Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1949: estate tax

Therefore, the tax department adopts a combination of taxes and fees. Taxes still have to be paid, but turn a blind eye. As long as you pay any tax, the tax department will ignore you, but this fee is unavoidable. For example, various types of management fees and special fees are all fixed amounts, which must be paid by merchants, or they will be sealed if they are not paid, in order to make up for tax losses.

but!

Even though the tax department has done a lot of work, the results are still not great.

What's more, for a huge empire whose fiscal annual revenue has exceeded 400 million Tang Yuan, the tax revenue of ordinary small traders is not much, but it is not too much.

Datang's main tax revenue mainly comes from enterprises that are officially registered and operated, because the accounts between enterprises must go to bank accounts. The accounts are not public, and outsiders do not know how much the company earns and loses. , but other people or institutions do not know.

But the tax department, which has the privilege of accessing various accounts in almost all financial institutions such as all banks and funds in the entire empire, is clear at a glance.

Corporate tax, including income tax, value-added tax and other taxes, is expected to reach 200 million in the 38th year of Xuanping. This is a rather astonishing figure. Intuition accounts for 50% of all taxes. .

And this does not include tariffs and business taxes such as ordinary self-employed.

If you count tariffs and various industrial and commercial taxes, then the entire industrial and commercial industry (excluding personal income tax and other personal taxes), that is, the primary industry and the secondary industry, the taxes they contribute probably occupy Seventy percent.

As for the agricultural tax, the proportion is only 20%, and the total amount is only 80 million.

Datang's agricultural tax has not increased for so many years, but has declined. At its peak in the early years, the agricultural tax once reached 100 million, but now it has been reduced to 80 million.

Then there are various special taxes, such as tobacco and alcohol tax, salt tax and other special taxes. There are also tens of millions here, but most of the two major ones, salt and tobacco, enter the treasury in a profit-making way or invest in re-operation. , so strictly speaking, it is not included in the tax list.

The last item is personal taxation, including personal income tax and incidental income tax, etc., but all of these items add up to only a few million.

In this regard, the Ministry of Taxation is quite dissatisfied. They believe that the current taxation system of the Datang Empire, especially the taxation system in industry and commerce, has reached its limit.

At least with the existing statistics, communications, and taxation costs, it is difficult for the Ministry of Taxation to tap into the taxation within the industrial and commercial system.

For example, everyone knows that cracking down on cash transactions can greatly increase taxes, but you can show me that by cracking down on one, even if it is now common for people in Datang to use cheques.

Transactions between companies, and relatively large transactions between individuals, generally use checks.

But private use of checks is limited to middle and upper class people. If you don't have a certain amount of deposits in your bank account, the bank won't give you a check book.

This also means that, in fact, the vast majority of individuals still do not have checkbooks. Whether they make money or spend money, they all use cash.

After the existing tax system, especially the tax on enterprises and self-employed individuals, it is difficult to increase on a large scale, the Ministry of Taxation has to turn its attention to other places.

For example, this person's taxes.

In the beginning, they were more ruthless and wanted to engage in inheritance tax, and the amount was very large, starting at 50%.

But this hasn't come out yet, just a little bit of wind has already caused a violent rebound.

The inheritance tax, the starting point is naturally to balance the wealth of the society, to curb the continuous concentration of wealth, and to ease the polarization of wealth.

but!

No matter when, those who have the right to speak are the elites who have a lot of resources in society. They clearly understand the use and harm of inheritance tax, so they just heard rumors of inheritance tax leaking from taxation, and they all agree. The direct attack directly killed the inheritance tax plan of the Ministry of Taxation, and many of them were still officials within the Ministry of Taxation.

In fact, the outside world does not know that the tax department has tried to engage in inheritance tax!

If you even know it, in fact, the inheritance tax will probably not be passed.

Because the group that occupies public opinion, that is, the upper class, will not support it, and they are not willing to hand over half of their huge family wealth to the state treasury. Even if it is possible to avoid tax, tax avoidance is also risky. It is better to kill it at the source. .

The lower-class people follow what others say, and they believe whatever the middle- and upper-class people say.

For example, inheritance tax, there must be a tax-free limit, but when someone says "boil a frog in warm water", the tax department will have a hundred mouths!

Now there is a tax-free quota, but what about next year, the year after, fifty years later, and one hundred years later?

Therefore, the problem of inheritance tax is not the tax rate or the tax exemption limit, but the problem that most of the upper classes are unwilling to open this hole.

Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the general support of Datang society!

But it is very interesting that the middle-class group here.

On the one hand they would love to see the rich pay estate tax, but the latter point is the most important, which is that they absolutely do not want to pay estate tax themselves.

To put it bluntly, you just want the benefits and don't want to pay anything.

Therefore, the middle class is the social group that loves to dream during the day!

Therefore, even if the inheritance tax is implemented, it will only be levied on the ordinary middle class or even the bottom. As for the real rich and powerful, there are a lot of legal and reasonable ways to avoid it.

The most profitable lawyers in Datang are not criminal lawyers, but tax lawyers.

And these tax lawyers make so much money, of course, because they can save employers from paying more taxes.

But ordinary people can't do this. It is difficult and expensive to legally avoid taxes, and ordinary people can't do it.

However, in this way ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the rich and powerful can continue to be handsome, and the bottom layer may also avoid being levied inheritance tax because of a certain amount of tax exemption.

But the middle class is struggling, they can't evade taxes and can't get tax-free quotas.

They have worked hard all their lives, regardless of whether they make money legally or illegally, but when they die, their heirs must pay more than 50% inheritance tax if they want to inherit their inheritance!

When Lao Tzu died and left money to his son, he still had to pay taxes?

Also, we ordinary people don’t need to pay, but why can those rich people avoid inheritance in various ways?

This is simply unreasonable.
