Chapter 2663 Avoiding the law

"How did you avoid taxes?"

Aunt Xue asked curiously, and at the same time, she inadvertently opened Zhou Buqi's hand around her waist... and even if she hugged her waist, she kept moving up and down.

She was wearing a dress today. It would be ugly if there were wrinkles on her chest and buttocks.

Zhou Buqi said: "The inheritance tax on art collections has always been a very troublesome problem for the rich. Those who come in and out rarely are fine. Just pay the inheritance tax directly, and it is levied at 50% of the value of the art. . If there are too many, you really can’t afford it.”

Aunt Xue said softly, "Yeah", "So many incompetent and unworthy descendants can't afford to inherit the art, so they donate it directly."

Seeing that she kept struggling, Zhou Buqi stopped moving. He just put his arm gently on her shoulders and said with a smile: "If he really donated it, he wouldn't be the most incompetent. The most incompetent." All future generations will be fake donations.”

"ah?"

Aunt Xue was very surprised.

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not surprising. It's just like the charity funds established by many rich people. The top rich people, such as Bill Gates, Buffett, and Larry Page, if these people engage in charity, they must be Really, if you say you will donate all your wealth, you must really donate it. Without such insight and structure, they would not be able to achieve what they are today. However, for the vast majority of wealthy people, this kind of charity fund, Trust funds are more like a means of tax avoidance.”

This topic is no stranger to me.

Because it was also discussed within the Zhou family.

With Zhou Buqi's current status and wealth, it is natural for him to participate in global charitable donation activities.

This kind of donation is not a small amount.

Basically it will not be less than 30 million US dollars every year.

Zhou Buqi, Shi Jinglin, and Zhen Yu didn't care much, but there were so many women in the family, and there were always some who didn't know enough... Aunt Xue, for example, felt very distressed and thought it was unnecessary.

The Zhou family is also short of money.

The debt owed to the bank exceeds 5 billion US dollars!

With so much foreign debt, why don’t you donate money?

What is this picture?

Borrowing money and donating money just for a good reputation?

Does it make sense?

Fortunately, charity has formed a big industry in the United States, and there are many ways to gain a good reputation and maintain wealth.

There are many large funds that do this kind of thing specifically for the rich.

Because corporate-level donations and individual-level donations can be deducted from income tax after apportionment and settlement. For example, if you want to donate US$100 million, you actually donate US$10 million. Charitable funds will not reveal the truth, but will help cooperate.

Just do the accounting and turn $10 million into $100 million.

For example, a hand warmer costs 500 yuan, a bottle of mineral water costs 20 yuan, a pair of boots costs 80 yuan... Similar techniques are the same at home and abroad.

Here in the United States, similar accounts cannot be checked.

Because they are all on offshore islands.

The laws here in Europe and the United States have nothing to do with it!

For example, the Virgin Islands are famous for Loli Island.

The most famous thing about the Virgin Islands is not "Loli Island". The Loli Island incident was discovered as early as 2009 and was rumored to be very strange. In fact, it was the fact that celebrities and rich people used to enjoy "massage". On the surface, it is a normal service for rich people.

"Massage" services are provided in many high-end clubs, wealthy clubs, or private ranches in the United States. It is a bit marginal, but all parties basically acquiesce.

It's normal for rich people to spend some money on fun.

Zhou Buqi now asks Wang Yanan and Chen Yan to come over and give him massages from time to time. They also said that they are training apprentices and trying to train more exclusive masseurs for him.

The most important thing is that in addition to normal massages and normal adult massage services on Loli Island, there are also more attractive Loli massages.

This is so inconsistent with mainstream understanding.

This kind of offshore island is originally a gray area under the laws of various countries. The adult service industry is only a small area, and the most important thing is actually financial services.

All multinational giants or international rich people will definitely adopt tax avoidance methods, and they cannot do without such offshore islands.

It is said to be tax avoidance, but to be more precise, it is actually "avoidance of the law".

Avoid the legal jurisdiction of various countries, not just financial laws.

