Chapter 45 I don't want to pay more taxes
The ranch is on track now, and there is no need for Weida to stay in the ranch all the time; It can be said that Weida still basically lives a very leisurely life now, and Simon Sr. can take care of the ranch, so it is definitely a good thing to go to Los Angeles to accompany his girlfriend at this time.
"Old Simon, the ranch is in your care, and I'm sure you can do it." Wei Da smiled and prepared to flash people to continue the 'vacation', going to the sand machine is really a vacation for Wei Da, he is very leisurely many times now. "Call me if you have something, but I know I don't need to get ideas on the ranch right now."
"Man, I'll take care of the ranch, it's actually doing pretty well right now." Old Simon smiled and drove Weida to the airport in the Abilene region, and the development of the ranch during this time was indeed good; In addition, it is now also preparing to raise livestock in captivity, which also reduces the workload of the cowboys a lot, which also means that old Simon can handle some things relatively easily.
Wei Dale got on the passenger plane, and there was no need for a first-class cabin or something like that; It's one thing to have money, but there's no need to spend it lavishly, and it's not a long flight anyway.
"Wei!" Anne raised her hand and looked at Wei Da happily, she smiled and opened her hands to hug Wei Da, ignoring the gaze of the person next to her, and took the initiative to kiss Wei Da very enthusiastically.
"I'm feeling accomplished now, Annie!" Wei Da smiled and took Anne's hand, and quietly pointed to the pedestrians who kept turning back next to him, "You must know that beauties like you are still very attractive, but now that they are out, you are my girlfriend, they can only envy it." ”
"Well, Wei, I'll admit it's a pretty nice compliment!" Anne smiled and held Wei Da's arm, although she is a strong woman and does have a strong sense of professionalism, but this does not mean that she does not like to be with Wei Da, after all, she is in love, and she also hopes to have more time with Wei Da.
The two of them were talking very sweetly, and this time Wei Da lived directly in Anne's apartment; Anne doesn't seem to be very proficient in cooking, although the kitchen is relatively complete, but Anne is not a perfect woman who can go out of the kitchen, and she is willing to spend her time studying cooking to study some market reports.
"Wei, it's a really good feeling, I really hope you can stay in the shaker so that we can have more dates." Anne hugged Wei Da's waist from behind and said softly, "I know your current conditions are very good, Wei; Investing in land is not the best option, the return on investment is not high, and the payback period of the investment is relatively long, I think you may want to consider some stocks. ”
"Anne, I don't have any research on stocks at all, I believe I'm still doing more research on land and ranching. My dear, this is my job, and it's what I've made now. Well, I'm not short of money, and it seems that I can live comfortably at home for the rest of my life. Wei Da is not exaggerating, now he is worth nearly 30 million US dollars, which is also a lot of money in the United States.
"Annie, I respect your work and I won't ask you to go to Texas. But I also hope that you can support me more in my choice, of course I want to be able to stay in Texas and be with you, but I really need to stay in Texas now, I am slowly developing my career in Texas, and now it seems that I am doing a good job. Weida continued to fry the steak, even though Anne was his girlfriend; But Wei Da has not yet reached the realm of loving the country and loving the beauty more, and now he also knows that he needs to work hard.
"Well, dear, I respect your choice." Anne doesn't want to dwell on such things, everyone needs to have their own space, and forcing Weida too hard is really not a good choice. "Wei, there is no personal income tax in Texas, I think you may be able to save a lot of money, which may be the reason why you stay in Texas."
Wei Da laughed, Lao Mei was afraid of death, and the second was afraid of paying taxes, of course, they were also very afraid of divorce.
Texas doesn't have a personal income tax, they just need to pay federal taxes; In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can be said to be more powerful than the FBI, they will keep an eye on every rich person, and they are always staring at those who evade taxes. Although the people on the Lao Mei side are not enthusiastic about paying taxes, because there is nothing like 'paying taxes honorably' here, they do not dare to evade taxes, because once they are found out, the punishment is quite serious.
There has always been a saying in the United States that "don't mess with the IRS if you mess with anyone." The IRS is even more deterrent than the CIA and the Department of Defense. In the United States, April 15 is a "big day." This is the deadline for paying taxes under U.S. federal law. Thousands of Americans have to deal with what has been described as "America's most feared government department": the Internal Revenue Service.
"I think it might be a lot of taxes, and even though there are no state taxes, there are a lot of federal taxes. My dear, I think it might take millions. But I'm not worried right now, it's not time to file my taxes yet. Wei Da smiled, paying taxes and the like is necessary no matter where it is, so Wei Da is not disgusted, although it is a lot of money.
"Millions?" Anne knew that Wei Da was rich, but she definitely didn't expect it to be such a huge sum, "Wei, did you miscalculate?" Honey, this is too exaggerated, I think you might be able to go and study it with your lawyer and accountant, millions are too exaggerated. ”
"My income is more than 30 million, although I spent most of it." Wei Da shook his head, it is estimated that there must be millions of taxes Wei Da, no matter in which country, there is a very high tax rate for high-income people.
"Honey, I think you might be wrong." Anne laughed, and also seriously helped Wei Da explain.
Wei Da also laughed, he originally thought that the personal income tax on Lao Mei's side was simply income and then multiplied by the tax rate; But now he also knows, in fact, the calculation formula is not like this at all, and there are many ways to reduce taxes.
"Wei, although you have an income of more than 30 million, your consumption has also reached about 20 million; And if you buy a new home, these are actually tax refundable. Dear, this is the United States, where the government encourages consumption; So you may be able to understand that although it is an income of 30 million, you can subtract your consumption in the year, and your remaining savings are the ones that need to be filed for tax returns. Anne smiled and explained to Wei Da that although Wei Da was making a small fuss, it still felt good.
"If you have a lot of children, if you have a lot of investment in charity, these are tax deductibles; And you can also choose to buy a house, which is also tax deductible. For a lot of people here, it's about spending their money, and they can't let Uncle Sam (the U.S. government) easily get more taxes. My dear, I think you need to discuss some of these things with your lawyer, and your accountant needs to help you get out of some tax avoidance options. This is a normal thing, and the rich are thinking of ways to cut taxes. Anne's opinion is very pertinent, and it is indeed what Weida needs to do now.
"My dear, I don't know much about taxation because the tax system in the United States is so complicated. But now that I've heard your opinions, I'm going to take a fresh look at these things. But I'm happy now, and it looks like I'm going to save a lot of money. Wei Da laughed, of course paying less taxes is a good thing, he doesn't want his money to go more into the pockets of the U.S. government.
"Maybe I'll spend more in the future, which will save me a lot of money." This can actually be regarded as a stupid method, basically it can be said that the U.S. government encourages consumption, when Weida consumes more, especially some projects encouraged by the government; This not only makes Wei Da get some tax cuts, but also reduces the net deposits in Wei Da's hands, which is also a relatively reduced tax option.
This is not tax evasion, but policy allows, and now the rich people in the United States are quite good at doing these things; Wei Da has also found a good thing now, and when he goes back, he has to discuss it with the lawyer and the accountant, so he doesn't want to pay more taxes!
