Taxation is a rather large concept and includes many types. However, in Liu Hong's view, the main ones are agricultural tax and commercial tax. Nothing else is important, and Liu Hong doesn't plan to keep it.

Although it is mainly agricultural taxes that affect immigration. But this time, Liu Hong didn't plan to change it first. It only makes sense to do this thing together with land reform, so Liu Hong has to change the agricultural tax when he is resettled. And this time, he will reform the business tax first and see how it reacts.

However, no matter what tax is changed, the current labor system must not be retained, and it must be abolished first.

This labor system, speaking of which, can save a lot of costs for the imperial court. But in Liu Hong's view, this system seriously violates the will of the people. There are a large number of contradictions between the court and the people, which is completely a booster for changing the dynasty. Compared to the little money it saves, it definitely outweighs the loss.

Besides, no matter how much money is left in the imperial court, it has nothing to do with him now. He risked losing his country and went to save money for the imperial court, wouldn't he be a fool.

The abolition of labor service is definitely a popular project. Liu Hong believes that as long as this policy is implemented, he will definitely be able to win a large number of popular support.

Compared with the simple abolition of the labor system, the reform of the commercial tax is much more complicated.

Business, Liu Hong has not learned this thing specifically. Since I don't know how it is divided, I can only roughly divide it into two types: ordinary business and special business.

Although the state treasury is now seriously short of money, Liu Hong's tax reform is still based on the premise of reducing taxes and reducing the burden on the people. Although in this way, the tax revenue may be reduced upfront, but after the business is developed, its benefits will be revealed. Temporary difficulties can only be overcome by other means.

Since it is necessary to reduce the burden on the people, Liu Hong decided to abolish all miscellaneous taxes on commerce, and only charge 15 percent of the consumption tax for ordinary commercial taxes. If import and export are involved, unless there are special provisions, an additional 20% tariff will be added.

But here, luxury is an exception. The people it operates are those who are rich, and ordinary people absolutely cannot afford it. Since it does not involve ordinary people, and extravagance is not worth encouraging. Therefore, Liu Hong imposed heavy taxes on them, starting from 30 percent and going all the way up to 200 percent.

Special industries are more complex, and Liu Hong also roughly divides them into two parts. Part of it is the armed forces industry such as security companies and mercenaries. The other part is the special industry such as casinos and brothels.

In industries such as mercenaries, it is not easy to work hard to make money. So their tax rate, like the ordinary business tax, is 15 percent.

However, casinos and brothels are different. They are low-risk and quick to make money. More or less, it is also a little harmful to the people. Therefore, their tax rates start at 50 percent, and can go up to 100 percent, depending on the situation.

Special industries are different from ordinary industries and need to be strictly controlled. Therefore, Liu Hong withdrew the local approval power.

However, in order to facilitate operators, the imperial court has set up a certain number of special business licenses for various industries in the local area according to the actual situation in various places. If this amount does not meet the local requirements, it is necessary for the House of Representatives to apply to Congress. The National Assembly votes through the survey, and if it is really needed, it will be submitted to the Council for approval before it can be increased.

Of course, the reform of the official system has not yet begun, so we can only freeze the approval of special industries and wait for the completion of the official reform before starting.

Special industries have a certain threat to society, so they have quite high requirements for their operators. This is not an industry that anyone can do if they want to, and they must pass layers of review in order to get a special industry business license. In addition, it is not enough to have a license, and you must pay a deposit equal to the amount of investment before you can start business.

Due to the peculiarities of the casino, it is possible to lend money in the course of operation, which is allowed. But before that, you must file with the imperial court and pay a deposit. The total amount of the loan cannot exceed 3 times of the margin, and the interest cannot exceed 5 times the bank interest rate for the same period.

It is illegal to lend money without obtaining the formalities. The consequences are very serious, and the license of the special industry will be cancelled at the least, and the boss will even be arrested and imprisoned.

Prostitute. Liu Hong thinks that this thing is a must. But he thinks that let the women of his clan sell. The body is very unnecessary.

He felt that since he had traveled to the Han Dynasty. It is necessary to help the people of the Han Dynasty to establish their due national pride. Let people feel that the people of the Han Dynasty are inherently superior. Even if it's a prostitute. Female, also with foreign prostitutes. Woman. Different. At the very least, a woman from a big man must have the necessary self-esteem, and she can make money, but she can't have no bottom line.

And the common people need to solve the physiological problems, and the women of the foreign race can solve them. There is no need at all, you have to harm the women of your own people.

As for the fear that you won't be able to make money like this, it's completely unnecessary. Liu Hong opened so many brothels, most of the women did not sell them. body, it's not the same every day.

So Liu Hong will be a prostitute. The hospital is for sale. Body and not for sale. There are two kinds of body.

Selling art is not selling. The body of the prostitute. The courtyard is innocent, and Liu Hong named it Qinglou. This kind of prostitute. The institute needs to be encouraged, so it is a special industry tax, reduced to 20 percent.

In order to distinguish it from the green building, sell. The body of the prostitute. The courtyard is known as the Red House, and there are no restrictions on its operation. But the woman of the big man is not allowed to sell. Body, sell. It can only be a foreign woman. If the operator forces the woman of the big man to sell. The punishment is quite severe, and there is even the possibility of being sentenced to death.

Speaking of special industries, Liu Hong thought of the gambling city of later generations. Whether it is Macau or Las Vegas, it used to be called a barren land. But after they vigorously developed the entertainment industry, they immediately took off, and the prosperity was definitely among the best in the world.

This touched Liu Hong a lot, and the Han can now be said to be in ruins. He felt that it was also necessary for Dahan to get a few places as a special zone like the casino in later generations. Build casinos and prostitutes there. There are no restrictions, and they are also exempt from special industry taxes, so that they can develop as soon as possible in order to drive the surrounding area.

However, it is not the hereafter now, and the traffic conditions are too different from the hereafter. Therefore, in establishing a special zone, it is necessary to consider whether the transportation is convenient. If you go to the Special Economic Zone, you need to travel for half a month, and no matter how good the Special Economic Zone is, not many people will go there.

Therefore, after much consideration, Liu Hong chose several locations as the first batch of special zones, including the city he himself built outside the Guan. He wants to see how the effect is, and if the effect is good, Liu Hong doesn't care about building a few more special zones.
