Cosma Empire

Du Lin originally planned to leave early the next morning, but after this happened, he would definitely go to the Starlight Brokerage Company Lou Lu to tell everyone that the company had changed owners, but everything was the same as before. He will not interfere with any daily work, and Madur is still in charge, and he will only stand up when he needs to solve some problems.

In addition, he also made an appointment with Lani.

The last time I met Lani was on the official business day of Odis City. He and Lani had some small tax plans. If this part of the plan can be implemented, it will also increase a lot of tax revenue for the empire. Durin believed that Magus actually knew that there was a tax discussion between him and Lani. In addition to not caring much about Du Lin's affairs, someone needs to be on the front line to charge for the reform, but it is definitely not him who goes into battle in person.

This question about taxation is a new type of taxation.

When Durin talked about this idea, Lani called it a genius idea. There is no doubt that more and more wealth of the empire is controlled by fewer and fewer people. Wealth that is difficult to accumulate, if there are no more restrictions on them, this will enter an endless loop for a period of time-the rich squander their wealth and create a new batch of capitalists, and these new born capitalists and old capitalists Not much difference, maybe even worse.

At the same time, these newly born capitalists will be divided into two situations. The first type is only in and out, and the second type is in and out.

In many fields, such as cobblers, tailors and other prestigious craftsmen, they mostly exist in the form of families or masters and apprentices. If the money goes into their pockets, if they don’t go out, it will form a cumbersome financial black hole. . These people are not like those big capitalists who started to build factories everywhere, created a large number of jobs and hired many workers. They didn't hire many workers, and they didn't need to "feed back" to society. When the currency in circulation continues to decrease, people will I found out that many things are unaffordable.

The continuous decline in purchasing power has caused a passive deflation of the currency. This situation will lead to unsold goods, and those who want to buy do not have much money to spend on shopping. They can only deposit money in the Imperial Central Bank. This kind of behavior seriously inhibits the productivity of society and causes huge damage to the overall economic structure.

As for another batch of new capitalists created, they will continue to exploit the working class to save costs and sell their goods at higher prices.

On the one hand, the circulation of currency is blocked due to passive deflation, and on the other hand, regional inflation is caused by the continuous rise of some prices. In the end, only civilians will be unlucky, not those capitalists. So when Duhring proposed to cut the wool from these capitalists again, Laney immediately said that he could continue to follow Duhring's idea, improve the luxury tax system, and then levy it on the entire society.

The two met at a horse farm on the outskirts of the imperial capital. The northern nobles always called themselves elegant gentlemen. They liked some gentlemen's sports very much, and playing polo was obviously one of them. Riding on a steed's horse and wielding a club like a weapon, dismembering the opponent's line to win in constant conflict is an activity that every noble gentleman likes very much. There is an elegant side and a brave side.

But it's a pity that Du Lin doesn't know how to play polo, and the two sat in the sealed stands outside the polo field near the edge. This weather is not suitable for gentlemen to play polo in person, but the players they raise don't need to consider these things question. Gambling is sometimes a very elegant game, especially when the players are nobles.

"I have discussed with some taxation experts several times about the luxury tax collection plan, and now we have two plans!" Lani looked at Du Lin who was listening carefully, looked around and whispered, "The first One option is to levy 35% of the selling price of the item,

No matter who pays the money, as long as one piece is sold, we must get the tax. "

"The second plan is two-way collection. We split the luxury tax into two parts, the luxury tax and the enjoyment tax. The tax rate is not less than 20%, and the buyer and the seller make up for it."

"Which plan do you think is better?"

After hearing this, Du Lin shook his head, "I'm very sorry, Lani, to be precise, these two plans are very poor...don't look at me like this, I will tell you the reason!", Du Lin drank from the cup Taking a sip of hot coffee, he took two sugars from the sugar bowl and threw them in, "No matter what the content of the plan is, there is currently no implementation plan, because you can't prove the existence of a commodity. , and it is impossible to determine the price of a commodity when it is traded, maybe they are just giving away?"

