Xu Zun sat at the dining table, nodded with a smile, put down the newspaper in his hand, and laughed at Zhang Fei beside him: "No wonder you ignored the rumors flying all over the world before. It turns out that you planned to let the people declare their own declarations.
, in this way, those rumors will be self-defeating!"
Although he is Zhang Fei's father-in-law, like Fu Bi and others, he only found out about it after reading the newspaper.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Let's talk about the matter. In fact, the articles in those newspapers and periodicals are very correct. They are not fabricated. If I want to fight with them, I will only get myself into a quagmire. After all, this is a tax, not a distribution of money.
That’s a nasty thing.”
Xu Zun nodded slightly.
If Wang Anshi just waived the yamen service, everyone would be happy, but Wang Anshi asked everyone to pay equally. They didn't have to pay before, but now they have to pay. Can you not object? This is normal. Let them pay happily.
This is impossible.
Xu Lingxiao suddenly asked: "But can people declare truthfully?"
Everyone will have this kind of doubt immediately after reading this article.
If I report less and lower my household level, I won’t have to pay taxes.
Zhang Fei shrugged slightly and said: "I don't know about this. Anyway, you are lucky if you are not randomly checked. But if you are found, you will have to admit your punishment. Moreover, there is no statute of limitations for illegal things. For example, if you lied about reporting this year
, if it is not found out, if it is found out after five years, you will still have to pay a fine."
Xu Lingxiao said in surprise: "It doesn't mean that I haven't been randomly checked, then this matter will be over."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Of course not. Many of the perpetrators were discovered years later."
Xu Lingxiao murmured to himself again: "Then who dares to conceal the truth easily?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "In my opinion, someone will test it initially to see if the tax department is really capable. Anyway, it will only be a small fine."
"I think so too."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said to Xu Zundo: "So my father-in-law may be very busy in the future."
Xu Zun was ecstatic and said: "It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy. I still think that the procuratorate is too idle. There really isn't much that can be done at the moment."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes and said, "Zhang San, then you must be very busy too."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Do you need my help?"
Xu Zun immediately frowned and said: "Qian'er, you are now a married woman, how can you still show your face outside."
You are my daughter, so I am willing to give you more freedom, but you are already married and a member of the Zhang family, so you have to pay attention to the issue of women's ethics.
"My daughter knows." Xu Zhiqian lowered her head depressedly.
She rarely goes out since she married Zhang Fei. It's not that Zhang Fei doesn't let her go out, but that she feels guilty. This change in status makes her embarrassed to go out, but with her personality, she can't stay at home.
It's really boring.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Father-in-law, I really need Zhiqian's help this time."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly raised her head.
Xu Zundao: "Don't spoil her too much."
Zhang Fei said seriously: "My father-in-law must have forgotten that this tax exemption also includes female households, and those singing girls must be among them, and some of them will definitely come to our firm to calculate taxes. I need Zhiqian's help.
"
"That's true."
Xu Zun nodded, then glanced at Xu Zhiqian, and saw tears flashing in his daughter's eyes. She looked at him with concern, then shook her head helplessly and said, "He is your wife, you have the final say."
Xu Zhiqian clenched her pink fist in excitement, and I was finally free.
Alum Tower.
"Humph, the tax department is just having a whim and allows people to declare their own taxes. Who will report the tax truthfully?"
"But if we don't do this, what can we do? The Taxation Department only has a small number of people, and if we ask them to go to every household to collect payment, they can't do it!"
"But if you are caught in a spot check, it will be very uncomfortable."
"There are hundreds of thousands of households in Bianjing alone. They can randomly check a few households, but everyone conceals the report. They say that they are all low-class households and will be randomly checked. We agree, but can the national finances withstand such a torment?
, this is simply nonsense.”
really!
With the current capabilities of the Taxation Department, it is impossible to investigate every household and can only do spot checks. The finances will indeed not be able to withstand the trouble.
Hearing the sarcasm below, Fan Yong, who was standing upstairs, shook his head, "These people just talk about it. Believe it or not, when the time comes to declare, they will never dare to make a false report."
Fan Zheng smiled and said: "They are just waiting for others to go, but no one is stupid, especially rich people like them, let alone taking such risks."
Fan Yong frowned and said, "But in this case, the tax department will have control over how much money each household makes."
