1512.Vicissitudes of Recreation Room (2/5)
Abdul-Jabbar's father left him not only a fishing ground, but also a bar in Toronto where his dream of DJing existed. And the reason why he wants to sell the star fishery is not only that he doesn't want to manage the fishery, but also because he needs money to pay the will tax.
In this way, Qin Shiou understood.
There is no inheritance tax in the traditional sense in Canada, but it is not exempt from paying taxes when receiving the inheritance of the fathers, and the tax to be paid here is the will tax. Qin Shiou is more familiar with this tax, and when he came to say goodbye to the island, he carried this tax on his back.
Now, Jabbar is in the same situation as him, and he is also saddled with this pot.
What is Probate Tax? That is to say, if the heirs of the property named in the will receive the inheritance according to the will, the national court first needs to verify all the property in the will, especially the immovable property, such as RVs, fishery, ranches, farms, etc., and this verification is subject to a fee.
Of course, this is not mandatory, and the heir does not need the court to verify the property, but then he cannot inherit the property in the will, because the state considers the property to be illegal, and there may be illegal gangs who use the will to launder money.
Canada, like the United States, considers private property to be sacrosanct, but this private property belongs to the private person, not to the private family. For example, the famous American star Kobe Bryant once sued his parents for selling his trophies and medals without permission, and then the court ruled in favor of him because the property belonged to Kobe.
Before it was certified by the court, this fishery was not Jabbar's, but Jabbar's father's. Now his father is dead. If he wants to certify fisheries and bars, he will have to pay the state.
Jabbar's father suffered from severe cerebral thrombosis. About eight years ago, I couldn't manage the fishing grounds, just to treat diseases. The family moved to Toronto, when the Canadian fishing industry was still at its peak and the family had a lot of money, so his father invested in a large bar in addition to curing his illness.
As a result, a lot of money was spent on treatment, and the fishing environment began to decline again, and Jabbar tossed and turned for the dream of being a celebrity DJ, and their family didn't have much money after his father's death. After a decent funeral, he didn't even have the money to pay the tax on the will.
In Canada, there is another way to pay the will tax in this case, that is, to take out a loan first and then repay the money, and the bank is happy to lend to these rich second generations.
But Abdul-Jabbar felt that there was no need for this, he just wanted to sell the fishery as soon as possible, so he didn't have to go through the bank, otherwise it would take time to go back and forth to repay the loan.
After figuring out the situation. Qin Shiou was relieved, Auerbach came from behind, he made an initial contract on the plane, and Qin Shiou paid Abdul-Jabbar one million Canadian dollars first. Let him pay the tax levied by the will, and then complete the transaction regarding the fishery.
Abdul-Jabbar's current situation is much worse than that of Qin Shiou in the past, and the tax rate standard in Newfoundland is that the inheritance is more than 25,000 yuan. 14,000 yuan per 1 million yuan, which is the lowest among all provinces. Nova Scotia also levies taxes of more than $25,000. But 15,000 yuan for every million dollars!
The star fishery is valued at $21.5 million in the Royal Bank of Canada's appraisal. Abdul-Jabbar demanded more than 320,000 dollars in taxes from Canada, and there was a big bar in the city of Toronto, which combined to pay more than $500,000 in taxes.
In the future, Qin Shiou only needs to transfer the money, and Auerbach will be responsible for the contract, and this fishing ground can be temporarily frozen and not used, so naturally there is no need to manage.
Jabbar went to handle the payment of the will tax, and Qin Shiou took Auerbach and Shaq and others who came with him to the new fishing ground.
After entering, it was mainly Shak and other fishermen who were discussing, this fishing ground is much smaller than the Daqin fishing ground, the coastline is only a little more than two kilometers, and it is a quick walk along the beach.
However, what satisfied Qin Shiou was that the beach of this fishing ground was similar to the golden sand beach of Daqin Fishing Ground, with very fine sand and patches of mangroves growing on the shore.
Seeing these trees, Shaq exclaimed: "This fisherman is an expert, and the fishery should plant this kind of tree, which can protect the sand and soil, and the fallen leaves can also be converted into bait for plankton." ”
For this small fishing ground, the fishermen's opinion is that only the area is a little smaller, and the others are really good. However, a small area also has the advantage of a small area, so that it can be cultivated in the way of purse seine nets, which can minimize the loss in the breeding process.
Qin Shiou doesn't care about the loss, he has the consciousness of the sea god, and the surrounding fishing grounds are not lost.
The next morning, he took Auerbach to the fishing ground and took him into the recreation room, which he said was full of the taste of the seventies, and that it was the young age of Daddy O, and I believe that Daddy must be very interested.
Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, seeing the decoration style and deployment pattern inside, Auerbach, who had always been calm, showed a shocked look on his face, which Qin Shiou had never seen before.
"God!" Auerbach exclaimed.
Qin Shiou only took a general look last time, mainly because Jabbar began to talk melancholy as soon as he came in, he just had to comfort this guy, so that he could take a good look at this entertainment room.
At the door of the recreation room was an old-fashioned billiard table, the tablecloth had rotten, and more than a dozen billiards were scattered in the corner.
The walls are the richest in decoration, with tires, replaced rudders, and some faded posters.
、
The most prominent of the posters are Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones, as well as a large handsome photo of Al Pacino. At that time, the godfather was still young, sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, with an unruly appearance, how did Qin Shiou think he had the style of Fa Ge in "God of Gamblers".
Opening the drawer, there were a lot of strange things inside, he found a photo album, and when he opened it, he saw some people dressed as fishermen, who were supposed to be Jabbar's fathers. The men were dressed in denim suits, including jeans that are almost unseen in flared bottoms, and in the back there are some photos of women in flatform shoes.
There was no alcohol in the little bar anymore, but there was a big tape recorder and a crate of tapes under the bar, and Auerbach opened it, looked at it, and smiled, "Hey, it's all good." ”
Qin Shiou has no understanding of the Canadian music scene in the 70s, so he can't see any good goods here.
In fact, he didn't know anything about the seventies in Canada, so he didn't think this entertainment room was interesting, but Auerbach was very interested, and Qin Shiou asked him to go with him, and he waved his hand directly, saying that he wanted to stay here for a while.
The old man not only stayed inside for a while, but then he also drove Qin Shiou to Xiaoye City to buy cleaning tools, he wanted to clean the house. (To be continued......)
