Chapter 477. Want to go? No problem, cash out!
How to withdraw American citizenship, it is still more difficult to consult in China in 09, it is not at all a casual legal center can be asked, you must find a well-known law firm involved in international business.
Can Liu Yifei find it?
Definitely can, and it's not bad for this money, but her identity may be a little sensitive, and the time is not so abundant.
It just so happened that this task was handed over to Liu's mother.
Speaking of which, Liu Xiaoli still has some legal connections in the United States, after all, her second husband is a lawyer, and she had to deal with lawyers for her and her daughter's green card back then.
So, on the same day, she found a lawyer friend in the United States for a brief consultation.
Sure enough, it is not as simple as Liu Yifei imagined.
First of all, you must have proof of second citizenship before you are allowed to apply.
Otherwise, if you withdraw your American nationality here, if your Chinese nationality is not approved, won't you become a black household, a stateless person?
For Liu Yifei, this is easy to do, she applies for the restoration of Chinese nationality, and after passing the approval, she will be issued a certificate of restoration of nationality, which means that the country has passed the application and recognized you to restore your nationality, but it is going through the procedure, in a sense, this certificate can also exercise part of the civil rights.
The U.S. side also acknowledges this proof.
In this way, this first step is ok.
The hardest step is the second and final step.
Aren't you going to retire, no problem, everything is free, whatever you like.
It's just that you have to repay the country for cultivating you for so many years.
What kind of free air, the row of green cards, a sentence that I am an American, the envious eyes of passers-by, etc., etc., etc., are all created by the state for you.
According to the logic of the Americans, if a person has American nationality and you are developed, it is not only the result of personal efforts, but also the special political, economic, and social environment of the United States.
In layman's terms, I took you in back then and gave you face, but now you have to leave, and you have to pay back the favor.
You don't need to eat and wash your feet, you just need to cash out.
The renunciation tax is 27.5 per cent.
Some people may feel that this tax is not very high, right?
If you add oil in China, 50% of it is tax, right?
Liu Yifei also thinks so.
She felt that this sign, more than a quarter of it was lost, it was okay, and it was not unacceptable, and then in front of Liu's mother, she began to break her fingers and began to calculate how much money she had to pay.
The more I calculated, the more confused I became, and after a while, I felt that my fingers were a little insufficient.
Liu Xiaoli was speechless, I didn't tell you what standard it should be levied, how do you calculate it.
"Don't count it, you can't figure it out."
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, obviously not giving up, "Why?" ”
"Do you know what the sign is levied?"
"Do you collect taxes, the annual income is, and it is not that you haven't filed taxes before."
If only it were that simple, you should be a charity for the IRS.
Liu Xiaoli was a little helpless, and sighed: "Silly girl, it's not calculated according to your income, you calculate it according to your current total assets, and 27.5% of the tax is paid."
Total Assets ?!!
When Liu Yifei heard this, she was a little stunned, and then she snapped her fingers again, and after a while, she looked up at her mother and complained with a hint of crying:
"Grab the money!!"
Rao is Liu Yifei, a little rich woman, this simple calculation is also a little unbearable.
Liu Xiaoli also sighed.
No way, Americans play so dirty.
Not counting your annual income, your total personal assets are not in the United States, but overseas and global.
The first is a threshold, $2 million.
The meaning of the United States is very clear, those with assets of less than $2 million are all poor ghosts.
I can't look down on it, just roll the calf yourself.
More than 2 million, we have to talk about it.
How to calculate this total asset?
In the vernacular, it means that at the moment you apply for decitizenship, all your property is sold as if it were all sold, and it is not really a sale, but a statistical sale, including the balance of all domestic and foreign banks, financial accounts such as stocks and funds, all illiquid real estate, pensions, grants, interests in various trusts, etc.
Anyway, it's just a sentence, everything that can be counted as money will be counted together for you, and then it will be collected.
"Mom, how much money do I have now?"
Liu Yifei is actually not very clear about her assets, she can only say that she knows a rough idea, she usually doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, only Liu's mother wants to praise her daughter's dowry, so she is more clear.
Liu Xiaoli thought about it, and then began to count it for Liu Yifei one by one.
"There is a high-end apartment in Los Angeles under your name, and there is also a villa in Jiangcheng, and there are 4, no, 5 commercial endorsements on you that have not expired. Then there is a little money left in the bank account, and you have a sum of money to lend to the stars as an investment in the film. All in all, there are about 20 million US dollars, or RMB140 million, and this tax is about 5 million US dollars, which is 35 million RMB. ”
If others hear that there are so many assets in their name, they will be happy to heaven.
But every time Liu Yifei heard Liu's mother say, her face was so praised, and finally she grabbed her hair directly, pouted and rolled on the sofa.
"Ah, I'm not alive~~~"
Can Liu Yifei pay this money?
It's okay to say yes, but it's hard to say it's hard.
There is definitely no cash, don't look at Liu Yifei's popularity and fame after joining the starry sky, and the business path has also flowed, but as a female star, the income is high and the expenses are also large.
Clothing, jewelry, personal team assistants, maintenance, makeup, etc., although these expenses are also borne by the star of the brokerage company, but after all, she is not the boss lady, there are so many actors under the star, it is impossible to give her too much preferential treatment, but it is a top contract, and Zhou Xun's treatment is the same as her.
Then, if you want to pay the abandonment tax in full, there is only one way, sell your property.
The first is the house, the United States, entering 09, the brokerage crisis has passed, the entire brokerage is recovering, and now selling the house, fools know that it is losing money.
It's the same in China, where house prices are growing by double digits every year, and now it's a loss to sell.
In short, no matter what you do, you have to have a big bloodletting.
But this thing can't be delayed, the more it is delayed, the more you earn, the more you pay.
"Sissi, this matter. I think you still have to discuss it with Sun Yi. Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and said warmly.
Liu Yifei pouted, her face was full of unhappiness, and she didn't know what was going on in her head at this time.
