United states tax collector

Under the attention of the whole country, it can be seen that the Speaker of the House of Representatives on the big screen walked to the stage and announced the official start of the vote on the W-aid bill.

The next second, the big screen hanging high in the House of Representatives began to show the number of votes.

At the beginning, the number of votes in favor and against was basically the same, but as time went on, the gap between the two began to emerge.

In just three minutes, the number of votes in favor of the bill exceeded 200.

When it came to 217 votes, countless people across the country became more nervous, because as long as the number of votes in favor reached 218, it meant that no matter what happened, the bill would definitely pass the House of Representatives.

However, there was no surprise next. The number of votes in favor not only exceeded 218 votes, but stopped only when it reached 296 votes.

"Alas, it was passed after all."

"Not only was it passed, but it was passed with an overwhelming advantage. It seems that there will be no surprises in the Senate."

"100 billion, this is our 100 billion, and it will eventually be cheaper for those W people."

Although they have been mentally prepared for a long time, seeing that this bill was finally passed by the House of Representatives, countless people across the country still couldn't help but sigh.

After all, this is 100 billion in funds, not a small amount of money.

At the Los Angeles IRS, Nissen smiled, collected the money on the table, and taunted Simmons and Bucky: "Hey, it seems that you still underestimated the support of Congress for this bill." Bucky smiled bitterly and replied: "296 votes, this is indeed an overwhelming number of votes. According to our previous bills, as long as the House of Representatives gets such a high number of votes, the Senate will pass it, not to say 100%, but at least 90% of the time." "Just by issuing a bill, we took away the hundreds of billions we worked so hard to get. It's really easy for Congress to take money." After all, the hundreds of billions were obtained by them after countless days and nights of hard work in tracking down the Sackler family, Satoshi Nakamoto, and those cryptocurrency companies. It's like laying eggs, but now they are taken away by others issuing a bill, so Simmons couldn't help but sigh at this moment. However, what everyone didn't notice was that David's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam of light when he heard this, as if he had thought of something. Simmons' words actually woke him up. Yes, they worked hard to track down the Sackler family, Satoshi Nakamoto, and those cryptocurrency companies, and finally got such a large sum of money, but the Congress just introduced a bill to take it away easily.

Then can their IRS introduce another bill similar to the black tax bill?

For example, the rich now like to set up a family fund.

On the surface, this so-called fund is for charity, but in fact, the inheritance tax in the United States is very high, and the highest can reach 50%.

In other words, if you are a rich second generation, one day your father suddenly dies, and you want to inherit the money, you have to pay half of the family property to the IRS first.

Such a high-standard tax amount, let alone those rich second generations, even ordinary people are as painful as cutting flesh.

It is different to set up a family fund. The rich can put their assets into this fund in the form of donations, and according to the tax laws of the United States, charitable funds are basically tax-free, and even if they have to pay taxes, they will pay very little.

Otherwise, do you think that Bill Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg and other famous rich people on Forbes are really so loving that they always promote donating their wealth and not leaving too much for their children? In fact, Bill Gates and his wife have long established the Bill and Melinda Gates Charity, and have donated their wealth to this foundation over the years. Buffett has also established the Thompson Buffett Foundation in Scotland, and has even promoted that he will donate 100% of his wealth before his death. As for other rich people, most of them have their own foundations. According to David's idea, if he can introduce a fund tax bill so that the tax here is no longer exempted, the tax revenue will definitely be an astronomical figure. But then again, fund tax avoidance is actually nothing. As we all know, there are many tax havens in the world, such as the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. In the United States, the registered places of a series of well-known companies such as Apple, Google, Weisoft, and Oracle are basically in some tax havens. Take Apple for example. They paid less than $6 billion in taxes to the IRS last year.

You know, this is a company with a market value of more than $2 trillion.

However, they only paid less than $6 billion in taxes to the IRS in a year. This can definitely be described as pitiful, right?

So why does Apple pay so little tax?

First of all, Apple has complex tax arrangements around the world. By setting up subsidiaries in low-tax countries, it transfers profits to these regions, thereby reducing the amount of taxes paid in high-tax countries (such as the United States).

This strategy was mainly achieved by setting up a subsidiary in Ireland, which has been called "Apple's European headquarters" and has a relatively small number of employees but huge profits.

Apple shifts most of its profits from global sales through this subsidiary, thereby reducing the taxes it pays in the United States.

Secondly, Apple also established a special purpose company in Ireland to transfer profits to tax havens such as the Cayman Islands, further reducing its tax burden.

This strategy takes advantage of the differences in tax systems between different countries and shifts profits to areas with lower tax rates, thus reducing the overall tax burden.

In addition to Apple, many well-known companies such as Guge, Weiruan, and Oracle mentioned before basically adopt this tax avoidance strategy.

And if a bill can be introduced to restrict these off-site tax avoidance, then these companies will no longer be able to enjoy such tax avoidance, and the tax revenue that can be brought will definitely be astronomical in astronomical figures!

Of course, this idea is just a prototype for David.

You know, it took a lot of effort from the IRS to pass the black tax bill in Congress.

The main reason why this bill was passed was that its original intention was to crack down on criminals, and it did not explicitly infringe on the interests of those interest groups and powerful people. It was finally passed with the compromise of all parties.