Lani pursed his lips and nodded. He had also considered this matter, and he thought it was not a big trouble. At present, most of the big capitalists are of noble origin. No matter how these nobles are now, they will abide by the upbringing that nobles should keep. Honesty is one of them. If the Imperial Parliament can be persuaded to legislate, then this matter is completely fine, and they will take the initiative to pay taxes.

However, he also wanted to hear how Du Lin solved this trouble. Whether it is the Empire or the Federation, they actually have the same troubles.

Du Lin said a word with a smile, a very unfamiliar word, "Invoice!"

"Invoice?" Madur recalled that such an unfamiliar word did not exist in the vocabulary he had come into contact with. He couldn't help asking, "What is an invoice?"

Du Lin laughed loudly, "Good stuff!"

Magus wanted to turn Durin into a knife, and Durin also wanted Magus to become a knife that would completely destroy the "aristocratic system".

He and Lani explained in detail the benefits and practical significance of the "invoice". Must be the old party camp. This group of nobles used various means to retain tax revenue and become the nourishment of the old party. This is also the tax malpractice that the new party has always wanted to eradicate.

But the problem is that the old party is very "dedicated" in this regard. They can always make good-looking accounts, and they will also make fake accounts for free for the big capitalists on their own sites, which may lead to the addition of tax revenue for each city in a year. It's only hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Occasionally, some cities have two or three million, which may be an accident. But if there is such a thing as an invoice, even if this kind of behavior of the old party cannot be eliminated, it can still stab them severely in their important source of political funds.

At this time, Lani's first consideration is to use the invoices for political struggles, and then to spread the benefits to all aspects of society. The income of capitalists has become a little more transparent, and at the same time, part of the funds can be returned to the bottom of the society through invoice subsidies, expanding the support of the bottom citizens for the new party, and at the same time, people can buy as many items as possible in this way When asked for an invoice.

This is Du Lin's suggestion. According to the invoice or called the sales certificate or purchase certificate, no matter what, according to the type of purchase on this thing, the tax collection point and the size of the amount, provide 1/10,000 to 5%. subsidy. It seems that this is not a huge amount. After all, if the foundation is small, the rebate is also very small, but one thing needs to be noted, consumption has inertia and continuity.

If a family spends 25 yuan a month on daily necessities, such as food, they can get a 5% subsidy. It costs ten yuan for four months, and thirty yuan for a year, which is equivalent to an extra month's salary. This may not be a big sum of money for an ordinary family, but it is also a sum of money that cannot be given up.

This can develop people's habit of asking for invoices. As for those big capitalists, the amount on the invoices is tax deductible to a certain extent, and they are also allowed to ask for invoices on their own initiative. Once this mechanism can be implemented smoothly, it will bring great benefits to tax Come huge benefits and upgrades.

Lani's mind is full of follow-up ideas, and he thinks it is very meaningful to chat with Du Lin, because the ideas he provides always give him too much inspiration.

After the two chatted for a while, Rani couldn't sit still. The new year has begun, and there is still a lot of new work to be done. Next week, there will be the first imperial parliament of the year. He needs to sort out something and submit it. .

After inviting Lani to have a chance to visit the city of Odis, Du Lin left the imperial capital by car. His time in Odis may not be too long, and he will be transferred within this year at most. On the one hand, he provided the new party with a lot of "ammunition" to attack the capital forces that have seriously penetrated into all aspects of the empire, and at the same time attacked the old party. He had done his job well as a sharp knife, and it was time for him to return to the sheath.

He has already been mentally prepared for this, and his limelight has been a bit too much recently. No matter whether Magus is to protect him or to suppress him, he will be transferred from Odis City as a countermeasure to him. "Exercise", this is also his opportunity.

He now has a lot of money in his hands, which will be an important capital for him to appear in front of people in another image, and he has been planning for a long time for this.

After the New Year, the city of Odis is as calm as a small village in the west. The heavy snow cover hinders the arrival of tourists, which also allows everyone to have a very good rest time. But Du Lin couldn't rest, because the eighth district of Illian City was completely completed, and as one of the largest investors, he needed to attend another completion ceremony.
