Chapter 892 - Curious Tax Policy (Sixth Update)
(Thanks to my friend for his industrious pants, snowflake burial, and Han Duodemon's encouragement)
The little ones saw the milk powder, and it was not okay not to feed it. Liu Yunxuan had no choice but to give them a little less rush, which could be regarded as satisfying their hunger. Otherwise, no matter how good things are, it is easy to have stomach trouble.
"Director Ashe, Tong Guò, you must also feel that there is not much difference between animal milk powder and infant milk powder." Liu Yunxuan waited for these little animal babies and sat back and said with a smile.
"Their raw materials and production lines are the same, the only difference is that there are not so many trace elements needed for the growth of human infants and young children in animal milk powder."
It's a little bit left over from yesterday, otherwise it's a bit of a problem to explain today.
Hearing Liu Yunxuan's words, Ash was worried. Liu Yunxuan's infant formula milk powder is so expensive, if this is all using the same milk source as raw materials, the price of animal milk powder is really not high.
"I won't hide it from you, it takes about eight pounds of fresh milk to produce one pound of milk powder, and the price of our milk itself is relatively expensive, so the price of the milk powder produced is naturally not low. In fact, we don't have much profit at our current sales price. Liu Yunxuan continued.
"We can't just look at how expensive we sell, we also have to bear a lot of income tax, and we have to pay a lot of ∞ on these messy taxes every year." said that in the end, Liu Yunxuan complained again.
The tax revenue in the United States is chaotic, not only with high tax rates, but also with many obvious eyes. Although the products produced by our company enjoy certain tax discounts, they can't stand the large sales of the products, and the tax paid to Montana every year is a lot of money.
In fact, Liu Yunxuan is not just complaining, mainly in the United States, there is a consumption tax for consumers. When you buy something in the supermarket, you have to pay your own taxes. Although there are five states in the United States that do not have excise taxes. But there are so many other states that have them, and the tax rate is not low.
Liu Yunxuan is also a reminder to Ash, aren't you thinking about the price being lower, this is easy to do, think of a way to reduce taxes. The consumption tax is reduced a little, and the income tax on my side is reduced a little more. Let's make do with both sides, and we can guarantee my profits.
"Ash, it's true, the consumption tax on our side is really high now. In California, it's 7.5 percent. Turley also complained on the side.
He is a pure consumer, and he will be charged a lot of taxes every time he consumes and shops. From a consumer's point of view, he also sincerely hopes that the consumption tax will be cheaper.
Ash nodded, he also knew a lot about the strange taxes in various states in the United States. Because some state tax standards are really weird.
Just like California just mentioned by Turley, there is a special agency in their state called the Tax Equalization Bureau, which determines the ultimate fate of California's food taxes.
Let's take a carrot. The identity of the purchaser is different, and it also determines whether to collect taxes or not. Homeless people or ostrich farms buy it, which is tax-free. But if you are bought by the racecourse, you will have to pay taxes obediently. What if it's a zoo or a wildlife sanctuary? He also sometimes pays taxes or may not pay taxes.
It is precisely because of this that he has a lot of dealings with this tax bureau. After all, many wildlife sanctuaries and zoos are non-profit organizations, so they can pay less taxes and spend less money, and they can also be better used for animals.
But he also has no choice, and the policies of each state are different. He wasn't very convincing when he got there. To put it bluntly, people will listen to you if they give face. I don't want to give you face, so you can stay where you want. Because the United States is made up of confederations, the U.S. Constitution gives each state the freedom to make laws and taxes.
Looking at the baby animals holding the basin and licking the milk powder at the bottom of the basin, Ash was also a little anxious. This is what I have seen with my own eyes, and baby animals love to drink this milk powder. If it is popularized, it will definitely contribute to the cause of wildlife conservation. That's what I did.
If Liu Yunxuan knew that Ash was more anxious about promoting his animal milk powder than he was now, he would definitely find a place where no one was there and laugh.
"Director Ashe, why don't you join forces with these wildlife conservation organizations and parks to make some tax deductions for wildlife conservation?" Jack on the side interjected at the right time.
"I think with your organization, plus those more influential old charitable organizations. Those state governments that have taxes will carefully consider and make certain tax deductions. ”
Liu Yunxuan gave Jack an approving look, and also gave him a thumbs up in his heart. Very well, this is the time to give Ash a proper thrust and let him fight hard for the tax cut. The tax is reduced, and you can sell more of your own animal milk powder.
