Chapter 418: May tax bill

Because Qin State provides a lot of convenient services for Yan State. As a result, the combat power of this one hundred thousand army is aligning with the Qin Army. The reason why Yan was able to have a large army of 100,000 while the new South Korean army only had nearly 10,000 was because Yan was able to directly provide a large number of troops. And Qi State, Zhao State can't interfere. The new South Korean army is secretive. So the gap in the number of people is very obvious.

Shangwen was not very concerned about the exercise. What he wants to care about is taxes. This problem must be resolved. If not resolved. Then the government will go bankrupt. It's ridiculous. But it does exist.

The Taxation Committee temporarily functions as a parliament. It's just that it has no effect on taxation rights in other respects. This is already an improvement. Because the State of Qin is establishing a central parliamentary institution. This is the first step Qin has taken.

But this organization is obviously a little messy. Because the meeting has been held for three consecutive days. Not even a single bill was passed. The reason for not passing is simple. The object of taxation.

The civilian class advocates taxation of the rich and exemption from the civilian class. This is a bold proposal. But this proposal is a bit extreme and very vague. How to divide the civilian class. If strictly counted, merchants are also counted in this class. Merchants advocate taxation for everyone. However, there is a difference. That is, in certain policies, special tax reductions and tax exemptions are required.

There is a certain truth to both sides. But none of them is a good proposal for the government to levy taxes. Shangwen didn't say a word during the three-day meeting. Instead, take a notebook to record the bright ideas.

During the questioning session, the two sides spoke extremely intensely. Attacking each other is irresponsible. After the deliberation of the conference delegates. Several people were invited out for the heated debate. Ask the questions after both sides have calmed down. But this also allowed the meeting to set up a small organization to maintain order. Speaker of the meeting.

The meeting was temporarily adjourned. Shang Wen took out his own notebook and made a brief summary. A preliminary taxation plan was proposed for all "citizens" of Qin over the age of 18. From the beginning of this plan, the objects of taxation were delimited, and there were objects. There has been progress in the unit adjustability of taxation. Shang Wen proposed a one percent tax rate.

But this is a preliminary plan after all. Many things are not perfect. But this plan is obviously fairer. The plan is put forward. Everyone started to discuss. Few objections were raised. Therefore, no one opposed it.

There was no objection to the plan, but it was not passed. The parties began to propose amendments to the parties. All parties put forward their opinions. This means that the possibility of this plan is very high.

The articles discussed and revised are very detailed, first of all. "Citizens" over the age of eighteen have an upper limit. Fifty-five years old. Become the number of years that this cap clause ends. At that time, the medical conditions had not been improved on a large scale. Fifty-five years old, it is estimated that many people have died before.

Many people have no meaning to this, and paying taxes in Qin is normal.

One percent tax rate. Although the rich have some objections. But considering that the amount of taxation is already very low. There was no objection.

Both the civilian class and the rich class pay the same tax rate. This is fair on the surface. But the size of this base determines the difference in tax payment. But compared to the cumulative tax rate of one-tenth. This is obviously fair. No one raised objections to this. After all, this is the biggest concession the government has made.

With the tax rate, the next step is to see how to do it. There is one of them. It is the personal tax financial report, which is the declaration of personal annual income. This operation is very difficult. Because, a large part of the civilian class still has unstable income. Consider this factor. Shang Wen proposed that the tax should be levied on the basis of one percent of the previous year's income.

This proposal. There is no objection. very fair. The calculation method started from October last year and now counts as one year. Because it is taxed in May. This plan was initially named the May tax.

The May tax is for "citizens" of Qin nationwide. This is Qin's domestic tax. In foreign taxes. Especially trade taxes. The same was adopted. One percent tax. In other words, from the moment Qin entered, the expropriation began. The method of collection is based on the number of times. That is, once you enter Qin, you will be levied at one percent of the value of the goods. But the cargo has great flexibility. So it still returns to income collection. When entering the State of Qin, you must file a personal financial declaration. This unified calculation. This proposal is more agreeable.

To supervise the fair collection of taxes. The Taxation Committee decided to establish a tax supervision organization. To monitor the government's tax collection. Shang Wen agreed. The name of this organization is the Tax Supervision Committee. Thirty members. In various places, non-governmental organizations should be established accordingly. If the tax collection is unfair, you can directly object to it. Accepted by the Tax Supervision Committee. File an investigation with the government.

On the contrary, the government has to organize a government agency, the Tax Department. Previously, this organization was mentioned in the article, but it has not been implemented. This tax department accepts financial declarations from Qin State taxpayers. tax. Check a series of specific operations. And this plan stipulates that the government has no power to levy taxes except for the tax collection by the Ministry of Taxation. The tax is done through the bank. The bank provides corresponding convenience. Yingyu did not object.

The plan also discussed other proposals. But they have nothing to do with the program. So this plan stopped discussing. by. At this time, it was midnight. After many people stopped the discussion, they realized that it was already so late. There is no way. Many discussions stopped, and the school cafeteria did not prepare food for the delegates. But you must pay by yourself. Represents helplessness.

The passage of the tax bill in May is the first tax collection since Shang Wen came to power. Moreover, this tax case is still agreed by everyone, although there are still many imperfections. But he means a lot. In the past, Qin levied taxes according to the government's own will. But this time, the government's will is seriously weakened. The tax bill is passed through consultation and discussion at all levels according to their own will. This was not available before. It is also impossible.

Shang Wen used this attitude of the government to make huge concessions in exchange for fairness in taxation. Also began to incorporate national taxation into the institutional track. In other words. Shangwen wants to make taxation controllable.

Shangwen has only one purpose, to prevent the government from levying taxes at will. And the hidden dangers of various riots caused by taxation are brought into a controllable range. The tax bill in May is of great significance.
