Chapter 713, Tax Pressure

Chapter 713, Tax Pressure

Black, it is indeed black.

The 1.3 trillion mentioned in the "Alliance Plan" is actually not a big problem.

According to the Empire's standard of one-tenth of taxes, the five star regions have a total population of ten trillion, and the annual tax revenue is one trillion, which is not a big problem; the extra three hundred billion is because some worlds have a higher level of development, so they have to pay more taxes.

There are many planets with high development levels in the alliance, especially the two core circles of the Dragon Eagle Star Region that Gu Hang has been managing for a long time: Qimadi and Yunluo Center, which are already quite prosperous.

There are quite a few planets that are highly developed and have to pay higher levels of taxes.

But similarly, there are also two forging worlds, Jindi and Aramita, which are tax-free; at the same time, there are also two wargroups that have made meritorious contributions: the home planets of the Blood Sharks and the Phoenixes, which can also get two tax-free quotas.

Before this, neither of them had a planet for conscription. After making meritorious contributions this time, of course they can ask for one. The Imperial Center has already approved it, and the location is within the alliance.

Although, their model is completely different from that of ordinary warbands. The home planet is managed by the Alliance, and the planet's income is also managed by the Alliance. In theory, they have ownership of the wealth of their respective home planets, but it is meaningless. What the Alliance gives them is much more than what their home planet produces.

Generally, a war group also needs to expand its influence, with the mother planet as the core, radiating to the surrounding areas, and letting dozens or hundreds of planets provide blood transfusions for their development, so as to maintain a better balance. It is impossible to rely on a planet that is not sure whether it is rich or poor to supply all the needs of an entire war group.

Gu Hang doesn't have to worry that these two regiments will become the sand that the central government adds.

Phoenix is ​​out of the question.

Blood Shark is unlikely. Not to mention that one third of this regiment is new blood provided by the Alliance. They don't want to return to the Dark Outer Realm in the future. If they want to develop well in the territory, it is meaningless to compete with the Alliance for influence. The Alliance can immediately block them.

Following the alliance has become their only way.

Unfortunately, the Dragon King's Spear, Fury Flame, and New World Torch were all sentenced to the Expedition of Atonement. The latter two were sentenced to a 200-year expedition; the former was very short, only 15 years. But even the Dragon King's Spear, which was the least, was deprived of its ownership of the mother planet.

Of course, although the mother planet in the Jingjie star field no longer belongs to them in name, Gu Hang still allows them to be stationed and active there for a long time.

The current income of these three groups depends entirely on the support of the alliance.

It is also thanks to the protection of the Alliance that they can avoid going out to fight a life-and-death battle without any protection, like the regiments in the Atonement Crusade.

But they also have no way to provide the Alliance with quotas for tax-free planets.

That's fine. The two forging worlds and the two conscription worlds can provide a tax-free amount that is not small in absolute terms. After all, if the forging world really calculates the tax amount based on the degree of development, it will not be low; the conscription world Gu Hang will also give two more developed planets, and the tax-free amount needs to be utilized.

The total tax amount is probably about hundreds of billions.

It's not a small amount to speak of, but compared to the taxes that the entire alliance has to pay, it... can only be regarded as relieving a little pressure, but the effect is not great.

But in general, according to the Alliance Plan, tax settlement is made every two years, 300 billion in the first year and 500 billion in the second year, totaling 800 billion in taxes, which is actually not a big problem.

It’s even easier.

Just the Dragon Eagle Star Region, if we take out the tax revenue and the fiscal surplus of the past two years, it will be enough. Under the stimulation of war and tax revenue, the development power of the alliance will rise rapidly in the next few years; as the reconstruction work progresses, other star regions will also gradually show their potential.

Ultimately achieving the $1.3 trillion tax revenue is only slightly challenging, but not that big at all.

The governments at both the star domain and universe domain levels had to retain funds for their own development. Although these funds had been handed over, Gu Hang had enough confidence that the alliance's development speed would exceed everyone's imagination. After handing over the money, there would be enough resources for their own development.

The Alliance has no pressure to deal with the high tax costs in general imperial areas.

The administrative efficiency of the alliance is quite high.

Although, when the scale of a political entity reaches four thousand worlds, more than half of which were conquered in the last fifteen years, there are still various problems; the population size of the political entity reaches trillions... At this scale, it is unrealistic to talk about absolute efficiency.

But whether it is efficient is a question of comparison.

Although Gu Hang was dissatisfied with the inevitable bloat and inefficiency of the alliance government after its expansion, he could not deny that the corruption problem in the alliance had been suppressed but could not be eradicated.

However, even though there are many problems, as long as the target of comparison is the overall situation of the empire, the Alliance immediately becomes an efficient and honest system.

The tax cost will not reach the generally horrific level of 60%;
With unified collection, management and transportation, the alliance can reduce losses to 10% or even below 5%.

completely fine.

Moreover, the alliance has a condition that other imperial forces do not have at all - two forging worlds, which Gu Hang can now be considered to have complete control over. The output value of these two forging worlds can also be used by the alliance and contribute to the alliance's tax revenue.

However, what Xu Fuzhen mentioned, handing over the entire Spider Web Universe to Gu Hang, letting Gu Hang be the chairman, and raising the tax standard to 2.1 trillion per year...that's a bit stressful.

The most important thing is that except for the three star fields of Proud Claw, Nepeta and Alfonzo that were taken down by the Alliance earlier, all other star fields in the Spider Web Universe are rotten.

The Alliance is so reliable. They govern a place after conquering it. If there is a Zerg threat, they set up a Zerg Control Office to govern it on the spot. Although they did not directly invest in regional economic and political reconstruction because they had not yet established a name and the Alliance's main focus was still on the war, as long as the governance was in place and not messing around, many worlds would only recover more slowly even without the support of external forces.

What governance experience does the alliance have?
I won’t mention those small experiences, techniques, and methods.

The most core theory: Don’t mess around, just do things normally.

Just this one thing has surpassed countless places.

The reason why there is such a clear contrast is that many places are messing around.

For example, other places in the Spider Web Universe just mentioned.

They are a complete burden, but Gu Hang has to bear an additional 8000 billion yuan in taxes per year, which is very stressful.
