Chapter 316: Taxes are as heavy as a mountain

After Tang Hai taught this lesson to the cooks, he happened to meet Stephen about paying taxes.

Dahlia invested in assets throughout last year.

It cost a total of 60 or 70 million to buy five fishing farms, and several million to buy boats......

But these Tang Hai have already paid taxes!

Including buying a car or something, Tang Hai has already paid taxes!

For example, a pound of pork chops marked 'organic' is about $5 or more, and if you take $5, when the initial tax rate is 8%, you have to pay $5.4, in fact, this is the buyer paying the tax.

As long as the United States raises the tax by 1% to 9%, looking at 5.4 becoming 5.45, it seems insignificant, but in fact, it brings more than 10% more tax to this part of the property than last year.

Tang Hai even bought his own car and paid taxes, 7.5%, which is not high, his driver's license is very simple, that is, he reported that he would drive, and after a while, someone came to him, and after a while, it passed quickly, and it didn't cost anything, he paid out of his own pocket, and the test cost 20 US dollars, but he bought a useless book and spent 30.

It's just that it's more troublesome to drive......

He often assigns himself the position of captain, and this is because he really has a boating license!

I spent money to buy a lot of books, and I memorized a lot of things with super brain power, and all kinds of knowledge are simply massive, such as ship types, uses, daytime sailing traffic rules, night sailing traffic rules, ocean currents, air pressure, communications, weather forecasting, dangerous situation handling, wounded rescue, towing transportation technology, marine environmental protection, sea hunting, ......

That's right, you can hunt seabirds with firearms at sea, as long as you have documents and comply with the rules!

It cost more than $100 to buy a book!

But grandma's, the cost of the exam is only one-third of the cost of buying books!

In the written test, Tang Hai scored 95 points in the mock test, 97 points in the official exam, and 80 points in the passing line.

There are more traffic rules at sea than on land, and it's okay during the day, so you can be proficient in giving way to something. At night, it is necessary to cooperate with the ship's lights or radio communication.

But just remember one thing, yes, a ship with strong power gives way to a ship with weak power, and all ships give way to a warship.

In addition, through the back data of the system, Tang Hai also knew that the endurance of ocean-going vessels must reach 4,500 kilometers. The world's longest supply route is 4,200 kilometers from Hawaii to Long Island, New York, and ocean-going vessels must have more endurance than that. The Little Princess is eligible, and several boats are technically hybrid, allowing them to speed up when necessary.

All of Dahlia's ocean-going vessels have a single-engine power system that is guaranteed to reach a speed of 8 to 10 knots. Three large engines give the fishing boat great power.

Coupled with the various expenses of buying books and applying for exams, Tang Hai spent less than $150 in total, which is very low, and he got a temporary certificate from Washington State, but he can run around the sea at will in the United States, and he has to comply with some international laws and regulations after leaving the United States.

In addition, Tang Hai only spent a small amount of money before and after, and he could drive as many ships as he wanted, as long as it was his own, and he didn't need to slowly go from a trainee sailor to the exam as he did in China. It took more than ten years to get a captain's certificate.

The cost of various documents is not expensive, I pay out of my own pocket, and I also pay taxes when I buy books.

It seems that it is very easy for the United States to take a boat to drive a ship, but in fact, others generally dare not drive it, the coast guard has been flying planes for strolling, and the time, location, and size of the net are very strictly restricted, and those who do not move the new manual will be fined, and the fine is very high, with the type of ship in the Tang Sea, the fine basically starts at a few thousand dollars.

Then there are all kinds of factories, restaurants, and regular supply of seafood to the seafood market, some of which pay taxes. Some of them were not delivered.

In the second half of the year, Washington State plans to raise $1 billion to build dozens of walkways for bears, lions, otters, and a bunch of migratory animals, which is expected to take five years.

The state axe itself doesn't have that spare money. launched a tax avoidance donation, Tang Hai donated 1 million, and finally reasonably avoided 1.5 million taxes, which is the state political axe in the pockets of the federation, and it also belongs to the category of 'reasonable construction'.

In addition to not joining the Coast Guard, Tang Hai did everything he could to avoid taxes. Even the scope of marine environmental protection.

In the end, Stephen and Tang Hai calculated that they still needed to pay more than 7 million taxes.

There are a lot fewer canneries and chains, but they add up to two million.

"In other words, my whole month's cod fishing income is used to pay last year's tax, and there is basically no inventory? And canneries and Chinese restaurant chains are basically unable to raise money now? In fact, the real profit this year is only about 38 million, of which 5 million was thrown into the sea by Jennifer, this part can not pay taxes and avoid taxes, 5 million is used to buy a boat, and additional taxes need to be paid, and then Dahlia has to pay seven or eight million, and the entire fishing ground is less than 20 million? ”

"That's pretty much it, but it should leave more than 20 million."

The deadline for filing taxes in the U.S. is April 15 every year, and as long as the postmark on the envelope sent out does not exceed this day at the latest, the tax filing time for environmental work abroad will be automatically extended by two months to June 15.

The various accounting calculations are from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year.

In other words, there is no hurry?

Tang Hai threw everything to Stephen, including the personal and Dahlia enterprises, and he was too lazy to take care of it.

Let's talk about this tax again, the old and beautiful snow crab in recent years......

That is, the pine leaf crab, the production has dropped too seriously, it is estimated that fishing will be banned, then there is no need for spring fishing, as long as there is a certain amount of manpower to maintain the daily supply of dahlia!

Tang Hai decided to go home for the Spring Festival, and then go to Japan to see the market and so on.

This time, Stephen was going to stay in the United States to deal with all kinds of taxes, big and small, and asked him to assign a competent and trustworthy person to accompany him back to his hometown.

After thinking about it for a day, I finally decided to return to the hometown camp or the last batch, but there was one more Jennifer, and sometimes I really felt powerless without Jennifer......

Dahlia was still in Johnny's hands, and Tang Hai discovered that he had the ability to take charge of himself.

But not long after he had a PK with Lao Mai, Tang Hai was a little worried that Lao Mai would do it again.

Johnny is a bit irritable at times and has to be paired with a chronic sub-brain for him.

Think about it, Tang Hai asked Hadley to be Johnny's temporary deputy......

Hadley still stutters as soon as he speaks English, and he can't get up as fast as he wants! And Johnny has a lot of respect for him, and he will definitely listen to him at critical moments.

Besides, legal expert Stephen is also there, and if something happens, he can come over immediately to help, and the power of these three people together is enough to calm the scene.

Before leaving, Tang Hai specially sailed out to sea, and he had released at least 200 top-quality cod in the previous fishing season......

The volume of Atlantic cod is very large, and the spawning capacity can basically maintain more than 3 million, but the average estimate of Tang Hai is 800,000, which is really TNND!

But 2 million and half females, that's 80 million eggs! One-fifth of the fry hatched, that's 16 million! In addition, the real cod caught by the Tang Sea has to be ten times, twenty times, and thirty times that of the released cod!

A conservative estimate is that 200 to 500 million baby cod babies will be born!

That's a lot of money, but if you think about the fact that China now stocks about 200 billion fish every year, you know that it's not really ......

I don't know how much I can grow up?

A tailed cormorant hunts on the surface of the water......

Wait, there are seagulls among them!

"Seagulls don't have the ability to dive, but they have great eyesight! They work with cormorants, who look for schools of smelt, dive to hunt and drive smelt to the shore, and then they can combine fishing. Jennifer said.

"That's the simple wisdom of animals...... But why do we have such cool cormorants in our fishing grounds? Didn't see it before. ”

Tang Hai's question made Jennifer frown and fell silent.
