Chapter 142 Taxation
At the beginning of the 6th year of the Sun Era, when the temperature rose and the soil thawed, every household began to cultivate the land.

Last year, newly married men and women, some joined the team of land reclamation, and some began to build new houses, and they all got busy.

Before the opening, the arbitral tribunal convened a general meeting and added a government affairs department, with A Lan as the minister, in charge of land cultivation, housing construction, household registration management, and marriage registration.At the same time, plans for the new year were formulated.

The main task of the military this year is to open up the road to the mine, and the Ministry of Industry needs to build more weapons, rack vehicles and agricultural tools.

The Ministry of Finance shall formulate tax policies to increase fiscal revenue and provide funds for the construction of Sun City.Originally, the income from iron ore alone was far from enough.

Lin Yan, as the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, spoke at the conference and said that he will develop more good things and cultivate more talents.

What is most in short supply now is the financial personnel. There are various accounts and preparations for the implementation of taxation. There are far from enough people in the financial department.At the age of 14, you can work in the finance department if you can pass the assessment. The first batch of ten people will be recruited.

As Fenghua's right-hand man, Shui Sheng is already the pillar of the finance department, and he will take on the important task of formulating tax policies.

Shuisheng is 16 years old this year and is already an adult.He has accepted the latest ideas, and has been learning from Lin Yan, and his style of acting is quite similar to Lin Yan.

When he received a task to formulate taxes, Shui Sheng went to Lin Yan for advice.

When the arbitral tribunal was established, Lin Yan mentioned taxation, but the conditions at that time did not allow it to be implemented. Now everything is on the right track and the time has come.

The current Shuisheng is tall and thin, and long-term exercise has not made him stronger. He often stays indoors. His skin has faded from dark and turned into a chestnut brown. His black hair is soft and docile, and he looks a bit gentle. .

Seeing such Shui Sheng, Lin Yan suddenly felt that time had passed, and the thin boy had grown up.I also changed from a milk doll to a little girl.

She sighed: "Time flies so fast, Shuisheng is already an adult, the pillar of the finance department, Fenghua has such a good vision, entrusting such a big matter to you."

Shuisheng smiled shallowly, and his slender eyes were full of tenderness, "You have grown up too. Minister Fenghua valued you and knew our relationship, so he asked me to do this. Regarding taxes, I want to hear Listen to your opinion. I thought about it, people are just getting enough to eat, and if you want to tax you, you have to start with the high-income people."

Lin Yan shook his head, "You're right. But I think that the proportion of high-income people is too small, and they don't receive much tax. I've thought about this problem too. We need to start with commercial tax and agricultural tax."

"What is commercial tax and agricultural tax?" Shui Sheng heard it for the first time, and he knew that Fenghua asked him to do something, and he must be trying to find Lin Yan's help through him.

All he had to do was to draw up a first draft from Lin Yan's ideas, and submit it to the arbitral tribunal for discussion and review.Everything still needs to be based on Lin Yan's thoughts, and it can be perfected only after there is a framework.

Lin Yandao: "Business tax means that people who do business have to pay taxes. For example, my restaurant and various factories charge a certain percentage of their operating income. For example, when the monthly quota reaches 2 yuan, the tax is 5%. [-] yuan is levied [-] percent, etc., and so on."

Shuisheng's eyes lit up, "The higher the income, the more taxed?"

Lin Yan nodded, and elaborated a lot on the tax calculation and Shui Sheng.

After finishing talking about the commercial tax, she said: "Agricultural tax is a tax based on land. The amount of tax per mu of land is determined, and the tax can be offset by grain. The newly opened land can be exempted from tax for two years, and the tax will be levied after two years. Taxes. It happens that the detailed records of the land have been prepared by Yucai, and they can be checked when taxes are collected.”

Shui Sheng listened very carefully, he kept everything Lin Yan said in his heart, and immediately went back to sort it out, and listed the regulations for Lin Yan to review and revise.

Paper production in paper workshops has increased, and this year office records have been gradually replaced with paper, gradually replacing wood chips.

Back in the finance department, Shuisheng took out his notebook and pen, thought for a while and began to write, unconsciously writing a few pages.After listening to Lin Yan and writing it by myself, I realized that there are many problems involved. It is necessary to list all kinds of situations clearly so that there are fewer mistakes in implementation.

Back home at night, Lin Yan and Hua Hong mentioned the tax collection, the restaurant and the land at home will be taxed.

Huahong was shocked, "What do you mean, the land was developed by our family, why do we have to pay? The restaurant is also our hard-earned money, why do we have to pay?"

Jin Zai didn't understand either, "What are you doing with the money? Why do you have to pay? We can't hand over the money we earn ourselves."

Lin Yan guessed that they would be like this. It should be said that most people don't understand why there is a tax.

"Lin Yan, you are talking, why is there a tax, did you bring it up?" Hua Hong hurriedly asked, but she couldn't figure out why she had to pay.

Lin Yan hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, just listen to me. We are all part of Sun City. To build Sun City better, we need to spend money. Where does the money come from? Of course, everyone needs to create it. The tax money is also taken from the people and used by the people. Just like the road in front of the door needs to be maintained, and the drinking water canal needs to be cleaned up. These are public affairs that need to be managed by the arbitration court, and they all cost money.”

"The current fiscal revenue is too little, and we have to pay the salaries of civil servants and other public expenses. Therefore, we must increase fiscal revenue. Only when the fiscal revenue is rich can we do more good things that benefit the people. For example, the road to the mine needs to be repaired. , This is beneficial to everyone. Without money, who wants to work. To put it bluntly, it is to pool everyone's money to meet public needs."

Huahong seems to understand, "You are right to say that, I won't say anything about taxation in every place. But why do restaurants charge taxes? We earn hard money, and it has nothing to do with others."

"Aniang, although the restaurant is our own, we have also taken up public resources. For example, if there is a dispute, should we ask civil servants to mediate? We have borrowed public power. The restaurant can be opened because of the management of Sun City, and people's lives Only those who are rich can come to our restaurants to consume, these are invisible, invisible to the naked eye, so they feel that they have nothing to do with themselves.”

Hua Hong thought for a while before saying: "According to what you said, Ye Zi's oil workshop should also be taxed, as well as clothing workshops, wood factories, kiln factories, and smelters, right?"

"Yes, Auntie understands it?" Lin Yan looked at Huahong in surprise, "These are all business transactions, and you have to pay taxes. The tax law should be issued in a few days, and the tax standards will be listed. Our family The restaurant shouldn't be able to pay much, so don't worry too much, Aniang."

Jin Zai was taken aback when he heard that, "A new method is coming?"

Lin Yan nodded, "The tax law is only for paying taxes, and has nothing to do with anything else. Other laws will come out one after another in the future, so you'll get used to it."

Jin Zai nodded and praised: "The law is good. As long as you abide by the law, you will be protected. If you break the law, you will be punished. There are also standards for judging." He himself is a beneficiary of the Basic Law of Sun City, and he feels deeply.