Fan Zhengdao: "According to what Third Brother said, the Taxation Department will keep it confidential and will not easily leak it to others. This will make us businessmen safer, because the amount known by the Taxation Department is our legitimate rights and interests, and we will get
judicial protection.”
Fan Yong asked again: "Can the Taxation Department protect it?"
Fan Zhengdao: "The ones who really protect us are the Royal Police, the Royal Court, and the Procuratorate. I agree very much with Third Brother's statement. They are secretive. Once the court wants to investigate, we don't even have an explanation. Many corrupt officials
Don’t you always treat us like this?”
Fan Yong nodded, "That's true, then we have to prepare."
Fan Zhengdao: "I have entrusted it to Third Brother's Office. It should have been written down. When we confirm it, the office will help us declare it."
Zhouqiao.
But I saw a group of ordinary people wearing short brown clothes standing in front of a wall.
"Police boy.!"
"Can you call me Royal Police?" the young Royal Police said rather dissatisfied.
The young man who asked the question quickly changed his words: "Oh, Royal Police, what does this mean? Does it mean how much I say?"
The Royal Police said: "It should be said that the tax department will account for whatever you say, but they will conduct spot checks from time to time. If they find that the declaration is different from the actual situation, they may be sued to the royal court."
"If you go to the imperial court, will you beat us?"
"No, it's just a fine."
"Then you might as well hit us."
".!"
"The Royal Police, we don't know how to do calculations. What if the report is wrong?"
"If you say you don't know how to count, then I believe it. If you say you don't know how to count money, then I don't believe it. How much you earn every year, I'm afraid you remember it more clearly than anything else."
All the common people had awkward smiles on their faces.
The royal police officer added: "Actually, this arrangement is the best for you."
"how do I say this?"
"I have to say something offensive here. Just by looking at your address, I can tell that you belong to a lower-class household. If I were a tax policeman, I wouldn't even bother to check on you. In my spare time, I might as well check on the one on the left.
"
"Who are you looking down on?"
A young man said unconvinced.
"Sorry! Well, I hope you make more money and pay more taxes in the future."
All the people laughed and giggled, but they secretly glanced at the young man who just opened his mouth, "If you have money, you can pay it, but we don't have money."
The young Royal Policeman pointed at the notice and said: "Check your house number clearly, and go to the designated place to declare it when the time comes."
As the Royal Police posted notices one after another on public notice walls, public opinion began to reverse.
The previous public opinion had been all kinds of alarmist talk, which scared the people out of their minds. As a result, public opinion began to change, and everyone was afraid of the tax exemption.
But now that they know that they have to declare it themselves, the situation is completely different. First of all, the poor need not be afraid. According to their family wealth, they do not need to pay the exemption tax. What they were afraid of before was that they were afraid that the government would give them the tax exemption.
It's a common thing to wait for a higher rating.
The middle class were already happy that they finally no longer had to be government servants. Now with this arrangement, they feel even more at ease.
Nowadays, those alarmists have become a self-entertainment among monks, Taoist priests, officials and female households.
They would definitely dare to oppose it.
But in the end they are just a minority.
But at the same time, there are also many wealthy businessmen who don't really care about it. They are also uneasy about this approach.
Among them were major clients of the firm such as Chen Maoqian and Ma Tianhao. After seeing the news, they rushed to Bianjing Law Firm as soon as possible.
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian have been waiting here for a long time.
"Sanlang, in fact, we are all willing to pay some exemption tax, but the tax department declares it independently. That is really troublesome for us. Our transactions are very complicated and it is not easy to remember!"
Chen Maoqian complained with a dissatisfied look on his face.
The other businessmen also nodded, but there was a hint of guilt on their faces.
Xu Zhiqian looked curious when she heard this. She didn't know whether they were willing to pay taxes or unwilling to pay taxes and were just looking for an excuse.
But Zhang Fei has a clear mind.
If it was the previous system, they would just be considered a high-class household and just pay some money. The government would not carefully check their wealth. They are already a high-class household, so how can they check it.
But self-declaration makes them very depressed. They must be high-class households, so is it okay to just report on this line?
This tax is paid without a penny, but it is considered a false declaration. Will I be sued?
This involves their interests.
What to do with gray income?
