On the table between Tang Dou and the two customs officials was the head of the sheep that Tang Dou had won by auction, as well as the firewood kiln porcelain that Bao Daqing and Qian Cihang presented to the Tang Dou Museum and the sheep imitation Nine Dragon hollow bowl made by Yang Yiyan, at this time the box containing the three cultural relics had been opened, and the two customs officials looked at the three precious cultural relics in the box, but the expression on their faces was reminiscent of the salivating greed of the wolf when he saw the sheep. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing the appearance of the two people, Tang Dou couldn't help frowning slightly and coughed lightly.

One of the two customs officials is in his forties, and he is the director of XX Customs X Port, surnamed Zhang. The other was younger, only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, whose name was unknown.

At this time, when the two of them heard Tang Dou's cough, they immediately returned to normal and became serious again.

Commissioner Zhang looked at Tang Dou, reached out and took an internal book about the customs system from the table and pushed it in front of Tang Dou: "Mr. Tang, I understand your feelings very well, but the state has a policy, and the General Administration of Customs stipulates that, and we can't help it, you can take a look at this, it is written very clearly......

Tang Dou glanced at the book, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Commissioner Zhang and said, "Since it is a national regulation, then I won't read it, Commissioner Zhang, then please calculate how much tariff I should pay." ”

A smile immediately appeared on Director Zhang's face, and he smiled at Tang Dou and said: "Mr. Tang understands it, in fact, seriously, Mr. Tang, when I watched the news yesterday, I knew that you took this sheep's head, and we were very excited. However, Mr. Tang, the state has strict regulations on cultural relics entering the customs, and we really want to help you......"

Tang Dou frowned slightly impatiently, he didn't have time to listen to these customs officials talking here.

Commissioner Zhang smiled at Tang Dou and said, "Mr. Tang, according to the invoice issued by the auction house you provided, this sheep's head is worth 60 million yuan, your porcelain is worth 1.60 billion, and your bowl is 100 million yuan, and these three pieces together are a total of 1.22 billion yuan. According to the regulations, you will need to pay customs duties of $366 million. ”

"What?" Tang Dou was taken aback by the number reported by Commissioner Zhang.

To tell the truth, more than 360 million yuan would not shock Tang Dou like this, but the total value of these three cultural relics is 1.22 billion yuan, but 366 million yuan of customs duties have to be paid, and the proportion of tax paid has reached 30 percent.

Commissioner Zhang seemed to have expected Tang Dou to show such a shocked expression, he shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Tang Dou and said with a sad face: "Mr. Tang, this is the regulation on the import of cultural relics, and the import of cultural relics must pay 30% tariff, you can take a closer look." ”

As he spoke, Commissioner Zhang pushed the book to Tang Dou again.

Tang Dou has a black line, he doesn't have to read the book, he knows that since Commissioner Zhang has repeatedly asked him to read it, it must be wrong, but isn't it a bit outrageous to pay 30% tariff?

Tang Dou's face is as black as the bottom of the pot, although it is easy for him to make money, but this money is not happy, he is to let the cultural relics lost overseas return, it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, the country should support it, but take pictures of cultural relics from overseas and bring them back, and stretch out their necks to let the customs cut so hard, this matter is too painful for anyone to be put on it.

No wonder many Chinese choose to place the cultural relics on Hong Kong Island or Omen when they photograph them overseas, such high tariffs are not only painful to hand, but also uncomfortable.

Take Tang Dou's current three cultural relics as an example, he needs to pay 366 million yuan in customs duties, and with this money, Tang Dou can buy more than n sets of top mansions overseas to house these three cultural relics.

After a long time, Tang Dou exhaled deeply and said to Commissioner Zhang in front of him: "Commissioner Zhang, since the country has this regulation, I should naturally abide by it." However, among these three items, this firewood kiln porcelain and this Nine Dragons hollow bowl were given to me by others, especially this Nine Dragons Hollow Bowl, which is just a newly made item, although its value is higher, but it can only be regarded as a modern handicraft, not a cultural relic. Can you help you look at the relevant regulations, can these two items be exempted from customs duties? ”

Tang Dou is rich, but he has to spend it to understand, he even has to take a taxi with the taxi driver for a dollar of change, not to mention that this is a matter of hundreds of millions, he is naturally more careful.

Hearing Tang Dou's inquiry, Commissioner Zhang smiled at Tang Dou, reached out and picked up the customs tax regulations that had been pushed in front of Tang Dou, opened and checked the catalog, dipped his fingers in saliva and turned to one of the pages, opened it directly, pushed the book in front of Tang Dou again, and said with a sympathetic face: "I'm sorry Mr. Tang, our customs has clear regulations that regarding the cultural relics donated overseas, the recipient must also pay taxes according to the market value, if the donated cultural relics are not accurately priced, We will hire the National Department of Antiquities to conduct an appraisal of the item and collect taxes based on the assessed price. Of course, you have an invoice issued by the auction house for these three artifacts, so you don't need to conduct an appraisal. As for your statement that this bowl is a modern handicraft, this can be applied to the regulations on modern handicrafts, but we still have to ask the cultural relics department to investigate and verify before we can determine whether your bowl is a modern handicraft. However, the import tariff of modern handicrafts and the import tariff of cultural relics are not very different, Mr. Tang should not save much money, and we hire the cultural relics department to conduct the appraisal, it will take at least 25 working days to get the appraisal results, and this appraisal fee is also paid by you according to the regulations......"

Your sister.

Tang Dou almost scolded.

Gift of cultural relics is also subject to tax according to this regulation? Little Japan is about to give itself more than one million cultural relics, so even if he cuts himself up and sells human organs, won't he be able to pay this tax from the state?

"Mr. Tang? Mr. Tang? The Commissioner Zhang saw Tang Dou sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but greet Tang Dou with a snicker in his heart.

Tang Dou exhaled three times in a row, staring at Commissioner Zhang, his gaze seemed to be about to kill, which startled Commissioner Zhang.

However, when Commissioner Zhang thought that Tang Dou would have to pay 366 million yuan in tariffs according to the regulations, he instantly understood why Tang Dou showed such an expression.

If it were him, he would probably show an expression like Tang Dou.

At this time, the young customs officer who had been sitting next to Commissioner Zhang and had not spoken suddenly said: "Mr. Tang, in fact, everything is flexible, you are a smart person, I think you should know what to do." ”

Tang Dou raised his eyebrows, listening to the strings to know the elegant meaning, how could he not hear the meaning of the young customs officer's words, it turned out that Commissioner Zhang took this goods with him to do this job.

At this time, Commissioner Zhang suddenly stood up and smiled at Tang Dou: "Mr. Tang, you think about it carefully first, I still have some work to deal with, so I will be temporarily absent." Xiaoding, you can help me greet Mr. Tang, especially these three cultural relics must be kept by Mr. Tang. ”

That Xiao Ding stood up and bowed to Commissioner Zhang respectfully: "Commissioner please rest assured, I will definitely help Mr. Tang keep these three cultural relics." ”

Seeing that Commissioner Zhang stretched out his hand to him, Tang Dou's eyes narrowed, neither got up nor shook hands with Commissioner Zhang, but reached out and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked up at Commissioner Zhang and said unceremoniously: "You wait for a while before leaving, I'll make a call."