"Hey, I'll try it when I go back, but this consumption tax also directly affects the fiscal revenue of various states, which is a bit difficult to do." Ash said with a sigh.
In the past, he had thought about doing such a show, but it was sometimes really difficult to define. The definition of the nature of the product also plays an important role in taxation.
For example, the more famous American tomato tax case.
That was in 1893, and according to the U.S. tax law at that time, imported fruits were exempt from import duties. At that time, an American brought a batch of tomatoes from the West Indies. He thought the tomatoes were fruits and should be exempt from customs duties, while the New York customs office thought they were vegetables and had to pay 10% tariffs.
Until it went to the Supreme Court, after a trial, the court made a verdict: tomatoes are vegetables and not fruits. The basis for this is that the court has determined that tomatoes are a kind of creeping fruit, and in people's perception, they are always eaten as meals along with carrots and kale.
"Hey, we're better here, there's no consumption tax, otherwise I'll have to pay tax on these milk powders sent to my own safari park." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile. Montana is one of only five states that does not have a consumption tax, otherwise Liu Yunxuan would also have to pay a foreign tax.
"Director Ashe, if you really want to do this, we can help you with the materials to prove the special nature of our animal milk powder. Because our milk powder is suitable for all mammalian babies. Liu Yunxuan continued.
If you want to make your family tax-free, you must have a good reason, and the function of your own milk powder is a good reason. It is sold so expensively that no zoo will use it on a large scale after buying it, and will only use it for those rare and protected animals.
"Alright, Andy, I'm going to trouble you then." Ash nodded and said.
"And when you go back, you'd better help us notify some zoos that are interested in buying animal milk powder, we don't have much profit, and it's more for our own use." Liu Yunxuan hugged the little lion who was biting his trouser tube and playing, scratched its little belly to make it stop and said.
"We can produce milk powder or sell fresh milk directly, and we can generate a lot more profit than this. At present, the milk source in my farm is still somewhat limited, so animal milk powder is not produced a lot. ”
Actually, that's what he's fooling around here. The production cost of infant formula milk powder is about 30 US dollars, after all, the proportion of trace elements in this animal milk powder has been reduced, so the cost has been reduced a lot, basically the price of milk plus some production costs.
But Raul's price is $59 a can, which is a big profit if it sells well. Because animals eat more than children. Let's take Hehe Meimei as an example, they eat enough for Xiao Afu to eat for a few days. Anyway, he didn't know what it was like, so he flickered with himself.
This can be regarded as preparing for the future, with the development of the company, they will also buy more pasture, raise more cattle and sheep, there will be a day when the milk production in the pasture will be higher than the amount people buy, and at that time, it will be up to these small animals to exert their strength.
Michelle knew a little bit about these things, and Jack knew a little bit about them, but Ash and Terley didn't know. In their cognition, the milk in the pastoral pasture can be sold out of stock, and the sales of milk powder are also very good. They are really a little worried that Liu Yunxuan's animal milk powder is less here, and it will not be enough when the time comes.
"Andy, let's do it, when I go back in the afternoon, I'll talk to these people who are interested in buying and see what they think. How about the production quantities that you are in control of? Ash thought about it for a moment and said.
If you come here by yourself, you can't come in vain. Anyway, even if you want to reduce the consumption tax on milk powder, you also need to contact those people in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, and let's talk about it together.
"Okay, I don't have any problems here, it's almost time for lunch, I invite the two of you to dine together. Jack, you can contact Raul and Sidney and pass on a copy of our milk powder testing standards. Liu Yunxuan happily agreed, and asked Jack to help prepare the materials in advance.
can be regarded as relatively familiar, and the two of them are also happy to agree to Liu Yunxuan's invitation. Ash also wanted to get acquainted with Liu Yunxuan, and he would not stay in the Fish and Wildlife Bureau for the rest of his life. Turley will be an employee of the Foundation next month, and this is an invitation from the future boss, so how can he not agree.
"Brother Xuanzi, is the tax in the United States really so strange?" After sending the two away after lunch, Qiuqiu asked curiously.
After he came back, he followed Lonely and listened to it on the side, and when he heard Liu Yunxuan and them talking about tax issues, he also felt that it was so amazing here.
"Of course, if it weren't for that, Ash wouldn't be so embarrassed. Wouldn't it be nice to just ask the U.S. government to make an executive order? Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
It doesn't matter if his taxes are strange or not, anyway, this matter is led by Ash, and it would be good for him to follow the profits. (To be continued......)
