Chapter 16 Taxes, this nasty thing!

"Hey...... Uncle is discriminating against women, and now he pays attention to equality between men and women, why does uncle still do this! Really, that's not right. Zhao Jie said angrily.

Jesse Chou was helpless, "I said, sister, you are in the United States, and the national conditions of these two countries are different." Besides, in the past, the people of the Celestial Empire didn't believe in this set, passing on the ancestry, raising children to prevent old age, dying and sending them to the end, burning paper in front of the grave, forehead, and three from four virtues! This is all the traditional thinking of the Celestial Empire. ”

"Ancestors, or Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mencius, everything. There are some things that women can't replace. What's more, even if it is the American empire, it is not necessarily equal between men and women, otherwise there would be so many feminist movements. Jesse Chou reluctantly explained to this long-time immigrant.

"Okay, okay, it's not just raw. Breed. Machine! It's such an exaggeration, what's the big deal! I know, I haven't been away from the Celestial Empire for a long time, and I don't seem to understand anything, so I won't talk about this. Zhao Jie waved his hand and said.

"It's still alive. Breed. Utensil? What's the big deal? What's wrong with me, am I having auditory hallucinations? Zhou Jiexi wanted to say something with a ridiculous face, but after a pause, Zhou Jiexi opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, Zhao Jie began to say again, and Zhou Jiexi had to swallow the words into his mouth. Jesse, you didn't make it clear on the phone, what the hell are you doing in the United States? Zhao Jie asked again.

At this time, Zhou Jiexi was a little more serious and said to Zhao Jie: "Sister Jie, I have a property to inherit, so I want to ask you for help to take a look, after all, I don't know anything in the United States, so I'm sorry for you." ”

Zhao Jie nodded "oh", and "ah." What is it? Property inheritance? How much does it cost? Who's it? Are you a relative? Zhao Jie asked a few questions in a row.

"Oh, don't ask that much at once." Zhou Jiexi complained and explained to Zhao Jie, after all, she will depend on her in the next few days.

"The two old people should have given them some help for me, and they may be about to pass away, so they want to give me some things outside their bodies, a relatively large number, and we are saying after we park, the car says that it is not safe."

Zhou Jiexi didn't say it too clearly, and he didn't say the number of money, after all, he was still on the highway, if Zhao Jie couldn't stand the stimulation and drove the car out of the road, then he would die before he was killed.

Zhao Jie also nodded and didn't say more, he was surprised just now, so he had some things that shouldn't be said, and he also asked, and now he is a little annoyed. The two chatted about some interesting things when they were young, and when they arrived at the hotel that Jessie Chou had booked, the distance between the two was closer, of course, not the distance between men and women.

And the most important thing is that Zhao Jie is average, and he also wears a pair of glasses, except for his good temperament and figure, really Jessie Chou has no sexual qualifications. After saying that I knew each other when I was a child, I was still a friend of my sister, so I can't have that idea, if something happens, I will be responsible, Jesse Chou has no plans to get married now.

The two came to Jessie Chou to book the Haode Hotel online, which is the Four Seasons Hotel located in Beverly Hills. The Four Seasons Hotel is a very beautiful hotel, each of her rooms has a private balcony, and the modern decoration style is simple and elegant, which is very suitable for tourists who prefer simple comfort.

The interiors are luxurious, with each room equipped with a flat-screen TV, an internet docking station, and a view of the Beverly Hills lettered Hollywood directly from the window when you're tired. And it's only a ten-minute drive from downtown Hollywood and a block away from the mall, making it very convenient for fun and shopping.

Walking into the luxurious facilities inside the hotel, a sense of exquisite luxury is blowing in your face, and the gorgeous chandeliers reflect the splendor of the hall. Jessie Zhou walked to the service desk in the lobby, blurted out fluent standard English, and gave the waiter his identity certificate.

The waiter immediately helped Zhou Jiexi check in, and Zhou Jiexi booked a large one-bedroom suite, after all, it may be one person or two people, if you are crazy, it is still possible to add a few people.

Jesse Chou is now going to be kind to himself, and he has decided to enjoy life and cherish the hard-won opportunity, if he suddenly wakes up from a dream and has not enjoyed anything, it is not that he wants to cry without tears.

After checking in, Jessie Chou did not go to the guest room, but invited Zhao Jie to have a cup of coffee with him. There is a restaurant in the hotel, and Zhao Jie did not refuse when she received Jesse Chou's invitation, because she knew that Jesse Chou was going to talk about that important thing, and the two communicated with Zhao Jie so that she could know how to help Jesse Chou.

When they went to the restaurant, the two asked the waiter to find a remote and quiet corner, and the two of them ordered a cup of coffee and tipped the waiter. Of course, sometimes it's not like you can't give how much you give.

But then everyone will look down on you, and some places will directly write that please give a tip not less than how much so-and-so, and there must be a minimum tip. But after all, this is a phenomenon formed by society, so it is better to follow the masses.

Zhou Jiexi took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and told Zhao Jie that a pair of old people he had saved, and their entrusted lawyer called him and said that the old man had a large amount of property to hand over to him. asked him to come to Los Angeles to sign the documents, so he wanted to go with her to see it, after all, what is prepared, and it is necessary to guard against everyone

In fact, Zhou Jiejing's caution is completely unnecessary, after all, the old man has not passed away, and he is just entrusting a lawyer to transfer it now. There are accounting audits, financial appraisers, and third-party government witnesses, so there is no authorization for this property, and the bank and the government will not let anyone transfer it casually.

And it will make a lot of money if it is transferred to the government like this, beauty. Emperor. Country. Host. The righteous tax system is very complete, and the wealth of the dead and the living must be intervened, but it is too much for you to transfer and give it to you, so that the wealth can be redistributed.

