Chapter 22 Bribery
"For example, if your income exceeds 9,726 US dollars and is less than 37,650 US dollars, you only need to pay a tax rate of 15%. This is not too excessive, right?"
"It's not that we won't let you survive, but in the United States, everything must be done according to our laws!"
After hearing the 15% tax rate, the islanders calculated carefully.
In other words, for every 10,000 they earn, they have to pay a tax of 1,500 US dollars, 20,000 US dollars is 3,000 US dollars, and 30,000 US dollars is 4,500 US dollars...
Overall, the amount of money was indeed not unacceptable, but they still felt a little bit heartbroken and unwilling to offer it like this.
"What if it exceeds 37,650 US dollars?"
Miyano Masashi asked this. As the boss of this gang, his income is naturally not comparable to that of his younger brothers.
Although he has not yet planned to actually pay taxes to the IRS, he still wants to know first what the tax rate will be at his level.
David replied: "If it exceeds US$37,650 and is less than US$91,150, according to our IRS tax rate, it is 25%."
"If it exceeds 91,150 US dollars and is less than 190,150 US dollars, it is 28%."
"If it exceeds 190,150 US dollars and is less than 413,350 US dollars, it is 33%."
"If it exceeds 413,350 US dollars, it is unified as The tax rate is 39.6%..."
Miyano Masaki's face suddenly darkened.
As income increases, tax rates also rise linearly.
In this case, for income at his level, the tax rate is 33%.
This is more than twice the size of his group of men.
And the most important thing is that according to the effective regulations of the Black Tax Act, this is not a one-shot deal.
As long as he is recorded in the IRS system, he will have to pay the amount truthfully every month in the future, unless he burps or has no income.
But no matter what, isn’t this just pure resentment?
Miyano Makoto, who had not thought much about compromise in the first place, became more determined after hearing such a high tax rate.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Just when the atmosphere at the scene became slightly quiet, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the door.
Miyano Masaki's eyes lit up, and he greeted one of his subordinates: "Ogawa, open the door!"
As the subordinate took out the remote control and pressed it, the iron that had been pulled down The gate also began to slowly rise.
Soon, everyone discovered that two people in police uniforms were standing in front of the door, and behind them, there was a police car parked.

“These two black police officers should be the subordinates of Chief Smith that Yutaro Ono mentioned before!”
David secretly looked at the individuals above the two men. information.
On the other side, seeing these two people, Miyano Maju, who was still looking forward to it, seemed a little unhappy and said, "Where are Wade, Officer Balk, and Chief Smith?"
"The Sheriff is busy with official duties, so he asked us to come over and deal with it!"
The two policemen first took a look at the scene, and then frowned slightly when they saw David and Nissen standing in the middle.
The so-called Chief Smith was busy with official duties was of course just an excuse. In fact, he knew how difficult the IRS was and didn’t want to come forward in person.
And of course they don’t want to deal with the IRS. These inspectors have so much power, let alone people. Even if the dog passing by has some tax problems, these people will bite it. The couple, although they were policemen, kept a distance as long as they could.
But there is really nothing we can do today.
At first, Chief Smith himself was unwilling to come forward and delegated the matter to them.
Secondly, they did take a lot of asylum fees from this group of islanders. If they don't come, they won't be willing to pay next time!
I really can’t hide even if I want to!
Wade and Balk passed through the crowd, pulled Miyano aside, and asked: "What's the situation now?"
"These two guys from the IRS He said, we must pay taxes, otherwise all our account properties will be frozen, and we will be deported!"
Miyano Masaki was slightly angry, but there was also a hint of complaint in his tone.
Wade and Balk did not find this exaggeration or surprise. The IRS did have the power to do this, and such an overbearing approach was in line with their usual style.
Wade asked: "Then what do you want us to do?"
Miyano Masaki said without hesitation: "I don't want to be troubled by them, of course. I don’t want to pay taxes either!”
Hearing this, the two of them were speechless.
If you want to avoid getting into trouble with the IRS, the best option is to pay your taxes honestly.
But you don't want to be troubled by others and don't want to pay taxes. Let alone the two young police officers, even if they are replaced by the chief, they may not be able to settle things.
“I know that this matter is not easy to solve for you, but if you help me settle it, I am willing to pay double the monthly asylum fee!”
In order to convince both parties People helped him solve this problem, and Miyano Mao also spent a lot of money.
Of course, his so-called capital is nothing compared to the taxes he needs to pay to the IRS every month.
After hearing the double asylum fee, both Wade and Balk were a little moved.
After pondering for a moment, Wade said: "In this case, I will go talk to the two auditors. Maybe... I can bring them in. However, the auditors of the IRS hold great power and are all arrogant. Ao De, if you really want to get rid of them, the price may be high..."
Miyano Masaki was a little moved and asked: "Are you sure?"
He is not? He never thought of bribing David and Nissen, but David was too overbearing just now, and he was not sure who this inspector was.
If you do this rashly, the other party may think that you are insulting him, and instead charge him with bribery, which is not worth the gain.
But if Wade talks about it, it will be different.
