we can even use this to defeat our competitors. For example, in the future we will use profits to invest in building a community, and the houses in the community will be given to the core executives and technical core of our company.

In this way, we can pay them less wages and let them pay less taxes, achieving a win-win situation. You can even use this method to poach competitors’ talents..."

Cui Li continued to think about new ideas, while Cui Mingchong became more and more excited as he listened.

It’s so cool to have a son who graduated from law school.

There are policies and measures to counter.

Human creativity is always infinite.

The more complex a society is, the more it can stimulate people's thinking ability.

Cui Li was able to find loopholes in personal income tax, and the tax agencies in the imperial court were able to find ways to improve the loopholes.

Cui Li is not the only one who has graduated from law school.

Apart from the science and technology park, the most concentrated place for talents was the imperial court. People like Cui Li were actually the outcasts who failed to squeeze into the imperial court.

There are many ways to fix vulnerabilities.

For example, give the company a value-added tax name.

No matter whether your company makes profits every month or not, if the overall market value of your company has increased, you will have to pay taxes.

If you don’t give away a house and a car without paying your salary, then there will be a gift tax...

I want to give expensive gifts to others. Sorry, I have to pay the tax first.

Of course, formulating such a tax policy will cause new problems or loopholes.

The battle between the two sides will continue.

In the end, tax policies, laws and regulations will become extremely complicated, and no normal person can understand them.

Then the legal profession will prosper.

In a capitalist country, a person can live without a doctor or a teacher, but he cannot live without a tax lawyer.

The new personal tax policy makes many wealthy people dissatisfied.

Even some high-income groups and the middle class are not happy.

Although people with a monthly salary of 100 yuan only need to pay five yuan, it is still money after all.

Regardless of their dissatisfaction, the new personal income tax policy was eventually promulgated as scheduled.

According to calculations by the Ministry of Taxation, this personal income tax can increase Dahua’s tax revenue by an additional 10% this year.

This is an incredible number, which is equivalent to increasing fiscal revenue by 100 million.

Last year, Dahua’s financial revenue officially exceeded one billion yuan.

It seems like a lot, but if you compare it with later generations, you will find that one billion is pitiful.

Converted in terms of purchasing power, it is approximately equivalent to 400 billion in future generations.

The financial income of flower growers is almost 20 trillion a year.

Dahua's current overall wealth is still much worse, and its tax capacity is also much weaker.

The proportion of people with a monthly income of more than 100 yuan is actually very low.

The real tax burden is still among the group with a monthly income of less than 100 yuan.

In theory, personal income tax can be levied on people with a monthly salary of ten yuan.

However, Wu Changqing needs to consider the actual situation.

Currently, Dahua does not have computers or electronic payment and other technologies.

It is more difficult to collect taxes, the procedures are more complicated, and it takes more manpower.

Especially for those who are not well educated, having them go to the tax department to pay taxes once a month is really life-threatening.

It is not cost-effective to collect taxes on low-income groups, as most of the money collected has to go to the staff responsible for collecting taxes.

This is equivalent to a transfer of wealth, which does not play the role of using wealth to create wealth, and is meaningless.

If you want to tax this group of people, you have to wait until the tax collection method is upgraded.

Even so, with the implementation of personal income tax, Dahua will increase its fiscal revenue by at least 100 million every year.

And it’s every year, not a one-time thing.

This amount of money is still a huge amount of money for the current Dahua, and it can do a lot of things.

Of course, it is mainly used for various infrastructure construction, which can make taxpayers feel a little more comfortable.

If these people are used to improve officials' welfare benefits, taxpayers will be in trouble.

But even so, many officials were smiling.

Although money is spent on project construction, the completion of project construction is their political achievement.

No matter what, they can get something out of it.