"Xiaojie, let's put it this way, the U.S. government levies a high tax on the transfer of personal assets, although this tax is commonly known as inheritance tax, but in fact it contains three types of personal asset transfer taxes: one is inheritance tax, the second is gift tax, and the third is the intergenerational asset transfer tax."

"In 1916, the federal government only introduced an estate tax, and then in order to prevent the evasion of inheritance tax by giving the estate during the lifetime and transferring the estate to the next generation or generations of children in the form of a trust, the federal government successively introduced a gift tax and an intergenerational inheritance transfer tax. Since 1977, the U.S. has been subject to a flat scale of inheritance and gift taxes. ”

Jessie Chou nodded, indicating that he understood.

Zhao Jie took a sip of coffee and continued: "Hehe, let me tell you, inheritance in the United States is a troublesome matter, that is, the inheritance tax must be paid by the heirs, and the tax is paid first before inheritance and distribution of property." ”

"The law stipulates that the administrator or executor of the estate must be responsible for paying the tax in cash within nine months of the death of the original owner before the estate can be distributed. If you don't have enough money for a while, you can apply for a deferment of payment, but the period must not exceed 6 months. ”

"Ah, what about me?" Jessie Chou was greatly disillusioned when he heard this, and thought to himself how many billions I have to pay.

Zhao Jie waved his hand and told him to listen to himself, "Paying taxes first and dividing property later has become the biggest criticism of estate tax in the United States, because this method will cause the heirs of the estate to fall into the dilemma of not being able to pay taxes on time due to insufficient cash." ”

"Of course, the inheritance tax in the United States is not all the inheritance obtained by the heirs are taxable, and the inheritance left by a person can be deducted from debts, funeral expenses, charitable donations, and then deducted from the personal exemption, and the remaining inherited property will be taxed."

"You have to pay a gift tax, if the old man dies, you may not be able to get the money, after all, not to mention the direct or collateral heirs, you are not, you have to pay a sum of money to get the money, it is not possible to get it in a short time."

Jessie Chou nodded in agreement, "Then what should I do?" Jesse Chou said.

"In the United States, the gift tax is to prevent the rich from leaving money to future generations, and the government will levy a gift tax if a person gives his property to his descendants or others while he is alive."

Therefore, there are more wealthy people in the United States who make charitable donations, and it is almost impossible to find people who can leave all their wealth to future generations, all thanks to the intervention of "Uncle Sam" here, although the property is earned by you. ”

But "Uncle Sam" wants to divide the property left by the old man after his death, like the son of a rich man. "Uncle Sam" is not enough to be a "son", but also to be an "old man", if you want to transfer your property to future generations or others while you are alive, you must first pay tribute to the "old man", at this time it is not called inheritance tax but a gift tax. ”

"The U.S. imperialist is so ruthless, then don't intervene in everything. Kao。 Jessie Chou complained.

Zhao Jie glared at Jessie Chou, "Don't interject, don't swear." ”

Jessie Chou hurriedly made a zipper movement with his hand in his mouth, and then made a gesture of "Please continue to fight in the group, don't disturb."

Zhao Jie looked funny, but he refreshed himself and said, "But you're okay, when Americans are alive, giving property to future generations when they are alive has an advantage over leaving an inheritance to future generations after death, that is, it will not cause trouble for future generations or beneficiaries to pay taxes, the gift tax is paid by the donor, and the beneficiary only obtains the property and does not need to pay taxes, which avoids the embarrassing situation that may occur in the inheritance tax that the beneficiary cannot get the inheritance due to the cashless payment of inheritance tax." ”

Jessie Chou suddenly had peach blossoms on his face, it was a roller coaster. "So I don't have to pay taxes and I get this money? Zhou Jiejing suddenly said happily.

"Well, but when the time comes, you will have to ask the financial planner and the accountant to sum it up, so cost-effective, after all, you are still a citizen of the Celestial Empire, and you may have to pay personal income tax. When the time comes, ask a lawyer to plan, and if you become a U.S. citizen, if you don't want to, you can apply for a green card first, and then plan again. ”

"The taxes in the Celestial Empire can be avoided, but the tax system of the Celestial Empire is territorial, that is, where you are, you will pay taxes. So I'll look into it, and it might be fine. But it's better to be naturalized, so that the property you inherit here is easier to take care of, and now I heard that there are a lot of immigrants from the Celestial Empire, don't you have any pressure on this? ”

Jessie Chou weighed the gains and losses, people don't kill for themselves, and the fat in their hands will be given to the group of pigs Lou to take a bite, give them a good car, drink good wine, go to a beautiful girl, and pack a second wife.

How does this feel like someone else going to prostitute and paying them for a ticket, it feels disgusting to think about it. "Hehe, it's okay, I don't care about this, I'm actually a stateless person, the earth is the same, it's the same everywhere, and the name of human beings won't change." Zhou Jiexi said shamelessly without changing his face.

Zhao Jie doesn't say anything on this, all love is valuable, as long as the price is right, it is not impossible to consider. What's more, it's still a lot of money, and no one wants to change it, and you have such a large amount of money in the Celestial Empire, it's really not necessarily safe, the fucking law in the Celestial Empire, hehe...... Or is the US imperialist more thoughtful, of course, referring to legal property.

The two chatted casually a little more and agreed to go to the office together tomorrow. After drinking coffee, Zhao Jie said that he was embarrassed to leave first, and there was a fiancΓ© at home who said that he wanted to surprise her. Zhou Jiejing listened, where can you say anything, the relationship between the young couple is enhanced, and you still want to be Cheng Biting Gold. So he called the checkout and got up to send her out.
