Rebirth of the Super Landlord

As a VIP at Harvard Airport, Su Zhen's car was parked at the airport and maintained by the airport, so Su Zhen didn't notify anyone to pick him up, and Ruolan could just drive back.

"Wow, our famous star is back." When Su Zhen returned to the ranch, he happened to bump into Old John who was passing by on horseback. The other person jokingly dubbed Su Zhen the title of big star. No, various entertainment magazines during this period

Su Zhen appears frequently, and his exposure rate is higher than that of some film and television stars.

"Don't mention it. Those reporters are causing trouble for me. It's better to be quiet at the ranch." Su Zhen said with a smile, "How is the situation at the ranch recently?"

“Very good.” Mentioning the situation of the ranch, Old John looked very excited. “Now the daily slaughter rate of the ranch is very good, and the beef market this year is also very good. In addition, the quality of the beef from our ranch is high, and we give the ranch every month.”

It has brought in millions of dollars in income, and I believe the loan can be paid off this year.”

Su Zhen nodded when he heard this. Although Su Zhen had been able to pay off the loan in full before, he did not do so.

After chatting with Old John for a while and introducing Wang Ruolan to him, Su Zhen took Wang Ruolan back to his residence. As soon as he approached the house, the first people to notice Su Zhen were naturally the two Kyle brothers with the brightest eyes in the sky.

When the eagles rushed down, Ruolan, who was looking at the surroundings curiously, was shocked. After all, these two eagles were too big, and they were different from the familiar little white bears. Although the little white bears were

Now its body is no longer small, but it is still round and harmless, but this big eagle is different, especially the hook-like long beak, which is so intimidating. Su Zhen touched it

Two shiny feathers, it seems that Grace has served these two guys very well.

Just when Su Zhen was playing with two large eagles at the door of his house, a loud barking came from the distance. When Su Zhen heard it, he knew it was Ah Da's voice. He followed the sound and saw a figure riding a horse.

Who is also following Ada and Aer who are running wildly, if not Grace?

"Su, it's you who is back," Grace said with a smile as she turned over and dismounted from her horse. "When I saw these two guys suddenly flying here, I guessed it was you." When the two cubs saw Ah Da, they greeted him affectionately.

, Ada looked at the two guys who used to follow him, but were now about the same age as him. They grew up too fast. According to Uncle Wang, the two guys grew up during that time in Los Angeles.

The food expenses are more than the combined expenses of everyone in the manor. He is simply a big belly king, and his head is naturally growing upwards.

"We haven't seen you for two months, Grace, you are getting more and more beautiful," Su Zhen said with a smile after introducing Ruolan to Grace.

Grace rolled her eyes angrily and helped the two of them move their luggage into the house. The house was very clean. It seemed that Grace had helped clean a lot during Su Zhen's absence.

With Grace's help, Su Zhen cleared a room for Ruolan, and then the three of them started making dinner together.

In the days that followed, Su Zhen returned to a peaceful pastoral life. He went to school every day and flirted with Lux. When he was not at school, he took a bunch of animals to the pasture to add some space to the water source of the pasture. But in

In good times, there are always some unpleasant things, such as paying taxes.

In 1997, because I had just arrived in the United States and there was only investment and no income, I did not need to pay taxes. However, I had to pay taxes on my income for the entire last year. Before April 15th every year in the United States, all U.S. citizens must pay taxes.

Self-reported taxes, if not submitted before this date, will be regarded as tax evasion.

The official name of the IRS is the "U.S. Internal Revenue Service", which is affiliated with the Department of the Treasury and holds the Social Security numbers and bank account numbers of all Americans. Through this, it can find out everyone's exact income, and all local tax bureaus have

The basis for taxation also comes from the Internal Revenue Service.

The IRS believes that every taxpayer should be honest, so every citizen must pay taxes independently, and once they have evidence that you have evaded taxes, they will bite you like a blood-sucking insect.

However, Su Zhen was obviously not very good at filing taxes. In fact, he didn't even know what taxes he had to pay, so he left all the tax filing matters to his legal consultant Erica, but when

After Erica listed the taxes that Su Zhen had to pay and showed them to Su Zhen, Su Zhen was dumbfounded.

Su Zhen had known before that the United States was not a country with light taxes, but when he saw the list listed by Erica, he couldn't help but wonder how it was not light. It was completely heavy, okay?

Taxes in the United States are divided into national taxes, state taxes and tariffs by department. As the name suggests, national taxes and tariffs are for the federal government, and state taxes are for state governments. Tariffs have little to do with Su Zhen. Although the scale of his ranch is not small, it is still

It has not reached the point of exporting. So the main thing he needs to pay is state tax and national tax.

Let’s look at national taxes first. The most important national tax in the United States is of course personal income tax, because last year Su Zhen’s profits from investment companies, income from the release of The Matrix, income from novels, income from ranches, etc. reached more than 300 million US dollars.

The fractions exceed the maximum personal tax collection point of 35%, but in fact only the income from novels needs to be paid according to this proportion, while the income from investment companies, ranches, and movies is self-employment income (investment).

The maximum amount of taxes paid on this part is about 17%, which is far lower than that of some working-class people. This is a kind of protection of the wealthy class by the U.S. government. In fact, the main force paying taxes in the United States is not the billionaires.

, but the middle class who rely on wages and salaries to earn tens to millions.

But even so, the personal tax that Su Zhen had to pay reached an astonishing over 70 million, which made Su Zhen's lips twitch.

In addition to personal income tax, there is also corporate income tax. That is, whether it is an investment company or a ranching company, it has to pay a corporate income tax of about 30% based on the income of the year. What is even more deceiving is that after the corporate income tax is paid, it turns into profits.

Su Zhen has to pay tax again after taking it into his hands. Is this double taxation?

Su Zhen now has a feeling that he made a mistake in coming to the United States. In his previous life, he felt that domestic taxes were quite heavy, but now compared with the old American country, the domestic tax bureau is simply too cute.

Let’s look at state tax. The main components of state tax are property tax and personal tax. The personal tax in Illinois is 3%, and property tax refers to a series of movable and real estate properties such as real estate and ranches. All of these must pay taxes. Su Zhenguang Ranch

Xiang had to pay hundreds of thousands in taxes, and the estate in Los Angeles also had to pay hundreds of thousands.

In addition, there are a lot of miscellaneous taxes under various names. No wonder later generations heard that the United States is a country with tens of thousands of taxes. At that time, Su Zhen was a little confused. It was only after he came to the United States that he realized it firsthand.

"Is there no way to avoid more taxes?" Su Zhen asked. The long series of zeros on the tax return made Su Zhen feel like it was cutting him off.

"I have sorted out all the parts that can be reasonably avoided, including the tax refunds that can be obtained, but there is really no way for the rest." Erica replied, reasonable tax avoidance is the responsibility of every lawyer and accountant.

She is still very familiar with the required courses, but Su Zhen's income last year was really astonishing. No matter how you avoid it, the number is still huge. Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no way at all. At least there are a few that Erica knows about, but

These methods are very risky, and if discovered, it will definitely be worth the loss.

Su Zhen scratched his head, and finally signed the tax return reluctantly. He didn't have the guts to confront the most naughty department in the United States, the Internal Revenue Service.
