The first thousand one hundred and twenty-ninth chapters are honorable to pay taxes
Chen Lifu is famous all over the world, and his contribution is certainly huge. As the director of the Department of Finance, although Xie Yiwei is not the specific person in charge of the reform, his contribution is also indispensable.
Many times, if you want to achieve political achievements, you don't need to personally go into battle. If you use good people and let your subordinates achieve results, as a boss, he will also achieve political achievements.
When Chen Lifu's name began to spread throughout Jinling's officialdom, and even throughout the world's financial industry, it also made countless securities practitioners cry wolf!
No, it’s Chen Rentu who’s here!
Immediately after the reform plan was announced, the Ministry of Justice, in coordination, promulgated a brand new securities law. The new securities law directly plugged many loopholes in the past.
This blocks the loophole, which basically means blocking a lot of people’s wallets!
In the past, many securities companies and other practitioners used loopholes in many of their operating methods. In the past, there were no relevant laws to prohibit and punish them, but this is no longer the case. Many illegal operating methods have been banned by order.
One of the most conspicuous new laws, which has caused countless securities practitioners to frown, is the prohibition on using inside information to make profits from trading!
At the same time, a series of other rules have been formulated. The main purpose is to prohibit some illegal operations, especially to prohibit shareholders of large institutions and listed companies from conducting illegal operations, and then make money from ordinary investors such as small institutions or retail investors.
After the promulgation of the new securities law, the Ministry of Taxation followed up promptly. This time they invented a brand new tax specifically for the financial industry, called financial income tax!
In the past, if you kept your money in fund companies or made money by trading stocks on your own, you would not have to pay taxes according to previous tax laws because the Ministry of Taxation did not specify relevant tax laws. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of securities reform, the Ministry of Taxation
Financial income tax is directly designated, specifically taxing stock income, interest income and other income!
The tax rate is not high, only 20%!
The people in the tax department thought that the taxes they collected were not high, but as soon as this tax came out, a group of people and employees cried out, saying that the people were having a hard time making a living.
Qian Zuoli of the Ministry of Taxation recently had a battle with Song Ruangao. The battle was not the key, the key was losing. He watched helplessly as Song Ruangao gradually took control of the Ministry of Finance and completely cleaned up his influence. Therefore, he was in a very mood recently.
not good!
I heard that the financial industry, led by the securities industry, was very dissatisfied with the financial income tax, saying that people were having a hard time making a living, etc. Qian Zuoli was very angry!
Damn it, it’s as if he doesn’t know how much these people in finance earn, and they don’t pay taxes even if they earn a lot, don’t even think about it!
I thought that the first time I cut leeks, I would use a slightly lighter force and boil the frog in warm water, and then gradually increase the tax rate.
But the thought of such a strong reaction made him angry. As soon as he passed the official document, another tax type was added. This time, it was called financial income tax, with a tax rate of 10%.
God knows what the difference is between financial income tax and financial income tax, but the point is, when these two items are added together, the tax rate suddenly becomes 30%!
Qian Zuoli also let the news out, saying that if the financial industry is dissatisfied with the tax this time, he will prepare to collect the financial stamp tax in advance, which will be implemented several years later. It will not be much, only 5%!
This time, people in the financial industry will be honest!
Everyone said that the 30% tax rate is not high, not high at all, and is acceptable. It is their honor to pay financial taxes and contribute to the empire!
When Qian Zuili learned about it, he snorted coldly: "They are all a bunch of cheap people. After so many years, don't you know where the word "paying taxes is honorable" comes from!"
How did it come about? The words "paying taxes are glorious" were poured with countless blood by the tax inspection team!
Under the strength of the Imperial Taxation Department for so many years, the concept has basically been formed, that is, it is honorable to pay taxes, and to go to jail for resisting taxes.
If it was the Ming Dynasty or some other traditional dynasty that had such a strong taxation system like the Tang Dynasty, it would probably have caused chaos long ago. All the gentry and businessmen in the world would be shouting about the emperor and the people competing for profits.
Then there were all kinds of turmoils, and in the end, they all ended in nothing, with the reform failing and the landlords winning.
But in the Tang Empire, this kind of thing did not happen.
Faced with the taxes levied by the Tang Empire, especially the unified taxation of the gentry, the shareholding system, and the commercial tax system, almost all gentry, landlords and merchants strongly opposed it. For this reason, armed tax resistance broke out not once or twice, but
Thousands of times.
Faced with this situation, other dynasties would probably have backed down long ago, but the Tang Empire did not back down!
Instead, they continue to maintain a high-pressure attitude and use tax inspection teams and even the army to carry out various suppressions. In recent years, the number of people who have died because of tax resistance has been not only 100,000 but also 80,000. This number is not a small number.
Quantitative changes in killing will lead to qualitative changes.
As the saying goes: Killing one is a sin, killing ten thousand is a hero. Killing nine million is a hero among heroes.
This sentence cannot be simply understood as killing people literally. The creative background must also be considered. This sentence comes from "Bloodbath of Little Fusang" to commemorate the Nanjing Massacre, so we will give a targeted explanation based on the background. In fact, the meaning of this sentence
That is, killing one Fuso Japs is a crime, killing 10,000 Fuso Japs is a hero. If you can kill all the Fuso Islands, you will be a hero among Chinese heroes!