This time, even the Hong family brothers from the gambling house came, but their current status could only stand in the corner and listen.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "As your Erbi, I know the whole thing clearly. Reporting is definitely more important, but these accounts are all the secrets of the tax department. Unless the official personally orders it,
Otherwise, no one can access it. This is because the Department of Taxation has a privacy law. Anyone who leaks these records will be severely punished by the officials if caught.
At the same time, the Taxation Department does not have judicial power. The Taxation Department is only responsible for tax inspections and does not care about anything else. So based on these rules, my personal understanding is that even if the money was stolen by you, it was cheated.
, this does not prevent you from paying taxes, they will only look at how much your income is, but how the income comes from has nothing to do with them. Of course, if they think you are evading taxes, they will investigate
Your sources of income.”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhiqian suddenly realized and immediately despised these businessmen. They all felt guilty, which proved that they all had gray income!
Ma Tianhao said carelessly: "What's the privacy law? Let's file a tax return. Don't we all know it in public? Can we hide it?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You want to go, but the tax department still doesn't agree. It's difficult to calculate your finances. It's not a waste of time for other people. Can't you afford to hire people to eat and drink?"
Ma Tianhao said: "Didn't we invite you?"
Zhang Fei said: "So I can help you with the statistics and report them."
Ma Tianhao chuckled: "How can you be so embarrassed? If we miss something, wouldn't it affect you?"
"Won't."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "Don't worry, you won't implicate me. Unless there is evidence that I encouraged you to lie and conceal the report, otherwise, the tax department will only investigate you. If necessary, I will
I can help you with the lawsuit, but the money will be calculated separately and is not included in the annual service fee."
The implication is that you can lie to me as much as you like, I don't care, it has nothing to do with me, if something happens I can still help you with the lawsuit and make some money on the way.
The businessmen looked at each other in confusion, fearing that they would not be able to save this money in the future.
Trial Court.
"This is a trap."
At this time, Meng Qiansheng was not as calm as before, "The traitor Wang Anshi requires government households to pay exemption tax, and the tax department here is going to make independent declarations. This is to deal with us."
Anxious!
This time they were completely anxious.
They were opposed on the surface but excited in their hearts. They relied on official governance, that is, officials in various states and counties. No matter how you legislate at the top, it will ultimately be implemented by the officials at the bottom.
However, this independent declaration means that the tax department only needs to send a group of tool workers to handle it, and there is no technical content at all.
Now, as official households, they also have to declare.
In fact, in the past, official households also had to be counted as households, but they had special privileges and did not have to pay many taxes.
As for the original system of calculating household status, the government took the initiative to check, so they had to be considerate of the world and could not go to their homes to check. Even if they really wanted to make them pay taxes, they would just report the number to them. Solved within the system.
But now they are asked to report by themselves, but they feel very uncomfortable. If they don't report, it seems to be illegal. If they are caught in a spot check, it will be embarrassing. But if they report, it will feel like they are falling into a trap, or in other words , the feeling of being suppressed.
Pei Wen, the imperial censor, said: "Meng Zhiyuan is right, we must unite to put pressure on the officials."
But Mao Chunwang, the official of the Ministry of Salt and Iron, asked: "How can we exert pressure?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
There must be a valid reason for applying pressure.
They all let you declare independently, and you can declare as much as you say. Isn't it less tolerant than the previous system?
They can only say that this is not possible because those unscrupulous people will not pay taxes and this will affect the finances.
But the problem is, they were saying before that it would increase the burden on the people, but they can't slap themselves in the face.
It really cost my life!
Meng Qiansheng asked: "Mao Ministry, do you and Li He know each other?"
Mao Chunwang said: "I don't know him, but I asked people who know him to inquire. Li He said that he is just a worker, and these have nothing to do with him."
Meng Qiansheng asked: "Is the random inspection related to him?"
Mao Chunwang said: "He said that he doesn't know yet how to carry out spot checks at that time."
Liu Shi slapped the table and said, "We won't declare it. I believe other colleagues will not pay attention to it. Does his tax department dare to investigate the civil and military officials of the entire court?"
Everyone, you look at me and I look at him.
What he shouted was fierce.
If there is really an investigation, this official may be lost!
As for working so hard?
An official sitting at the end said Weiweiruo: "I heard that many wealthy businessmen go to Zhang San to calculate their taxes. Their firms can report directly to the tax department."
