Chapter 0204 Tax Haven
"There are endless troubles after hasty action, and I can't eat hot tofu in my heart." Wang Jialian sat back in her chair and sighed, "The Ministry of Justice was too hasty in the Weiwei incident, so that relevant testimony leaked out, which will put us in a disadvantageous position in the prosecution of Antao." In addition, Antao's defense lawyer may argue that Antao's actions were bewitched by lawyers and threats. โ
"Oh?" Luo Wenqian already felt that this might be the most difficult case she faced.
"This is Antao's financial report for the first three quarters." Wang Jialian pressed the holographic projection on her wrist, and a detailed report instantly appeared above Luo Wenqian's desk.
"According to the report, Antao's turnover in the first three quarters of this year reached a staggering 124 billion grams, which is far more than we can estimate in terms of revenue."
"How?" Luo Wenqian asked without raising her head, of course she was asking An Dao how much water was in these numbers.
"Energy Trade Contracts." Wang Jialian spit out these words.
"What?" Luo Wenqian raised her head in confusion.
"The purpose of the parties is to make a profit from future market price changes." Wang Jialian began to explain the most popular way to trade short positions at the moment.
"The buyers and sellers of energy trading contracts are not necessarily energy companies, in fact, many of Aher's most famous investment banks are signatories to these contracts."
"They're speculating on contracts? Futures? Luo Wenqian tried to guess.
"It's about the same, let me give you an analogy." Wang Jialian said with a smile, "If an energy contract worth 1 million Gelang takes effect in half a year, if an Aihaier company sells this contract, it will not have any impact on the operating income on the books." โ
"Hmm!" Luo Wenqian listened attentively.
But in practice, the company regularly compares the contract with the current market value to see how much money it has made or lost. This is reflected in the company's income statement as a trading profit or loss. Wang Jialian clicked on the "trade profit and loss" column on the table, signaling Luo Wenqian to pay attention to the numbers in this column.
"According to the current financial strength method, such income is considered to be an increase in the company's earnings. In accounting practice, such a practice is known as reporting net worth. Wang Jialian continued.
"But five centuries ago, many energy trading companies began to adopt some radical accounting practices and began to report the gross value of contracts. This means that the face value of the 1,000,000 Gram contract mentioned above is directly recorded as operating income. โ
"Antao is the initiator?" Luo Wenqian began to understand.
"These companies will charge about the same value of energy to offset their operating income, so that the energy trading company ends up with a profit similar to what Elhair's company calculated." Wang Jialian shook her head and coldly tapped the numbers on the form, "The only difference is that Aihaier's company does not record the face value of one million Grรคng of the contract as operating income, but the energy trading company really has such an extra turnover in its account." โ
"Hmmm! That's it! Luo Wenqian began to point to the rows of huge numbers on the table with her hand, that is, the origin of why there is so much operating income.
"There's one more thing you'll be even more surprised to hear!" Wang Jialian said solemnly.
"What's the matter?" Luo Wenqian asked.
"Antao has not paid a penny of income tax to the federal government of Mada for four years, and in the past five years, Antao's financial statements have not reflected serious losses, but have been making substantial profits." Wang Jialian said coldly.
"Tax evasion?" Luo Wenqian's mouth gently spit out two words.
"If you say that, their lawyer won't agree." Wang Jialian sneered. "They will say that Antao is reasonably avoiding taxes."
Wang Jialian took out another piece of paper and handed it to Luo Wenqian.
"What is this?" Luo Wenqian looked at the dozens of country names densely packed on it.
"A tax haven, of course." Wang Jialian replied, "This is a special government blacklist issued this year, and all countries and regions on this piece of paper have no secret saying that they want to provide tax shelters for large companies in the world." โ
Luo Wenqian noticed that most of the countries in this blacklist are very small island countries on the planet Glis.
"Does this have anything to do with Antao?" Luo Wenqian raised her head.
"Antao has successfully played a game of tax evasion by taking advantage of tax havens around the world. Like many companies now, there is no way to take it, but ......," Wang Jialian said in a deep voice, "there is evidence that Antao is suspected of money laundering." โ
Luo Wenqian stared at Wang Jialian's eyes tightly.
"There is no need for any financial reporting at all to carry out money operations or money transactions in these places. Therefore, not only those who have a legitimate source of funds rush to tax havens to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance, but also those who have no legal sources of funds also regard tax havens as ideal places for money laundering. Complete money laundering activities with peace of mind. โ
Luo Wenqian thought thoughtfully, she remembered Ning Zhiyuan's expression a few days ago, and the huge wealth brought by the Ning family's painstaking operation in the past twenty years, only a few can be found now, but everyone knows that this is only a fraction of Ning Zhiyuan's property.
She looked at the big iron cabinet and sighed secretly in her heart. It seems that I have to take out those materials again and study them carefully.
In the afternoon, Wang Jialian raised her hand to look at her watch, and was surprised to find that the hour hand had almost pointed to five o'clock, and they chatted for hours.
Luo Wenqian also looked at the watch and came to the same conclusion, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Find a place to have dinner!" Wang Jialian suggested.
Of course, Luo Wenqian has no opinion. She didn't have a date today, and Vincent must be working overtime again today.
Planet Grims is really weird, it happened at the same time, but everyone still thinks it's two times. So when Luo Wenqian and Wang Jialian finished talking about how to investigate the shocking case and walked out of the office building together, Kundu on the other side of the planet happened to be six o'clock in the morning, and Moral, who got up early, was generously shining on this beautiful city.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Kundu low-altitude shuttle port.
A passenger shuttle is standing on the connection with its head held high, which is one of the ten low-altitude shuttles that Kunhang spent three billion years ago to see three billion grams, the low-altitude shuttle uses the most advanced ion engine, strong horsepower, suitable for long-distance flight, and Kunhang intends to use this batch of low-altitude shuttles to achieve cross-planet ultra-long-distance flights within five years.
Therefore, at present, direct flights only need to fly for more than ten hours to reach Yarman low-altitude shuttle port, which is more than three hours less than the current route from Kundu to Yarman via Zion.
But Xia Chenghao's flight today had to transfer from Central Zion. (To be continued.) )