Let me ask, who among Chinese men doesn’t want to be a hero?
The tax policy of the Tang Empire was similar. If you kill someone who resists taxes, you will be scolded, but if you kill all those who resist taxes, no one will scold you. Instead, they will shout about the honor of paying taxes.
Didn’t you see, in the tenth year of Xuanping, those landlords and gentry have behaved themselves, paid taxes honestly, and made outstanding contributions to the development and prosperity of the Tang Empire!
Now, it is the turn of the financial industry to contribute to the empire!
The financial industry is originally an industry that relies on money. However, due to the lack of supervision in recent years, its employees have become extremely rich. The annual salary of ordinary practitioners is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the annual salary of senior officials is tens of thousands of taels of silver.
There are also quite a few.
How can such an industry do without collecting taxes? They must be collected, and they must be collected severely!
The new tax policy issued by the Ministry of Taxation can also be regarded as part of the reform of the securities industry!
Chen Lifu was originally from the Ministry of Taxation and has a natural affinity for tax collection. It is also his idea to carry out legal and reasonable taxation of the financial industry.
The securities industry has carried out reforms, plugged many loopholes, and has also begun to collect taxes legally and reasonably. This will naturally have a big impact on the financial industry, and may even trigger a new round of reshuffle in the financial industry. However, this is a financial industry
It is inevitable for the industry to develop towards formality. We cannot allow the financial industry to develop in such a barbaric way just because we are afraid of reshuffle, which will cause greater harm!
Of course, it is unknown how many people hated Chen Lifu, who proposed the securities reform plan, during this process, but it will definitely be more than the number of people who committed suicide after the stock crash.
But in this world, there are many people who want Chen Lifu dead. In the past few years, Chen Lifu has experienced assassinations that seemed to be accidental, but he is still alive and well.
Many people who wanted him dead died.
Then again, only people like Chen Lifu who don't have too many worries and want to do big things can do things like securities reform. If they are ordinary officials, they will not do such a thankless thing.
Woolen cloth.
I came to the Yamen every day to drink tea and read newspapers. When I was short of money, a large number of people from securities companies and other financial industries lined up to deliver it. I don’t know how comfortable my little life was.
But this comfort comes at a price!
The director of the Finance Department was demoted to Shankara in the southwest. Not to mention, I heard that the man climbed mountains and waded in rivers, and it was not easy for him to take up the post. As a result, the Ministry of Personnel began to prepare for his new appointment. Next
It's unclear where he's going, but one thing is certain, he can't expect to return to Jinling City in this life.
In addition, dozens of other former officials in the Financial Department were taken away by the Inspectorate and are currently in prison. They are also about to face their own trials. Many of them will be sentenced to death, and even more will be imprisoned.
And these people in jail can't expect to spend their whole lives in prison safely. The Tang Empire's finances are tight and they will never provide for idle people. There are generally three destinations for sentenced criminals!
One is that prisoners who are also sentenced to exile will be exiled to some bitter cold places or overseas territories depending on the seriousness of the case. Domestically, there are Dajuan Island, Qiongzhou Island, Northeast China, Yunnan-Guizhou Island, Northwest China, etc. Overseas, there are
Luzon Islands, Banten Islands, Australia, etc.
If you are not sentenced to exile, then if you are just serving an ordinary sentence, many of you will enter some specific mining areas to mine. In addition, there are also factories inside the prison, and you may work in the factory.
If you want to lie in bed peacefully, eat and drink without having to do anything, how can such a good thing happen, let alone a prisoner, even a small landowner!
Whether they are sentenced to death, imprisoned, or exiled, it is actually the same for these once high-ranking officials. They have gone from heaven to hell in an instant, which is enough to make them regret for the rest of their lives.
Reforms were launched in the securities industry, and Chen Lifu became famous because of the reform plan. As Chen Lifu's immediate boss, Director of the Department of Finance Xie Yiwei was also very happy.
Strictly speaking, he didn't do anything, but no one can deny his role in this matter!
It was precisely because of the Director of the Department of Finance, who did not even understand the business differences between commercial banks and securities companies, that Chen Lifu had the opportunity to meet the emperor, and then the securities reform plan could smoothly enter the implementation stage.
Xie Yiwei seems to have done nothing practical, but his role is still crucial!
Many times, a boss does not say that he must be able to do things, or even that he does not need to do things. As long as he can put people who can do things in the right position and provide certain support, then this is a qualified or even worthy person.
Be a successful boss.
It's a pity that not many people can do this!
So most of them are lost to everyone, but Xie Yiwei has gradually been promoted, and now he has become the director of the Department of Finance. In the future, maybe he can become a minister or even a minister!
This kind of person is what Chen Lifu hates the most. He does nothing but exploits the merits of his subordinates as a means of promotion and then occupies a high position. This is actually a traitor to the country.
Especially such an important position as Director of the Financial Services Department must not be allowed to be stolen by someone like Xie Yiwei for a long time!
Sooner or later, he will take his place!
Not for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but for the common people in the world!
