Chapter 211, Legal Tax Avoidance
"Yes, Harry, I agree with what you say, of course, not only me, but many rich people like us, American tax collectors, are our natural enemies!"
Martin Goodman apparently also hated the IRS and agreed with Lei's statement.
"Harry, for your sake, I think you should find a group of qualified lawyers to complete your tax action. If you do it yourself, there will definitely be a leak, and if you pay more, it's nothing! If you don't pay enough, you'll be in trouble! Martin Goodman continued.
"Thank you, Martin Goodman. It looks like I'm going to have to find someone to help me with my taxes. I can't let those vampires take all my heart and soul away. According to the tax rate here, how much do I need to pay for my current funds? Lei Weidong asked with a not very good look.
You must know that Lei Weidong has made too much money in the United States during this time, not counting this income, the income of comics like Xiaomi Comics America, and the income of toys such as cauliflower dolls are also very powerful.
With so much money added up, it will definitely exceed 400 million US dollars a year, and if the tax is paid according to the US tax rate, Lei Weidong will definitely adapt to the highest level of treatment now, and it seems that he will have to pay nearly 40 percent. In that case, Lei Weidong would have to pay more than $160 million in taxes in the United States.
was cut off by the U.S. tax officer, and it was more than 160 million US dollars, Lei Weidong estimated that the reincarnation of the Buddha would be distressed.
Hearing Lei Weidong's inquiry, Martin Goodman shook his head and explained:
"The tax rate you want to teach is actually very complicated, because there are too many taxes in the United States, and it is too troublesome, and it also involves tax refunds. However, according to your income, if you really follow the normal procedure, you have to pay at least 160 million, of course, the tax refund will definitely be refunded, but I don't know how much. You'd better ask a lawyer. ”
Lei Weidong nodded and agreed with Martin Goodman's words, after all, it is best to consult a professional person for professional matters, taxation in the United States is too complicated, and a tycoon like Martin Goodman, even if he wants to pay taxes, sometimes can't figure it out.
"Robert, how much do you think I'm going to pay in taxes this time?" Because Robert, an American lawyer, is next to him, Lei Weidong doesn't want to go far.
"Boss, I really don't know exactly how much to pay, after all, I'm not a lawyer in charge of this!" Robert explains:
"Although I have helped others pay taxes, but those are ordinary family taxes, and a rich man like you generally needs a professional team, because the boss has to pay taxes, there are too many items that can be used to deduct and avoid taxes, and if a lawyer like me operates, there will definitely be omissions! It must be done by an accountant who specializes in tax matters.
"Oh! Robert, you tell me that I have those tax avoidances and tax refunds! You don't need to be exact, just know the general situation! Robert's words made Lei Weidong interested, in his previous life, he had heard that the United States has tax avoidance and tax refunds, which is completely different from China's taxes.
The United States is a country that strictly cracks down on tax evasion, and they are always very concerned about such things, and as long as you dare to evade a dollar of taxes, then the US government does not mind spending millions of dollars to hire a lawyer to meet with you in court.
Don't think that the U.S. government is stupid, they spend millions of dollars for a dollar. Because if you evade taxes for a dollar, then the judge will definitely end up ruling against you. As a loser, you not only have to pay a dollar in taxes, but you also need to pay the legal fees of the million-dollar team of lawyers hired by the U.S. government for you.
So in the United States, you must not think about tax evasion, it is an absolute nightmare experience.
However, the law of the United States does not explicitly prohibit tax avoidance, as long as you do not touch the law, the government will not care about how you avoid taxes, and even if you ask the tax bureau to pour you money, of course, this must be allowed by law.
As a wealthy person in the United States, the first thing you want is not how to make money, but how to figure out how to deal with the tax officer. If you don't know how to avoid taxes reasonably, then maybe you were a billionaire last year, and you became a multimillionaire this year because of taxes.
So don't blame the rich people in the United States for having money and never saving, but after getting the money, they go to spend, expand production, or buy luxury goods, which does not mean that they all like this, but because of the tax in the United States, if they don't spend the money, then sooner or later the money will be the US government.
And more importantly, if you buy products in the United States, especially local products, or some other local consumption, then you will get preferential tax rebates. ”
"Yes boss! I think that in your income this time, such as the authorization of clothing, stationery and other products, as well as the adaptation rights of games, etc., you can use the method of offshore company authorization to avoid taxes, because the boss you own all the copyrights, plus you are not a citizen of the United States, so you can make money outside the United States without paying taxes.
As for the broadcast rights of animation, although it is an animation made by an American animation company, and Marvel is responsible for negotiation, it is a little troublesome to operate, but I believe that some reasonable means can be used to avoid taxes by means of those tax avoidance companies.......
Listening to Robert's words, Lei Weidong suddenly found that the tax he should pay was far less than he expected, because he was a non-American, as long as he used the means of an offshore company, he could use a reasonable way to avoid taxes by making money in the United States.
It is no wonder that so many wealthy Americans in another time and space have chosen to change their nationality, and this is entirely because of the US tax policy. Of course, you need to find a professional to inquire about how much tax to pay and how to pay it.
"It seems that I need a team of professional lawyers to solve my current problem! So Mr. Martin, I hope you can introduce me to a suitable team! Lei Weidong looked at Martin Goodman with a smile
"Of course!" Martin Goodman laughs: "We are partners, your business is my business, I know a great tax aid company that specializes in us rich people, I have been working with them for decades and have never had a problem!" ”
