Chapter 136: 18 Municipal Taxes Cut in Half
Sparks is a city located in western Nevada, about 32 kilometers away from Las Vegas, and on the northeastern edge of the Las Vegas Valley.
“That’s right, Chief Tax Officer, I’ve already checked it out. It was those guys who robbed Bulgari’s goods half a month ago!”
“Then what they robbed was the goods. Is it out?”
“It’s out, according to my informant, they got 1.1 million US dollars”
"Okay, let Pope and the others know, and we'll go get him!"
Richards, the tax chief of the 2nd inspection team of the Sparks City West Internal Revenue Service Branch, led the 8 inspectors of his team, Heading towards a black community about 5 kilometers away from them.
Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and everyone was in a very happy mood.
Because this jewelry case was a case that their team had been diligently investigating for nearly a month.
And now that the amount has reached 1.1 million, they can collect more than 400,000 US dollars according to the tax rate. Such a huge amount of tax is enough to make their team feel proud during this assessment period!
While joking, the group of people soon arrived at the gate of the community.
But when they arrived here, they found that more than a dozen police cars had arrived at the door without knowing when.
"Fake, how could they be caught by the police!"
Before they could react, an inspector's angry voice made Richards and others couldn't help but look towards the community. Looking at the door.
At the gate, six black people were pressed out by the police.
And these 6 black men are none other than the targets they are planning to come to this time!
"Fake Squid!"
Richards punched the steering wheel with a ferocious look on his face.
Because of the Black Tax Act, the IRS has the right to target any criminals for tax fraud.
But if the criminal falls into the hands of the police, they will no longer have the right to collect taxes.
In other words, the case they have worked hard on for so long has come to nothing!
That’s more than 400,000 yuan in tax!
The inspectors of the 2nd Inspection Team of the Sparks City West Branch were all feeling sad at this time.
"Wait... No, what is going on?"
While Richards and others were still upset, an inspector named Pope seemed to have discovered something , made a surprised sound.
In a state of annoyance, Richards quickly put aside his thoughts and returned his attention to the door of the community.
After the six people just now, the police squeezed out more than ten or twenty people from inside.
And among these people, because many of them are criminals who have paid taxes to the IRS, they recognize many of them.
"Tax Commissioner, something is wrong. People like Pat and Anike are just petty thieves. There are also street girls like Michelle. Why did the police suddenly arrest them? Did they arrest him too?”
The inspector named Pope discovered something was wrong.
Sparks is not a city with strict laws, and the police in this city have never been very effective.
Like a jewelry case involving millions of dollars, the police here tracked down and solved it, which is normal.
But now it’s okay for the police to take control of petty theft. Why do the police take control of a profession like street work that is almost considered not illegal by default?
When did the police become so idle?
After hearing this, Richards also noticed something was wrong.
Immediately, he opened the car door and walked out, came to a police officer whom he had met several times, and asked: "Hello Martin."
"Chief Richards, what a coincidence? "
"Yes, Martin, what's going on? Why did you arrest so many people?"
"Damn it, forget it. The city hall sent a notice to our bureau this morning. Our jurisdiction is required to crack down hard from today on, and any illegal crimes must be cleaned up. Each police chief has issued KPIs, and if he fails to meet them, he will be punished.”
“The city hall issued a crackdown notice! ?”
Richards was stunned. He had been working in this city for seven or eight years, and he had never seen the city hall issue any notice to crack down on crime?
Furthermore, the city’s police force has always been insufficient. If this were done, wouldn’t the police department need to deal with other cases?
What the hell is City Hall doing?
"Tax Commissioner, if the city hall really wants to crack down on crime like this, then our tax revenue will be doomed!"
Pop's reminder made Richards suddenly reply. Come to your senses.
yes.
If they want to complete the KPI of the Black Tax Act, they need to collect a large number of criminals.
If the police really want to crack down like this, not only will they lose the taxpayers they have secured before, but what kind of taxes will they receive next?
“Go back quickly!”
Pop immediately returned to the car. He had to rush back to the bureau as soon as possible to report the matter to the director and see what should be done. good!
In addition to Sparks City, at the same time, the city halls of the remaining 17 cities in Nevada also notified their respective law enforcement agencies and requested them to immediately carry out severe operations in their cities.
For a time, inspectors in major cities were filled with complaints and panic.
Because from the beginning of this severe crackdown, it means that a large number of criminals will be arrested, and the black tax revenue of their IRS will be extremely heavy!
Just when the tax bureaus in major cities felt overwhelmed, a piece of gossip spread, causing the city branches to explode.
The rumor is that the Lake Las Vegas branch offended the governor for some reason, so the state government launched this crackdown to teach the IRS a lesson!
"Damn it, they in the Lake District have offended the IRS, what does it have to do with us?"
"What the Lake District Bureau did is unethical. They offended the state government, so we can't let them follow suit." Blame it?"
"Oh Shete, it turns out that the Lake District Bureau is responsible for this. So how do we calculate the loss of so much tax revenue? The Lake District must compensate us for the loss?"
The inspectors in 18 cities don’t care whether you are in Lake District or not, whether you are in David or not.
They only know that if the law enforcement agencies within their jurisdiction start to crack down, their black tax revenue will suffer, and the KPI of the black tax bill will be even more difficult to complete.
Therefore, many inspectors have focused their blame and complaints on the Lake District Bureau.
Under pressure, the major branches in the 18 cities could only keep calling the state bureaus to ask them to solve this problem as soon as possible.
As for the state bureau, they also knew that if major cities encountered huge tax problems, they would not be able to explain it to the general bureau, so they could only send representatives to the state government to talk to the governor.
