Chapter 1218 Reasonable Tax Avoidance
Shen Huan gained a lot from this trip.
Not only does he know that he has countless fans, but he is also rich enough in terms of economic income.
Be.
Shen Huan went out to tour for commercial promotion because of the sponsorship contract, and the six major companies in this regard only need to undertake food, housing and transportation.
But they definitely don't know how to behave.
Shen Huan worked so hard to make their sales have increased so much, of course, they got a bonus.
For example, VISA, which has deep pockets, directly hits Shen Huan's account with 20 million US dollars.
Do you think it's a lot?
If you know that in just over two months, VISA has more than 40 million card users because of Shen Huan, you will feel that VISA is too cheap!
It has more than 40 million new customers, and most of them are young people who have just left school and entered the society.
None of them have been beaten by society, how bold will they be to use credit cards?
VISA has at least 40 years to enjoy the dividends that these users spend on their money.
So it's no wonder that they have announced the renewal of Shen Huan's contract for 10 years during Shen Huan's tour promotion, with an endorsement fee of $10 million per year.
The bosses of VISA are all bankers, and they have calculated that with such an endorsement fee of 10 million, as long as there are 700,000 new users every year, the capital can be guaranteed, and 1 million people will be considered a big profit.
Shen Huan's current popularity changes every year, at least for three or five years, there is no need to worry about whether the fans will buy it, two or three million is easy, and three or five million people are not difficult.
BMW before VISA also announced Shen Huan as their brand spokesperson, renewing the contract for 10 years, with an annual fee of 8 million US dollars, which is the same price as the previous Pepsi and McDonald's.
At the same time, the reward given by BMW is similar to that of the above two companies, both of which are 10 million US dollars.
Burberry is a little less, after all, they can't compare with the above companies in terms of scale, and the hard work of 5 million US dollars is also a lot of sincerity.
Of course, it was Adidas that gave the most.
After such a tour promotion, Adidas has surpassed Nike in many places, and this intangible brand value enhancement is reflected in the stock market in 70 days, and the market value has increased by 50%, exceeding 105 billion US dollars!
With an increase in market value of $35 billion, do you think Adidas doesn't give enough rewards to the biggest hero, Shen Huan?
So 50 million US dollars was quietly transferred to Shen Huan's account through various accounting means.
Overall, Shen Huan received a total of $105 million in hard work.
No matter how much money they gave Shen Huan, there was a premise, that is, they bypassed the United States and directly hit Shen Huan's account in a Swiss bank by an overseas company.
Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world, and it is almost impossible to remove even one of them.
The reason lies in their financial industry.
Switzerland is the only country that has enshrined in its law a clause guaranteeing absolute user confidentiality.
When you go to a Swiss bank to make a deposit, there are no cameras inside or outside the bank, and the person in charge of making deposits and deposits for you will never ask your name.
They don't even care if it's male or female, they just leave their account name and password.
Of course, in the future, they will not recognize whether the person who comes to withdraw money and things is the same person, as long as the account password is correct, then they can get money and things.
Such a brilliant method has been very popular with the rich since the last century, especially those whose wealth is shady, and who need to ensure that their transactions are carried out in secret.
That's why Swiss banks are so big that they can enjoy the best welfare benefits for their citizens.
Now you know, right?
They sent money to Shen Huan from their overseas accounts to Swiss banks, the main purpose was to help Shen Huan and them avoid taxes, and then they chose to keep it secret.
Don't wonder if the company in the United States is following the rules.
With such a high tax rate in the United States, if you pay taxes honestly, I am afraid that all the money you earn will be earned by the tax bureau.
There is no way for individuals to evade the investigation of the tax office, even if you get paid in cash and can not show it in the accounts, they can still check whether you have any income from your various expenses.
Once it is found out, there are various punishments in addition to the supplementary payment, so the ordinary workers and employees are careful not to exceed the slightest.
In contrast to the average person, the richer those are, the more they evade taxes.
Otherwise, how can so many lawyers and accountants in the United States survive?
A casual accountant who works as an accountant for a large company earns hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars a year, which is not much.
Why do people in a big company like PricewaterhouseCoopers squeeze into it every year?
It's not just about making more money!
Why make more money?
It's not to help the company avoid taxes reasonably!
The complexity of reasonable tax avoidance mentioned here is not at all understandable to ordinary people, and you will feel a headache when you look at such a large stack of information and processing methods.
It is said that the tax office alone cannot do this for large companies.
Because the good accountants are being hired by the big companies, the tax office can't compete with them in terms of salary and benefits.
Wait a minute!
Didn't Warren Buffett and a group of the top richest people in the United States shout that they want to raise the tax rate of the rich and demand that they must take more responsibility financially?
Right!
That's what they shouted.
But have you noticed that when Buffett said this, he was scolded by countless rich people in the United States.
The content of the scolding was "Raising the tax rate doesn't make a difference to you super-rich, but we're going to be bad!"
Here's another secret.
Maybe you can't believe that a super-rich person like Warren Buffett pays taxes in a year is basically the same as a rich man with an annual salary of 5 million.
Think about it.
His income basically comes from his company, but the income of these companies is constantly in the second investment, which belongs to spending money, not profits.
Then since it can't be counted as a profit, it can be regarded as an expense, so there is no need to pay taxes.
Warren Buffett also has dividends from stocks and so on.
That's right, too.
But these dividends Buffett never takes out, and people put them in the stock market.
You should get the idea, right?
As long as you don't cash out of the stock market, then the money can't be considered your profit, so it's not taxable.
Therefore, the amount of tax paid by Buffett in a year is very low.
Of course, Warren Buffett is good, and people have donated tens of billions of dollars to go out.
The group of super-rich people who set up their assets into foundations are even more shameless.
