Chen Yuan gave an example: "For example, inheritance tax is actually a kind of income tax, which is also used to regulate income. But in my opinion, these inheritances have already been taxed before before they can eventually become his personal legal property and be bequeathed to his family. So why do we have to tax these inheritances one more time? Since the deceased had already paid taxes during his lifetime, he had already made contributions. And he can afford to leave some property to his family, so we should let this property go to his family. He can keep growing up in a capable family, there is nothing to be jealous of, that is the ability of others, and his obligations have been fulfilled. Without the ability, even the greatest inheritance will be spent one day. If we had been taxed on the inheritance he had received, would we have paid it back at this time? Since it is in the name of adjustment, is he going to transfer back now that he is in difficulty? ”

"As for corporate income tax. As I said before, no matter this tax, that tax is ultimately paid by the consumer, so why should it be paid twice. Businesses are also made up of people, and people are the ones who spend money in the end. We just need to control how much of the money earned by the enterprise is distributed to people, and control the personal income tax of people. ”

"In addition, in order to facilitate future transactions and avoid tax evasion, the settlements will no longer issue physical currency in the future, and all payments will be made by electronic money, so as to facilitate supervision and statistics." As soon as Chen Yuan made the final decision, he set the overall idea of the future tax and monetary supervision of the settlement.

"How much do you have to collect taxes?" Fat Zhang asked. Everyone also looked at Chen Yuan.

"I've probably set an amount, let's discuss it together." Chen Yuan took out a piece of paper, wrote the names of the three taxes on it, and wrote a number next to it, and then said to everyone while thinking: "The tariff will be set at 5% first." Consumption tax, luxury goods heavy tax 50%, general consumption tax 15%, guaranteed consumption is not taxed, what is luxury, what is general consumer goods, what is guaranteed consumer goods, you will find some people to decide. ”

"Good!" Fat Zhang nodded.

Chen Yuan continued: "Income tax, because it is the end of the world, population changes may be more frequent, so the tax is collected on a weekly basis, and wages and salaries are also paid on a weekly basis. Household income tax is levied on the basis of the per capita income of the family. More than 280 contribution points per person per week. 5% for 281-350, 8% for 351-420, 15% for 421-560, and 25% for all 561 and above. Chen Yuan asked, "Let's discuss it." At the same time, Chen Yuan handed the paper to the secretary in the conference room and asked him to project the data onto the screen.

And the conference room immediately began to exchange heads.

"I think ......"

Eventually, after a heated discussion, the plan for the levy of the tax was decided. Tariffs have been adjusted, and they are also divided into different grades to be taxed. Luxury goods are also heavily taxed at 30 percent, general consumer goods are taxed at 10 percent, and protective consumer goods are subject to an 8 percent tariff. Overall, it's all improved. But it is also to encourage the collection of consumer goods. If you don't, you're likely to pick up the highest-value collection. As a result, there is a lack of consumer goods in the settlement.

Others remain unchanged for the time being. In fact, everyone knows that it is not appropriate to set the tax rate so hastily, and at least we should find a few economists to study it systematically. However, the last days do not wait for anyone, and if you adjust a tax as in the past, it will take several years to study, which is not at all in line with the actual situation of the present.

Now there is a waste to be rebuilt, everything should have a standard first, as for whether this standard is applicable or not, you can slowly adjust it in actual use. If you collect more, you will lower it a little, and if you collect less, you will increase it. The criterion is whether the living standards of residents can be steadily improved.

"Let's move on to the fee." The tax is set, of course, there is a fee, and the tax and fee are naturally both, but Chen Yuan said: "I will first set a principle, that is, the administrative department does not charge for labor." The lack of distinction between taxes and fees is the root cause of the excessive collection of taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Even if the tax is collected, it is not possible to charge for the service. Only when consumables are needed to do things, you need to be charged, which is to prevent waste. However, it must be charged according to the purchase price of consumables, and the administrative unit itself cannot have a profit. And the real for-profit fee must be the enterprise. For example, water charges, electricity charges, heating fees, cleaning fees, road and bridge fees, etc., are determined by the relevant enterprises according to their own costs and reported to the council for approval and release. ”

Everyone nodded, and on this point, no one objected. Then Chen Yuan said: "The other is the problem of housing. It's no better than the south, there is no warm housing, and people will die in winter. Therefore, housing, as a guarantee for people's livelihood, must be considered in the same important position as food. Differentiation can be allowed, you can live in a big house if you have the ability, and you can live in a bunk if you have the income. But the house can no longer be hyped as in the past, at least to ensure that all who are willing to work can afford to live in the house, and the quality of life must gradually improve, so that everyone can have hope. ”

To be honest, many of you here couldn't afford to buy a house before the end of the world, or were trying to pay off a high mortgage, and when they heard Chen Yuan's words, they couldn't stop nodding in agreement.