Now the fund tax bill and the remote tax avoidance bill that David is thinking of are to clearly attack the core interests of major consortiums and interest groups. It is no less than directly cutting their flesh with a knife. Therefore, if you want to pass it, you can basically use four methods. To describe it in one word, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

However, although it is difficult, if any of these two bills can be pushed forward, the rewards will definitely not be comparable to the black tax bill. This may even alleviate the current fiscal deficit in the United States, thus Stimulate economic recovery.

If this is the case, then the reputation he can gain will not be enough to support him to enter the General Administration, it is even possible to support him to aspire for the highest throne.

To put it simply, the risks are high, but the returns are also high.

But David is not yet ready to make up his mind whether he should do it or not. He still needs to observe the reactions of all parties after the passage of the aid bill and the deployment of the General Administration.

…

Three days after the W aid bill was passed by the House of Representatives, the Senate's review of the bill was completed and a vote was held.

As a result, nothing unexpected happened. The Senate successfully passed the bill with a large advantage of 61 votes to 39 votes.

After a bill is passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, the last step is the signature of the president, and then the bill will officially take effect.

The White House was originally the main promoter of this bill. Once they saw that this bill was successfully passed by both houses of Congress, they naturally signed it as quickly as possible and then announced it to the whole country.

At this point, the matter of supporting the W bill has come to an end.

July 29, 3 pm.

David was dealing with things in the office. The ringing of his cell phone made him stop. He picked it up and saw that it was Sean calling. He immediately picked up: "Mr. Sean."

"Director David, the W aid bill has been passed. The people here at Angsa Group are very happy and plan to hold a celebration dinner. They want to invite you to attend."

Sean's voice on the phone made David startled, and then asked: "Where will it be held?"

"Washington."

David fell silent. The General Administration must have known about the deal he had reached with the Angsa Group, and they just turned a blind eye.

But if he is going to attend the celebration banquet held by Angsa Group, it will be different. This may be dissatisfied by some senior officials of the General Administration.

After all, you, David, are from the IRS. Now the Angsa Group is holding a celebration banquet, but you are running over to help. Will you join their camp in the future?

If you join, will you ignore the interests of our IRS in the future and instead seek more benefits for Angsa Group?

"Director David, I think you should go and participate, because I have received word that many big figures from the Angsa Group will come this time, and with the passage of the W aid bill, the Freemasons have already taken action. At this time, it is important to win the continued support of the Angsa Group.”

To be honest, after some thinking, David actually wanted to attend this celebration banquet, not just to celebrate for Onsa Group.

First of all, as Sean said, now with the passage of the W aid bill, the Freemasons are going to take action, and it will be really useful to win the support of the Angsa Group.

Secondly, if many big figures from the Angsa Group will come this time, then this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know them.

When the time comes for the banquet, as long as you use a plug-in to examine them and get some of the group's core secrets, you might have a chance to take control of the group in the future.

"What do you think Chief David?"

"Okay, Mr. Sean, let me think about this for a while and I will give you an answer later."

"Can."

After hanging up the phone, David immediately dialed Donald's number and told the other party his idea of ​​going to the party.

After listening to what he said, Donald replied: "If you go to this banquet, you may indeed cause dissatisfaction with people like Vertonghen and Lahan, but since you said that you will find out about the Angsa Group, it will not affect us in the future. It will be helpful, and it is indeed worth a trip... Well, the tax clearance on the cryptocurrency field has been completed. You will go to the General Administration tomorrow to make a summary of the work, and also talk to us about the follow-up tax direction. "

If David made a special trip to Washington to attend this celebration dinner, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among senior officials such as Vertonghen and Lahan.

But if David had come to Washington specifically to report on his work, and then attended the dinner by the way, the resistance would have been much smaller.

David naturally understood the meaning of Donald's words and immediately replied: "Okay, Deputy Director Donald, tomorrow I will prepare the relevant documents and materials and go to Washington to report to you and the Director."

"OK, see you tomorrow."

After finishing the call with Donald, David called Sean back immediately, and Sean was very happy when he heard that David had promised to come, and even stated that he would introduce many expensive people to him one by one tomorrow night. A big shot in the Satan group.

In this way, the time came to the next morning.

David first came to the bureau to explain some matters after he went to Washington, and then took Nissenbaki-Simons and the other three people to Los Angeles International Airport and boarded the flight to Washington.

After a flight of more than five hours, the plane arrived over Washington and slowly landed at Dulles International Airport.

Because they knew he was coming, the General Administration had arranged the greeting personnel and vehicles early. The group of them were successfully picked up in the car and returned to the General Administration.

Half an hour later, the vehicle the group was waiting for stopped at the entrance of the headquarters.

After getting out of the car and stepping into the gate, whether it was David or Neeson Bucky Simmons, there was a sense of expectation and emotion in their hearts.

The last time they were here was several months ago.

At that time, they had just received the notice of being transferred to the Western Suburbs Bureau, but they did not have a clear idea of ​​whether they could successfully complete the tax clearance work in Hollywood and when they would be able to enter the General Bureau.

And now when they come here again, they have not only achieved the success of Hollywood's tax clearance operations; they have also gathered the honors of a series of successful tax clearance operations in the Sackler family, Swiss banks, and the cryptocurrency field.

It can be said that they are only one step away from entering the General Administration, oh no, maybe only half a step away!
