Chapter 196: Black clouds crush the city and money wants to 'fly'
The next day, the mobile phone alarm woke Shen Yiran from his sleep on time, rubbed his tired and hazy eyes, got up and came to the window, opened the curtain, and looked into the distance, the sky was gray, and the dark clouds were all piled up, as if they were about to fall.
"Is it going to rain?"
Looking at the gloomy weather outside the house, Shen Yiran muttered something in his mouth, then picked up his mobile phone and turned around and walked towards the door.
On the first day after the concert, life instantly changed from busy to idle, but for Shen Yiran, this does not mean that he can rest in bed all the time, because in addition to attending the press conference in the afternoon, he still has a very important thing to do, which is to settle ticket revenue with the theater.
In layman's terms, it's a penny!
Shen Yiran's original contract with Xuanzhou Zhongxi Grand Theater included a ticket agent, of which each ticket would be charged at 15% of the face value, plus according to the tax law, Shangjing Youguang Yiran Culture Media Co., Ltd. needs to pay 3% business tax, and he himself needs to declare personal income tax, of course, including 15% of the air swing band.
In other words, Shen Yiran's actual income for an 80 yuan ticket is only 28 yuan, and if all the 2,416 seats at the Zhongxi Grand Theater are filled for each performance, he will have about 330,000 yuan for five concerts.
The price of Shen Yiran's concert tickets is not high, but even so, he still earned more than 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a year's income of a middle-class family, but for him, it only took three days to remove rehearsals, and this kind of income may be an important reason why so many people would rather squeeze their heads to enter the entertainment industry.
After contacting the person in charge of ticketing through Zha Yingyun, the manager of the market development department, Shen Yiran came to the Zhongxi Grand Theater with the contract and ID card, and to his surprise, the staff of the Xuanzhou Local Taxation Bureau had been waiting here for a long time.
Looking at the two administrative clerks holding documents and tax bills in the ticket manager's office, Shen Yiran had to admire the efficiency of the authorities in dealing with these things, which is indeed a bit amazing, in his memory, there were not a few people who evaded taxes in the entertainment industry in the past, and there were even many well-known artists who had been betrayed because of this.
Of course, due to the increasing improvement of the country's system in all aspects, coupled with the fact that artists and producers want to reduce or circumvent the 'excess progressive tax rate', the tax payment in the entertainment industry is generally divided into two situations, one is decentralized payment, where the partner and the artist reach an agreement to pay the labor remuneration in multiple times, and the other is withholding at source, which is the so-called production company pays remuneration according to the after-tax amount.
The above two methods are some reasonable tax avoidance methods, but what is more disgusting is that there are still many celebrities who will sign yin and yang contracts with the producer, or go to the southern border to register shell companies.
As for why southern Xinjiang was chosen, the reason is clear to everyone, because as early as 211, the state has issued a series of tax exemption policies for enterprises there, and some good people have made statistics, since 215 of the Han Yuan calendar, there have been more than 200 film and television culture or media companies in Khorgos, a county-level city of less than 100,000 people in southern Xinjiang.
No one will be disgusted with a lot of money, Shen Yiran is no exception, but in his opinion, taxation is the most important form of fiscal revenue in a country, for ordinary income citizens, due to the rapid development of the economy, he feels that the tax threshold should be raised again;
In layman's terms, let the rich reduce the available tax avoidance methods as much as possible!
Such a view is completely different from the current mainstream public opinion advocating 'raising the tax rate for the rich', because he was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and he knows very well that there are so many ways for the rich to avoid taxes, so many means, and the inextricable relationship with government personnel, it is completely ineffective to rely on blindly raising the tax rate.
Especially in a social environment where the tax system of the Han Kingdom has yet to be improved, in addition to strengthening administrative control, it may be worth learning from Western countries to collect capital gains tax, inheritance tax and capital transfer tax.
Shen Yiran has never told anyone about these ideas on taxation, he knows that with his current status, what he said is equivalent to saying it in vain, of course, maybe one day in a certain year and month, if he can become a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference like his grandfather Su Mingen, he believes that he will definitely come up with a proposal related to it at that time.
Even in the eyes of economists, his views may be naïve, but one thing he knows very well is that if he wants to improve the atmosphere of the entire entertainment industry, in addition to his own strength, the country is the only reliance behind him.
As for whether the country is willing to be his backer, Shen Yiran has never considered such a question, and he knows very well that if his 'sprout' plan can bring better development and greater benefits to the country, he believes that the country will naturally give him more help at that time.
"Brother Yiran, take a look, according to our ticketing system, a total of 11,123 tickets were sold for the five concerts, with an attendance rate of 92 percent and a total ticket revenue of 889,840 yuan. ”
Just as Shen Yiran was staring at the two staff members of the Local Taxation Bureau in reverie, Zha Yingyun's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
After coming back to his senses and glancing at the results of the ticketing system on the computer, Shen Yiran nodded and motioned for him to continue the next operation.
"According to the provisions of the original contract, our theater will charge 15% of the ticket agency fee, and at the same time, plus the application approval and venue security, a total of 183,476 yuan, and the remaining 706,364 yuan We have arranged for the finance to be transferred to your company's corporate account today. ”
As soon as Zha Yingyun's voice fell, the staff of the Local Taxation Bureau walked over with a smile while holding the folder, and without waiting for the two of them to speak, Shen Yiran directly reported his income.
After the two administrative officers calculated again, Shen Yiran finally got the result that he needed to pay a total of 247,227.4 yuan, of which the personal income tax was as high as 226,036.48 yuan.
Although Shen Yiran knew very well the meaning of taxes, he couldn't help but tremble slightly when he thought that about one-third of his income was gone, money was indeed a terrible thing, even if he had seen it very lightly, he would still be emotionally disturbed by his gains and losses.
After counting the declared income, the staff of the local taxation bureau left the ticket manager's office, looking at the backs of the two, Shen Yiran said that there was a mixed taste in his heart, but fortunately, according to the country's regulations, this money can be paid before the fifteenth of next month, and in this month's time, if this money has been kept in the wealth treasure, there should be an extra income of one or two hundred yuan......
Of course, the above kind of poor people's thinking is just thinking, you know, in him, there is a black hole produced by Tencent Technology waiting for him to feed!21010