Chen Yuan continued: "In the future, a 'Steel Fort Real Estate Development Company' will be established in the settlement, which will specialize in real estate development, sales and leasing business. As a publicly-owned real estate development company, it needs to play a role in suppressing housing prices and rents. Provide more affordable housing and low-rent housing. ”

Zhang Fatzi said: "So allow privately owned real estate development enterprises to exist? How is land calculated? If the auction continues as it has been in the past, the price of the house will not be controlled. ”

Chen Yuan replied: "Private real estate development enterprises can be allowed to exist. Settlements are allowed except for military industries, which are not allowed to have private ownership. They can develop affordable housing as well as high-end housing. Only adequate competition will lead to survival of the fittest. ”

"As for the land, I don't think the auction price of the land is actually the root cause of the high house prices." Chen Yuan explained: "The real root cause is property speculation. It has always been because of the high housing prices that the price of land will be raised. If the price of the house is very low, the price of the land will not be much higher even if it is auctioned. ”

Zhang Fatzi asked: "Then how to control the housing price?" Property tax? ”

Chen Yuan thought about it and shook his head and said, "It's still consumption tax." There is no GST on the price and rent of affordable housing. The price and rent of general housing are subject to 15% GST. Prices and rents for high-end residences plus 50% GST. In addition, the consumption tax on the purchase of a second home remains unchanged. But when you buy a third home, the GST doubles. The excise tax on the third affordable housing is increased to 15%. The third home doubled again. When you buy the fourth and fifth houses, the price is several times the original, while others buy a house very cheaply, and these multiple properties naturally lose their investment value. It is even more unlikely that there will be dozens or hundreds of houses per person. ”

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but swallow their saliva, thinking that this was a little too ruthless.

Zhang Fatzi said: "I think this is a bit troublesome, and there may be loopholes." For example, I can buy a house of more than 200 square meters and divide it into several units. When I bought it, I only counted 1 set. It is best to calculate it on the basis of the average square meter per household. A real estate tax is added on top of the consumption tax. No matter how many houses you buy, but if you exceed 30 square meters per capita, you will start to collect taxes, and you will pay them every month. The more you exceed, the higher the percentage of tax you will collect, so there will be no loopholes. Everyone dares to hold a large number of properties. ”

Chen Yuan touched his chin and thought about it, nodded in agreement: "In this way, your real estate tax is indeed better." Although he had just said that he didn't need any other taxes, he could immediately agree to the good proposal without blushing.

So he took back the piece of paper from the secretary of the meeting, and said while adding a line to it: "Then on the basis of the consumption tax levied by grade, add another property tax." Within 30 square meters per capita is considered normal residence and is not taxed. 31-40 per month 0.8% of the original price per square meter is real estate tax. 41% per month for 50-1. 51-60 is levied at 1.5% per month. More than 61 people are taxed at 3% per month. ”

There was no opposition, and the proposal for a real estate tax was passed.

Chen Shuyuan asked, "Then these existing residents also want to start collecting rent?" ”

"Close!" Chen Yuan said: "It will be collected from next week. However, public employees and employees of publicly-owned enterprises may be granted housing subsidies according to their ranks. In this way, people with extra income do not have to live in a house with a unified arrangement, they can also choose a better house according to their family's conditions, or save some money to live in a worse house. In short, we are under the control of public officials and employees of public-owned enterprises. However, for those who came later, they were reluctant to accept the work assigned to them in the settlement. You have to find a way to pay the rent yourself. Settlements do not support idlers. ”

Everyone nodded, and the proposal was also passed. Finally, Chen Yuan asked about the news from the north, and he asked, "Jiao Yongyan has any news from them?" ”

"Yes." Xu Kai said: "I received news from them at noon, and at present, they have found the fifth possible location, but the arsenal has not been found yet. Heading to the sixth possible area for an arsenal. ”

"I haven't found it yet!" Zhang Fatzi frowned and said: "We have already found 5, and there are only 12 areas where the arsenal we have marked is likely to be located." You won't be able to find it in the end, will you? ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, aren't there still 7 places left." In such a large area, there is only one arsenal, and any place is possible, and it needs to be the next one. It's possible that you won't find it until the last place. Anyway, just wait, I'm sure you'll find it. Chen Yuan was very confident, and at the same time asked, "Is there any other news?" ”

"Yes. They also reported that they had a clash with a local survivor force today! ”

"What!" Chen Yuan immediately asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" What about casualties? ”
