Chapter 384 Immigration Plan (3)
"But Tuvalu is only a small island country after all, how big can you build over there?
According to public information on the Internet, the total population of Tuvalu is less than 10,000, and the size of your special zone may not exceed this number. ”
Based on the information found on his mobile phone, Li Wei once again raised his doubts.
"Migration is only a means to change the working and living environment, and it does not mean that all migrants need to live in Tuvalu.
Immigrants who obtain a Tuvalu passport can enjoy the benefits of 82 visa-free countries.
This makes it much easier to work and travel to other countries.
In addition, our construction in the Tuvalu Special Zone is mainly residential, and we have recently planned an urban unit with a radius of 600 meters, which can meet the living and residential needs of more than 80,000 immigrants when fully completed.
And their immigration costs are the start-up funds for the construction of this urban unit, and the subsequent costs will be invested in the form of taxes year by year. ”
Li Wei slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, when it comes to taxes, what is your tax policy in the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region?"
Moreover, the continuity and stability of tax policy are also issues of concern. ”
Wei Minsheng said: "I hope to build that special zone into a special zone for Chinese people.
In the early stages of the construction of the Special Economic Zone, we will definitely have to advance a large amount of funds, which can only be repaid through taxes.
So, taxes have to exist.
It's just that the tax system is too complicated, and it's a very annoying thing for me and all immigrants.
Therefore, after deliberations, the SAR has preliminarily only determined the poll tax, customs duties and inheritance tax.
According to the agreement with the Tuvalu authorities, the SAR can determine its own monetary system in addition to using the Tuvaluan dollar or the Australian dollar.
Until our own monetary system is built, the Australian dollar will prevail for the time being.
This year's poll tax is preliminarily determined to be 2,000 Australian dollars per person, which is about 10,000 yuan if it is converted into soft sister currency.
After the relevant departments and urban construction are improved, the amount of poll tax collected in the coming year will be determined by voting.
Since Tuvalu is essentially a net importer of resources, 20 per cent of the tariffs are levied on legal goods that do not enter the SAR through our channels.
In addition, other goods turnover taxes will no longer be levied on the circulation of goods in the Special Economic Zone.
For estate duty, 50% of the estate tax is levied on the portion of an individual's assets above $200,000.
This is a tax set to reduce the gap between rich and poor.
All the tax revenues of the special zone, except for the operating expenses of the administrative departments and the repayment of the construction funds of the special zone, will be used to improve the social security of the members of the special zone. ”
"This kind of tax policy is so simple and clear that it is easy for anyone to understand.
It's just that will such a policy change overnight and change if you want? ”
"In the District of Tuvalu, any changes to tax policy must be decided by a vote of all immigrants who have the right to vote.
The voting power of immigrants is determined by basic cognitive ability and personal integrity.
Cognitive ability must be equivalent to the initial Chinese level or above, with the basic ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
Integrity is something unique to Tuvalu, and all immigrants start at 60 when they become members of the District, and then increase by 1 point each year.
Integrity is not only related to voting rights, but also related to the social welfare that individuals should enjoy, because integrity value is an important basis for determining individual social welfare.
The current laws of the HKSAR are not complicated, but each of them will be linked to this level of integrity, and anyone who has a level of integrity below 60 will lose the right to vote. ”
Liu Mengling said: "No matter how complicated the law is, it is not enough to cover hundreds of articles, so I am a little worried that we may accidentally violate those provisions that are different from the laws and regulations we have here."
In that case, it is really a bit unjust for the party who has been punished. ”
Wei Minsheng said: "In fact, most of those laws have been amended from Chinese laws, but those provisions that have no practical operation have been removed.
There is no operable law, in fact, it is just a piece of waste paper.
The existence of such a clause is easy to bring trouble to ordinary people and make them at a loss.
Therefore, the legal provisions we stipulate must conform to the principle that all actions of any person should not harm the legitimate rights of others as the bottom line.
Prior to the establishment of the SAR Government, the Dawning Group, which I created as the interim administrator of the Tuvalu Special Administrative Region, was responsible for the management of all social affairs. ”
"Dawning Group?"
"Yes, I hope they can shine the light of hope in every corner of the SAR.
Therefore, the city that is being built, I named it the City of Hope, because it carries the hope of all Chinese people. ”
Li Wei thought for a while and said, "If your Shuguang Group is only a temporary manager, how will their power be transferred after the establishment of the SAR government in the future?" ”
"Actually, I am the sole person in charge of the SAR because the treaty with Tuvalu has made this relationship clear.
However, I can't participate in the management of the SAR at any time, so I can only designate the Shuguang Group under my name to manage it.
No matter which way the SAR government is formed in the future, the representatives of the Shuguang Group can have absolute veto power over any decision of the SAR government under my entrustment.
In other words, the HKSAR Government can only make changes to existing policies with my authorization. ”
"You seem to be a bit dictatorial when you say that, right?
Under such circumstances, the relationship between the SAR government and the Sugon Group is a bit complicated.
From the perspective of the operational structure, the SAR government is more like a subordinate department of the Sugon Group, and it is responsible for everything to the Sugon Group. ”
"There is no way to do it, because Tuvalu does not recognize the existence of the SAR government, they only recognize my ownership and management of the SAR.
Of course, whether the SAR government can break through the restrictions of this treaty in the future depends on how much influence the SAR can exert on Tuvalu in the future.
In my current plan, when the SAR has a certain size, I will gradually bring in some Tuvaluans to work and live in the SAR.
And with the abundant supplies provided to Tuvalu, it will try to win some seats in parliament.
Only after Tuvalu is fully integrated into the SAR can the SAR Government truly enjoy the power to determine the direction of a country's development. ”