Unexpectedly, he was turned down, which made the state director Jon so angry that he could only pick up the phone and call the Lake District to learn about the situation.
Lake District Bureau, Director’s Office.
"Director Jon, our law enforcement on this matter is completely compliant, and we have complete and unified confessions from those second generations. This is completely Governor Stevenson's use of power to retaliate against us!"
At this time William's face was also very gloomy. He didn't expect the governor to be so insidious, using taxes from 18 cities to put pressure on their Lake District branch.
"He is indeed seeking revenge, but William, this matter cannot be made too big. This is the tax revenue of the 18 cities. If this continues, the tax revenue lost every day will be incalculable. By then, neither you nor I will be able to Report to the General Administration..." After hearing Jon's words on the other end of the phone, William's mood dropped a bit.
Because he has already heard that the state director does not care about the right or wrong of this matter now, but cares more about tax performance and the impact on the General Administration.
"Well, William, let's transfer Nathan out of Nevada. This will give damn Stevenson a step down. If he still doesn't appreciate it... hmph, then I won't be so easy to talk to!"
Although this matter was led by David, Jon is not a fool. He knows very well how much tax revenue contribution David can bring to Nevada. Such an animal can lay golden eggs. Even if you beat him to death, he won't let go.
Therefore, Nissen can only be wronged.
"Director Jon, Neeson is David's most trusted subordinate. If he is transferred, David may be dissatisfied..."
William knows that David and Neeson relationship, somewhat reluctantly.
"Then what else can we do? That damn Stevenson has a dead son and is determined to go against us. You also know how much tax revenue our entire state will lose every day if this continues. Let's consider the overall situation first. William, please talk to Tax Chief David, I hope he can understand."
"This...Okay, then I'll go talk to him.
"Okay. That's it for now. "
After hanging up the call, William dialed David's number and said: "Tax Commissioner David, come to my office. There is something that needs to be discussed! "
A few minutes later, David opened the door and walked in, saying: "Director, what do you want to see me for? ”
"Have you heard about City 18?"
"City 18?"
David was a little confused. He came to the bureau today and was preparing for the second incident in the main block. The case is over, how do you know anything about the 18th city?
"The thing is like this, early this morning, our major cities in Nevada..."
William detailed the crackdown on major cities.
After hearing what he said, even David was stunned on the spot.
If you want to say that one or two cities are implementing this severe crackdown policy, this is considered normal.
But 18 cities are implementing the crackdown policy together, which is a bit abnormal!
That’s right!
David seemed to have thought of something and blurted out: "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the state government, right?"
In his opinion, only the interference from the state government would cause these 18 cities to behave like this.
This should be revenge from the governor.
“You guessed it right, if the 18 cities really want to carry out this severe crackdown, it will be a serious blow to our black tax revenue in the entire state of Nevada. Now the state bureau is now It's very confusing, so..."
Seeing William's hesitation, David felt that something might be wrong.
But he is not worried about what the state bureau can do to him.
The tax results he has achieved for the Lake District and Nevada are here. Unless Director Jon of the state bureau is a fool, he will suppress him in order to appease the anger of the state bureau.
"The state bureau means to transfer Nissen out of Nevada so that that damn guy Stevenson can get a step down. What do you think?"
Dai Wei was silent.
Nissen may not be very good at solving crimes, but his work ability, character, and skills are pretty good.
So to be honest, David didn't really want him to be transferred.
"Don't worry, Nissen has made great contributions to our Lake District Branch. If he is to be transferred, I will definitely help him apply for a good place!"
What William said is actually a hint. , Nissen will not be transferred to a place like guarding a pond, where he will eat and wait to die.
Of course David understood and replied: "I need to talk to Nissen about this matter and ask him what he personally means."
First of all, Nissen, after all, After saving his life, it would be a bit disrespectful for me to hastily decide where someone will go.
Secondly, Marcus’s death was also caused under his leadership, so Nissen cannot bear all the blame.
Therefore, both rationally and emotionally, as a boss, I should let others have the right to choose.
"Okay, then go and talk to him!"
It's not easy for William to talk directly. After all, David is not an ordinary tax chief, and he still has to give face.
After walking out, David returned to his office. Because Nissen, Bucky and others were here just now to report information about the second case on the street to him, so at this time they Still here, ready to continue reporting.
David sat back in his seat, looked at Nissen, and asked: "Nissen, have you ever thought of transferring out of Nevada?"
Nissen, who originally planned to continue reporting the case, was a little stunned when he heard this.
Not to mention Neeson, Bucky Simmons and others at the scene were also stunned.
After a while, Nissen realized what he was doing. He asked in a daze, "Is it the pressure from the governor on the director?"
He is not stupid. He immediately guessed the reason.
“The director told me that just this morning, we were in the 18th city of Nevada...”
David also told everyone about the severe crackdown in 18 cities.
After listening, Nissenbaki and others were stunned for a while, and then they all looked angry one after another.
Bucky said angrily: "This damn Stevenson is such a sinister villain. How could he target our IRS like this just for revenge?"
"Fake , this Stevenson is such a bastard..."
Simmons also cursed angrily.
But unlike the two of them, Nissen didn't have much anger at this time, but more helplessness.
If 18 cities really continue to crack down like this, the tax revenue losses from black taxes will be immeasurable, and each city will definitely hate him to death if he gets the inspector.
After some thought, he said with frustration: "If the superiors really want to transfer me out of Nevada, then I am willing to accept it..."
He knew that he Now he has become a victim to calm down all parties, but there is no way, who made Markas really killed him.
Only by transferring him out of Nevada and giving Stevenson a step down can this matter be settled.