Many charitable donation activities are also related to offshore islands that can provide unexpected financial services. Some wealthy Americans have billions of dollars in wealth and donate tens of millions of dollars every year... But look at tax records , it is surprising that it is not as much as the tax amount of a low-level commoner.

Zhou Buqi does some financial management through some offshore islands, which is certain.

Senior sister Zhen Yu is handling everything.

However, he really couldn't do fake donations or fraudulent donations, and he couldn't afford to disgrace that person. This thing is not safe, the Loli Island incident has been found out... and even more seriously, an offshore island has leaked their client list for transferring financial assets, and many European and American politicians are on the list. They all took the blame and resigned. Of course, some countries block the news and refuse to admit it. Anyone who dares to say this will delete their posts, block their accounts or even arrest them. There will be no impact.

Money can be donated in disguise.

Of course, art collections can also be donated on a fake basis.

Zhou Buqi said: "Among other things, the Rockefeller family is also playing this trick. The Rockefeller family we went to is not a direct descendant. When the direct descendant of Rockefeller inherited the inheritance, the American Federation established several The investigation team has also introduced various strict financial control measures, just because they are afraid that his family will use some means to avoid inheritance tax."

Aunt Xue said strangely: "Didn't it mean that the Rockefellers controlled Wall Street and the U.S. Congress?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "If he really had that ability, he would be reduced to this situation today. Look at how many top wealthy families in the United States have watched him rise and collapse. Basically, they can't be rich for more than three generations. It's okay for the small rich, they haven't been targeted, maybe they really have a chance to escape the inheritance tax. There are so many pairs of eyes on such top rich people, no one can escape."

"How can we avoid artwork?"

"Donate it, fake donation!"

"How to do it?"

"Don't the Rockefellers have a MoMA museum? In name, this is a museum that his family donated to the United States and to the whole society. It contains his family's collection of tens of thousands of world-class treasures. But in fact, the director of this museum Yes, it is all managed by the Rockefeller family, and they receive a fixed monthly salary."

"Ah?" Aunt Xue was very surprised, "Do you think this museum is a cash cow?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The descendants will be nothing. Their ability to create wealth is no longer good, so we should try our best to inherit as much of the wealth of our ancestors as possible. Rockefeller's family hired countless people Lawyers and financial consultants have also developed a new way to avoid taxes on artworks. If you look at the media reports, many well-known Chinese in the United States have donated their artworks to American museums after their deaths... I really can’t believe it all. , it depends on whether his descendants have joined the board of directors of that museum, and whether they have received regular money every month. Maybe it is a way to avoid huge inheritance taxes, and it is a fake donation."

Aunt Xue shook her head, "Isn't the museum just relying on ticket sales? How much money is this?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "They are all private museums. If they are not running well, they will go bankrupt if they cannot make ends meet. It is not common for them to sell off their properties to maintain operations. Selling a few works of art will be enough for everyone to share for several years." ."

"this……"

Aunt Xue was stunned, it turned out to be like this!

Zhou Buqi said: "The owner of the Rockefeller store we went to is not yet dead, so his collection has never been merged with the owner's, and has not been put in the MoMA museum."

"Is this a family separation?"

"The family has been separated for a long time. I think Ariana is quite ambitious. It seems that she is not willing to sit back and sit on her ancestors' wealth and wants to further create wealth."

"Cooperating with you?" Aunt Xue understood immediately and pursed her lips, "Is that why she seduced you? She also specially called a yellow flower girl to please you."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Let's take a look. If she is suitable, it's not impossible to do some small business with her."

Aunt Xue said: "You should, if you take advantage of others, you should always return the favor appropriately."

Zhou Buqi leaned over and whispered, "I love you so much, but you don't even return the favor."

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at him, blushed and whispered, "When you go back tonight, I'll toast you!"

"real?"

"Um!"

"If you dare to delay for no reason, I won't forgive you!"

"If you delay any longer, I'll let you handle it."

"good!"
