Chapter 1129 Paying taxes is glorious, and resisting taxes is imprisoned
Chen Lifu is famous all over the world, and his contribution is naturally great, and as the director of the Financial Department, although Xie Yiwei is not the specific person in charge of reform, he is also indispensable to his credit.
In many cases, if you want to make political achievements, you don't need to go into battle in person, use good people, and let your subordinates make achievements, as a boss, he also has political achievements.
When Chen Lifu's name began to spread throughout the Jinling officialdom, and even spread throughout the world's financial industry, it also made countless securities practitioners shout wolf!
No, it's Chen Rentu!
As soon as the reform plan was announced, the Ministry of Justice, as a cooperating department, issued a new securities law, a new securities law, which directly plugged many loopholes in the past.
This plugged the loophole, which basically means blocking a lot of people's wallets!
In the past, many securities companies and other practitioners used to exploit loopholes, and there were no relevant laws to prohibit and punish them, but now they can't, and many illegal operations have been ordered to be banned.
One of the most conspicuous new laws that has made countless securities practitioners frown is that it is forbidden to use inside information to trade for profit!
At the same time, a series of other rules have been formulated, the main purpose of which is to prohibit some illegal operations, especially the shareholders of large institutions and listed companies from illegal operations, and then make money from ordinary investors such as small institutions or retail investors.
After the issuance of the new securities law, the tax department also followed in time, and this time they invented a new tax specifically for the financial industry, called the financial income tax!
In the past, the money was still in the fund company, or it was made by speculating in stocks on its own, according to the previous tax law, it was not necessary to pay taxes, because the Ministry of Taxation did not specify the relevant tax laws, this time taking advantage of the opportunity of securities reform, the Ministry of Taxation directly designated the financial income tax, specifically for stock income, interest income and other income tax!
The tax rate is not high, only 20 percent!
The people in the tax department thought that the tax they collected was not high, but as soon as this tax came out, a group of people and employees cried and cried, saying that the people were not living well and so on.
Qian Aoli of the Ministry of Taxation recently fought with Song Ruan Gao, the fighting method is not the key, the key is to lose, watching Song Ruan Gao gradually take control of the Ministry of Finance and completely clean up his influence, so, he has been in a bad mood recently!
I heard that the financial industry, led by the securities industry, is very dissatisfied with the financial income tax, saying that the people are not living and so on, Qian Qili is angry!
Ma Dan, it makes him seem that he doesn't know how much these people who play finance earn, and they don't pay taxes if they earn more, don't think about it!
I used to think that the first time I cut leeks with a knife, the force was a little lighter, boiled frogs in warm water, and then slowly increased the tax rate in the future.
But thinking that the reaction was so strong, he got angry, and when he went down on a piece of paper, there was another type of tax, this time the tax was called financial income tax, and the tax rate was 10%.
God knows what the difference is between financial income tax and financial income tax, but the point is that when these two items are combined, the tax rate becomes 30% with a bang!
Qian Yili also let out the wind, saying that if the financial industry is dissatisfied with the tax this time, he is ready to collect the financial stamp duty that will be prepared for implementation in a few years in advance, not much, only 5 percent!
This time, people in the financial industry are honest!
One by one, they all said that the tax rate of 30 percent is not high, it is not high at all, it is acceptable, and it is their honor to pay financial taxes to contribute to the empire!
After Qian Aoli learned about it, he snorted coldly: "It's all a bunch of cheap bones, after so many years, don't you know how the four words of tax glory came from!" ”
How did it come about, the four words of tax glory were poured by the tax inspection team with countless blood!
Under the strength of the Imperial Tax Department for so many years, such a concept has basically been formed, that is, it is glorious to pay taxes, and to go to prison for tax resistance.
If it was the previous Ming Dynasty or something, and the Tang Dynasty engaged in such a strong taxation system, it is estimated that it would have been chaotic a long time ago, and the gentry and merchants of the world would shout about the Son of Heaven and the people to seize profits and the like, and then all kinds of turmoil, and then in the end, they will not be able to do it, and it will end in the failure of reform and the victory of the landlord.
But in the Tang Empire, this kind of thing did not occur.
In the face of the taxes levied by the Tang Empire, especially the integrated taxation of the gentry, the apportionment of the acres and the commercial tax system, almost all the gentry, landlords and businessmen were strongly opposed, and the armed resistance to taxes that broke out for this was not once or twice, but thousands of times.
In the face of this situation, if it were replaced by other dynasties, it is estimated that they would have retreated a long time ago, but the Tang Empire did not retreat!
On the contrary, they continued to maintain a high-pressure attitude, using the tax inspection team and even the army to carry out various kinds of repression, and the number of people who died because of tax resistance in recent years has been 80,000, if not 100,000, which is not a small number.
And the quantitative change of killing will cause a qualitative change.
As the saying goes: killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male.
This sentence can not be simply understood literally as killing, but also have to consider the creative background, this passage is from the "Bloody Little Fusang" is used to commemorate the Nanjing Massacre, so combined with the background and then targeted interpretation, in fact, the meaning of this is that killing a Fusang devil is a crime, killing 10,000 Fusang devils is a hero, if you can slaughter the Fusang Islands, that is the hero of the Chinese heroes!
