Chapter 237 Collecting Taxes

When Ah Hua heard this, he also carefully put away the business certificate.

Twenty wen is not a small amount for him.

Ah Hua doesn't want to spend twenty dollars in vain!

Seeing that Ah Hua had put away the business license, the staff on the side also told Ah Hua: "With this business license, you can carry out business activities in all the state capitals of Daming." ”

"But remember, if you don't pay the business tax on time, the business license will be revoked."

"Once this business license is revoked, it will be difficult to do it again!"

What? Revoked?

Ah Hua was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled the household staff on the side and asked, "How should this commercial tax be paid?" ”

When the staff heard this, they also patiently explained to Ah Hua: "This tax payment is the same as the commercial tax you paid before." ”

"As long as you go to the yamen where your household post is located, and then give this business certificate to the people in the yamen, the people in the yamen will automatically help you do it."

"This commercial tax is now tentatively scheduled to be paid once a month on the first day of the month."

"Now in the first year, due to the lack of manpower in the yamen, you need to fill in your own sales."

"But don't use your crooked brains and fill in less of the transaction amount!"

"If the government finds out that you deliberately underreported the transaction amount, the government has the right to revoke your business license."

"At that time, you will have to pay a large sum of money again before you have the opportunity to re-apply for the business certificate!"

This is also Hu Changan's helpless move.

When commercial taxes were first collected, there were really not so many officials in the household department to collect taxes.

There are thousands of merchants in this heavenly city, and if they check the taxes one by one, the people in the household department will not be exhausted to death.

As a result, Hu Changan had to retreat to the second.

In the first year, let these small merchants self-declare their sales.

When the manpower is sufficient, we will slowly start to verify the sales reported by these small merchants.

Anyway, these small merchants don't have much sales, so it's not a big problem for them to escape a little bit of business tax.

It is better to be able to collect a little business tax than not to be able to collect anything before.

Ah Hua was also shocked when he heard this.

He didn't want to have his license revoked and pay a hefty fine!

The next day was the first day of the new year.

On this day, Ah Hua came to the county office where his household registration was located on time to prepare to pay the business tax.

At this time, many people were already surrounded at the gate of the county government.

Upon inquiry, these people came to pay the business tax.

At present, the commercial tax has just been implemented, and no one wants to be the first to be the one who does not pay the commercial tax.

Ah Hua stood in the crowd, silently lining up.

Soon, it was Ah Hua's turn to pay his taxes.

When the staff saw Ah Hua, they also asked formulaically: "What is your sales this month?" ”

When Ah Hua heard this, he also replied honestly: "I have sold about three taels of silver this month. ”

Standing in place, Ah Hua waited uneasily for the staff's trial.

According to the grapevine, the business tax has risen a lot this time!

The amount of money Ah Hua earns is enough just to make ends meet.

If the business tax rises again, then Ah Huake will not be able to afford the life of a family.

Fortunately, the staff quickly replied to Ah Hua: "Then you can pay 100 cultural and commercial taxes this month." ”

When Ah Hua heard this, he was also greatly relieved.

100 copper coins, which is a figure that Ahua can afford.

This is even a lot less than the business tax that Ah Hua paid before!

Ah Hua happily handed over the copper coin and waited for the staff to register.

In the process of waiting, Ah Hua thought about it, and finally asked the staff curiously: "This big brother, I heard the grapevine that the business tax has risen, is this true?" ”

"Why is it that not only do I pay less business tax, but I also pay less?"

When the staff member heard this, he also laughed and joked: "What, it's not good if it's less, you still want to pay more?" ”

"The tax hike is specifically for those big businessmen."

"Small merchants with monthly sales of less than ten taels of silver will be levied a uniform one-thirtieth of the commercial tax."

"Merchants with monthly sales of 10 taels of silver to 100 taels of silver are uniformly levied a uniform 1/20 of the commercial tax."

"And merchants with monthly sales of more than 100 taels of silver will be levied a one-tenth of the commercial tax."

"For you small merchants, you don't pay more business taxes."

"But for the big merchants, it's very different."

"It is said that they may only have to pay a dozen taels of silver a month, but now it is good, they have to pay a few hundred taels of silver a month!"

Ah Hua was also relieved when he heard this.

Fortunately, this policy makes no difference at all for them as small merchants.

However, this policy is very bad for those big merchants.

Wang's cloth village is the largest cloth village in Yingtian City.

Wang Qing, the proprietor, looked at the newly handed in accounts from the account room below, and his heart was dripping blood.

Originally, he only had to pay ten taels of silver a month in commercial taxes.

Now it's a good thing, he has to pay a full three hundred taels of silver to the court every month!

Although three hundred taels of silver was nothing to Wang Qing, Wang Qing was still very painful.

With these three hundred taels of silver, he can go to the Qinglou to bag a girl with a top figure.

Wang Qing thought for a while and instructed the bookkeeper: "When we pay the commercial tax later, you will say that the sales of our cloth village are one hundred taels of silver." ”

What? A hundred taels of silver?

When the bookkeeper heard this, he was stunned.

It took a long time for the account room to react, and said to Wang Qing hesitantly: "Master Wang, this is ...... I'm afraid that's not right. ”

"How can we sell only a hundred taels of silver a month for such a big cloth village?"

"This ...... No one believes it. ”

"What if the government investigates it in the future?"

"It is said that if the business license is revoked, it will be fined a lot of silver!"

However, when Wang Qing heard this, he didn't care: "What are you afraid of, I look at this official mansion, it is one today, and one tomorrow." ”

"Eighty percent of this business certificate was conceived by people in the government who patted their heads."

"If you want me to say, the policy of business certificates will not last at all."

"In that case, how about lying about your income a little bit upfront? Anyway, the government is not short of our money. ”

"What's more, the king of the household is my cousin."

"If I go and talk to Lord Wang, the officials of the household department will definitely sell me face."

"Paying a little less tax is naturally a no-brainer."

When the bookkeeper heard this, he was also a little apprehensive.

Such blatant tax evasion, if the government finds out, it will be over!

But no matter how you say it, the account room is just a small soldier after all, and it can't screw the owner Wang Qing.
