Chapter 713, Tax Pressure
Black, it is indeed dark.
The 1.3 trillion mentioned in the "Alliance Plan" is actually not a big problem.
According to the empire's standard of taxing one out of ten, the total population of the five star regions is ten trillion, and the tax revenue is one trillion per year, which is not a big problem; the extra three hundred billion is due to the relatively high development of some worlds. , then pay a little more tax.
There are many highly developed planets in the alliance, especially the two core circles of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory that Gu Hang has been operating for a long time: Qima Di and Yunluo Center, which are already quite prosperous.
There are many planets with high levels of development that require higher levels of taxation.
But similarly, there are two forging worlds, Jindi Star and Alamita, which are tax-free; at the same time, there are also two battle groups that have made great achievements: the blood shark and the home planet of the Phoenix, which can also be obtained Two tax-free places.
Both of them had not recruited soldiers to the planet before. For those who have made meritorious deeds this time, of course you can ask for one. The Empire Central Committee has already approved it, and the location is within the alliance.
Although, their model is completely different from ordinary battle groups. The home planet is managed by the alliance, and the income of the planet is also managed by the alliance. In theory, they have ownership of the wealth of their respective home planets, but that makes no sense. What the Alliance gave them was much more than what their home planet produced.
General war groups also need to expand their influence, with their home planet as the core, radiating to the surrounding areas, and allowing dozens or hundreds of planets to provide blood transfusions for their development. Only then can they maintain a better balance. It is impossible to really Relying on a planet that is not even sure whether it is rich or poor to provide all the needs of an entire chapter.
Gu Hang doesn't have to worry, these two battle groups will become sand mixed in from the center.
Phoenix is impossible.
Blood shark is also unlikely. Not to mention that one-third of this war group is new blood provided by the alliance. They do not want to return to the dark outer land in the future. They want to develop well within the country. There is no point in competing with the alliance for influence. The alliance They can be blocked immediately.
Following the alliance has become their only way.
Unfortunately, Dragon King's Spear, Raging Flame, and New Age Torch were all war groups sentenced to the Atonement Expedition. The latter two are two hundred years of expeditionary sentence; the former is very little, only fifteen years. But even the smallest Spear of the Dragon King has been deprived of its ownership of its home planet.
Of course, although the home planet in the Nepeta Star Territory no longer belongs to them in name, Gu Hang still allows them to station and operate there for a long time.
The current income of these three regiments depends entirely on alliance support.
They also relied on the protection of the alliance to avoid being like the battle group of the Atonement Expedition, going out to fight a life-or-death battle without guarantees.
But they have no way to provide the alliance with a tax-free planet quota.
That’s it. The tax exemptions provided by the two forging worlds and the two conscription worlds are not small in absolute terms. After all, if the forging world really wants to calculate the tax amount according to the degree of development, it is not low; Gu Hang in the conscription world will also give two For a more developed planet, the tax exemption quota needs to be utilized.
The total tax amount may be in the hundreds of billions.
It’s not too small to say the least, but when compared with the taxes that the entire alliance has to pay, then... it can only alleviate a little pressure, but the effect is not great.
But in general, according to the "Alliance Plan", tax settlement is biennial, with 300 billion in the first year and 500 billion in the second year, adding up to 800 billion in tax. In fact, it’s not a big problem.
It is even easier to say.
Light Dragon Eagle Star Territory, it is enough to pay taxes and take out the fiscal surplus for the two years. Under the stimulation of war and taxation, the alliance's development power will rise rapidly in the next few years; as the reconstruction work progresses, other star regions will gradually show their potential.
Finally completing the 1.3 trillion tax amount can only be said to be a little challenging, but in fact it is not big at all.
The Star Territory and Space Territory governments have to retain funds for their own development. Although they have handed over the funds, Gu Hang is fully confident that the alliance will develop faster than everyone imagined. After handing over this money, there are enough resources for its own development.
As for the high tax costs in the general empire area, the alliance has no pressure.
The administrative efficiency of the alliance is quite high.
Although, when the scale of a political body reaches 4,000 worlds, more than half of which have been conquered in the past fifteen years, there are still various problems; the population of the political body reaches one trillion. ...Under this size, it is unrealistic to talk about absolute efficiency.
But whether it is efficient or not is a comparative question.
Although, Gu Hang is dissatisfied with the bloat and inefficiency that will inevitably come after the expansion of the alliance government. Even, frankly speaking, although the corruption problem in the alliance has been suppressed, it cannot be eradicated.
However, even though there are many problems, as long as the comparison target is the overall situation of the empire, the alliance will immediately become that efficient and clean system.
The tax cost will not reach the terrifying level of 60% in general;
With unified collection, unified management, and unified transportation, the alliance can reduce losses to 10% or even less than 5%.
No problem at all.
Moreover, the Alliance also has a condition that other imperial forces do not have at all - two forging worlds, which Gu Hang can now fully control. The output value of these two forging worlds can also be used by the alliance and contribute to the alliance's tax revenue.
However, as Xu Fuzhen mentioned, handing over the entire spider web domain to Gu Hang, making Gu Hang the chairman, and raising the tax standard to 2.1 trillion a year... that would be a bit stressful. .
The most important thing is that except for the three star regions of Proud Claw, Nepeta, and Alfonzo that were captured by the Alliance earlier in the Spider Web Space Region, all other star regions are in ruins.
The alliance is so reliable. Once a place is conquered, it will be governed. If there is a Zerg threat, we will carry out pest control and local governance; regional economic reconstruction and political reconstruction, although the status has not been determined before, and the alliance's main energy is still on the war, without direct investment. But, to be honest, as long as governance keeps up and doesn't mess around, many worlds will only recover slower even without the support of external forces.
What kind of governance experience does the alliance have?
I won’t mention those small experiences, techniques, and methods.
The core theory: Don’t mess around, just do things normally.
On this one, it has surpassed countless places.
The reason why there is such an obvious contrast is because many places are messing around.
Just like the other places in the Spider Web Universe just mentioned.
They are a complete burden, but if Gu Hang has to bear an additional 800 billion yuan/year in taxes, the pressure will be great.