Let's ask, who doesn't want to be a hero in China?
The tax policy of the Tang Empire is also similar, if you kill a tax resistant, you will be scolded, but if you kill all those who resist taxes, then no one will scold, but shout the glory of paying taxes.
Don't you see, now that ten years have passed in Xuanping, those landlords and gentry have many rules, honestly pay taxes, and have made outstanding contributions to the development and prosperity of the Tang Empire!
Now, those who contribute to the empire are in the financial industry!
The financial industry is originally an industry that rolls in money, and in recent years, due to the lack of supervision, employees have become even richer, ordinary practitioners have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the annual salary of senior officials is not a few.
In such an industry, how can you do it without collecting taxes, it must be collected, and it must be collected fiercely!
The new tax policy issued by the Ministry of Taxation can also be regarded as part of the reform of the securities industry!
Chen Lifu was originally born in the Ministry of Taxation, and has a natural affinity for tax collection, and it is also his idea to tax the financial industry legally and reasonably.
The securities industry has been reformed, plugged many loopholes, and at the same time, it has begun to collect taxes legally and reasonably, which is naturally not a small blow to the financial industry, and will even trigger a new round of reshuffle in the financial industry, but this is the inevitable development of the financial industry towards the formalization, and it is always possible to let the financial industry develop so barbarically because of the fear of reshuffle, and then cause greater harm!
Of course, in this process, it is unknown how many people hate Chen Lifu who proposed the securities reform plan, but it will definitely be more people who commit suicide than after the stock crash.
But in this world, there are more people who want him Chen Lifu to die, and in the past few years, he Chen Lifu has not experienced what seems to be an accidental assassination, but he is still alive and well, while those who want him to die have died a lot.
Then again, only people like Chen Lifu, who don't have too many worries and want to do big things, can do such a thing as securities reform, and if they are ordinary officials, people will not do such thankless work.
Every day I came to Yamen to drink tea and read the newspaper, and when I was short of money, a large number of people from the financial industry such as securities companies lined up to deliver it, and I don't know how comfortable it was to live this small day.
It's just that this comfort comes at a price!
The division of the financial department was demoted to the southwest of the mountain Kara, this is not counted, I heard that the person climbed the mountains and waded through the water, and it was not easy to get to the local office, but the ministry began to prepare for his new appointment, and it is not clear where he will go next, but one thing is certain, then he does not expect to return to Jinling City in this life.
In addition, dozens of other former officials in the financial department who were taken away by the Inspectorate and are now in prison are also about to usher in their own trials, and there will be no fewer death sentences, and more will be imprisoned.
And these people who are in prison, don't expect to spend their lives in prison peacefully, the financial constraints of the Tang Empire will never support idlers, and the criminals who have been sentenced have basically three destinations!
One is that at the same time as the sentence, the prisoner who was also sentenced to exile, depending on whether the circumstances are serious or not, will be exiled to some bitter cold places or overseas territories, such as Dayuan Island, Qiongzhou Island, Northeast China, Yunnan Guizhou Island, Northwest China, etc. Overseas include Luzon Islands, Banten Islands, Australia, etc.
If you are not sentenced to exile, then if you only serve an ordinary sentence, many of them will go to some specific mining areas, mining, and in addition, there are factories inside the prison, and you may work in the factories.
If you want to lie in bed peacefully, you don't have to do anything and you can still eat and drink, how can there be such a good thing, let alone a prisoner, even if it is a small landlord!
Whether they were sentenced to death, imprisoned, or exiled, in fact, for these once high-ranking officials, they all went from heaven to hell in an instant, which is enough to make them regret it for the rest of their lives.
The securities industry has set off a reform, Chen Lifu because of the reform plan, a great reputation, as Chen Lifu's top boss, the director of the financial department Xie Yiwei is also quite cool.
Strictly speaking, he didn't do anything, but no one can deny his role in this!
It is precisely because of this director of the financial department, who has not even understood the business difference between commercial banks and securities companies, that Chen Lifu has the opportunity to meet with the saint, and then the securities reform plan can smoothly enter the implementation stage.
Xie Yiwei doesn't seem to have done anything practical, but his role is still crucial!
In many cases, a boss does not say that he has to do things, or even that he does not need to do things, as long as he can put the people who can do things in the right position and give certain support, then this is a qualified or even successful boss.
It's a pity that not many people can do that!
So most of them are obscure to everyone, and Xie Yiwei has gradually been promoted, and now he has become the director of the Financial Department, and in the future, maybe he will be able to become a squire or even a scholar!
And such a person is what Chen Lifu hates the most, if he doesn't do anything, he knows that exploiting the merits of his subordinates as a resource for promotion, and then entrenching himself in a high position, is really a traitor to the country.
Especially for such an important position as the director of the Financial Department, people like Xie Yiwei must not be allowed to steal for a long time!
Sooner or later, he will take his place!
Not for high-ranking officials, only for the common people in the world!
