197. Ten million
Winnie usually only eats a little food, but at noon she eats the fish she caught, she played with her life, ate a piece of mackerel meat and two pieces of tiger grouper fish, and touched her belly with one hand and pointed her finger to her throat with the other.
This is a common gesture for Canadians to indicate that they are full, meaning that the food is up to their throat. But when Qin Shiou saw Winnie do this, a certain part was ready to move, he was in his heart, if Winnie told him in the future, how cool it would be if a certain part reached his throat.
Thinking like this, Qin Shiou suddenly became excited, and hurriedly snorted and ate a sea plug to hide his strangeness.
Winnie didn't know what was going on, so she told him to eat slowly. Qin Shiou casually found a reason, saying that he had eaten with Ivoson too many times and had developed the habit of grabbing food.
Winnie believed it, because it seemed to her that anyone who had dinner with Iverson a few times would develop this habit, because if they were slow, they would only lick the bottom of the plate.
After eating a full meal, Winnie put away the cooking utensils in the kitchen, came back and sat on the sofa looking at the flat little belly in a daze, thought for a while and suddenly said: "God, I can confirm that this meal has propped up my lower abdomen, what can I do?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled and said I'll rub it for you, and stretched out his paws as he spoke, Winnie smiled and blocked, Qin Shiou whistled, and Xiong Da, Huzi and Leopard, who were reminiscing about the food, pounced together.
Winnie giggled, she didn't care about the left and right, Qin Shiou finally seized the opportunity to get a little cheap.
The phone rang, and Qin Shiou saw that it was Anthony White, general manager of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu's Ottawa branch. Just hurry.
White always spoke so unhurriedly, and said to Qin Shiou: "Mr. Qin." Hello, I have sent the detailed documents of Q2 quarterly tax to your mailbox. If you have time to check it out, if you don't understand something, feel free to call. If that's okay, just remember the bill number and domestic insurance serial number and go to your local CRA to go through the process. ”
CRA stands for Canada Revenue Agency (Canada-Revenue-Agency), and they are the tax unit that is directly responsible to small and medium-sized business owners like Qin Shiou.
Yes, although Qin Shiou claims to have a fishing ground worth hundreds of millions of yuan, in fact, it is a small and medium-sized enterprise in Canada, and this kind of judgment is not based on enterprise value as the only criterion. There are also jobs offered.
Qin Shiou looked at it on the Internet, and was ashamed to say that his income in the second quarter was actually an auction, but paying taxes is not only about paying auction taxes on artworks, but also on buying vegetables, rice and noodles in Canada, not to mention buying cars, these taxes are all combined.
Despite his wealth, Qin Shiou was still frightened before opening the tax bill. I am afraid that half of my family property will fly away directly.
This is not an exaggeration, first of all, the art auction tax is very high, accounting for a terrifying 22%. The money Qin Shiou got at the auction was about 60 million, which is 13 million, Canadian dollars!
How much is this converted into RMB? Sixty-five million! Sixty-five million!
Other than that. The fishery still owes money to the government, and this time it must be paid along with the taxes. Hamre is already very face-saving and does not chase his ass for money.
As a result, open the tax bill to see. The end is a tax payment of C$10,855,542, which is a little more than 10 million and less than 11 million.
Qin Shiou subconsciously felt that it was wrong, the art auction tax alone should be 13 million, not to mention that he was buying a car and a yacht, and the tax should be higher.
There was a dense string of numbers on the bill, Qin Shiou was dizzy when he looked at it, Winnie asked him what was going on, and he explained.
"You're going to pay 11 million in taxes?" Winnie gasped, even though she was used to seeing rich people, she was shocked to learn this number.
Qin Shiou scratched his head and said, "It should be fourteen or five million, right?" It seems to have been miscalculated. ”
Winnie looked at it and explained, "That's right, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu won't miscalculate, don't look at me, it's not that I have confidence in them, but this sentence is their slogan." Oh, I see, they do tax avoidance for you. ”
"You've provided three jobs, you've adopted four children and a young person with intellectual disabilities, and both the children and the youth have suffered misfortunes because of the state's inaction, and that can avoid a lot of taxes. Plus, you have two Labradoodles, which can also avoid taxes. ”
Qin Shiou laughed out loud and said, "What are you kidding, raising a dog can also avoid taxes?" ”
Winnie nodded seriously and said, "Of course, because you have a Labrador, which is a native animal of Newfoundland, the tax law does stipulate that if you have contributed to the protection of local original species, then you can avoid taxes, which is to encourage locals to protect their local species." ”
Lean, Qin Shiou scratched his head, no wonder almost every household on his mother's farewell island has a Labrador retriever.
Deloitte is one of the world's top accounting firms, and is extremely skilled in tax avoidance. In particular, Deloitte & Touche Tohmatsu gave him the title of 'philanthropist who is enthusiastic about reviving the glory of Newfoundland's fishing farms', which saved him nearly a million.
For such a bill, Qin Shiou will have to pay more than 80,000 yuan to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, but it is really worth it, if he had saved this amount of money, he would have to pay at least 25 times the tax.
Since you have to pay taxes, then you will be happy, and in the afternoon, Qin Shiou saw that the tax office in the farewell town was open, so he went to get a bank card to pay taxes.
As a result, when his car drove to the tax office, a group of well-dressed and well-appointed countrymen were visiting the nearby town government, with Hamre and Auerbach by their side.
Come on, this is a compatriot who is doing a tourist investigation, Qin Shiou has to go up and say hello anyway.
Hamlet introduced the two sides, the person who led the delegation was called Yan Donglei, an elegant man with glasses, in his forties, with a good temperament, and he knew that his cultivation was very good at a glance.
Qin Shiou shook hands with him, thinking that he was the owner of a travel company or something, but Hamlet was surprised when he introduced him, this gentleman has a lot of background, the president of the Newfoundland branch of the Chinese Canadian Mutual Aid Association.
Canadian Chinese Mutual Aid Association (Canadian-Chine-Societies), referred to as CCS, is a very famous political group in Canada, the main body is naturally the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Canada, Qin Shiou when he was visa, the embassy told him a sentence: "Don't look for police and lawyers in advance, find CCS first." ”
This shows how powerful this political group is in Canada.
Qin Shiou couldn't understand how such a big man could alarm such a big man in such a small and broken place as Farewell Island and the opening of a special tourist line in China, but it was not easy to ask now, he could only hold his questions in his heart.
"What did Mr. Qin do when you came here?" Yan Donglei said politely, "You don't need to say a few words here because we are compatriots, please be busy with your own affairs first, and you can come and chat at any time when you are done." ”
Qin Shiou shook the tax slip printed out in his hand and said: "I pay taxes, it's not a big deal, it's fate to meet our compatriots, no matter what, I have to say a few words." ”
Hearing this, Hamlet's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Qin, how much is the tax?" ”
Canadians are different from Chinese, Chinese pay attention to wealth and do not show it, especially when outsiders are present, Canadians are especially their neighbors Americans, who are different, go straight, and things related to money must be made public, and they cannot be deducted.
Qin Shiou had an extra heart, handed the tax bill to Hamray, and when the gentleman mayor saw it, his eyes turned into a fish trap: "God, one million and eight hundred thousand?" ”
The people in the tour group around who could understand English immediately grinned. (To be continued.)
