Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 240 240. It turns out that the inheritance tax is so high!
Dong Qiangqiang first went to other departments of the tax bureau to inquire about the company's tax payment. When he came back to find Tong Lele, he found that she had just walked into the estate tax consultation and payment office.

"So you mean, this money is tax-free?" Tong Lele opened her mouth in shock after hearing the female tax collector's explanation.

"The money you get belongs to the inheritance gift, and it belongs to the 'others' item in the 'beneficiary category' of the inheritance tax, so your tax-free amount is 4 marks, and the money that exceeds 4 marks needs to be taxed." One A young female tax collector wearing glasses looked at Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele and said gently.

"I'm sorry I didn't understand." Dong Qiangqiang suddenly stopped the female tax collector and continued, "You just said that our tax exemption is 4 marks?"

"Yes."

"But there are three of us, and after the three of us share the money equally, each person is only more than 2 marks, which is far from 4 marks. Why do we have to pay taxes?" Dong Qiangqiang wondered, "Don't we (the money) Should all be tax-free?"

"You understand incorrectly, according to what is stated in the confirmation letter for distribution of the amount," the female tax collector pushed the confirmation letter in front of Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele, "This money belongs to the three of you jointly, as for how you distribute (money) It is your right, the tax bureau will not interfere, we only pay attention to your total tax payable. Now the total amount of this money exceeds 4, so the excess part must be taxed, there is no doubt about it.”

"But there are three of us..." Dong Qiangqiang emphasized again.

The female tax collector showed a businesslike and helpless expression.

Dong Qiangqiang said depressedly: "If we had known this, we would have asked the judge to give us an equal share in the court before filing our tax return."

But complaints are complaints after all, and can't solve any problems.

"How much tax should we pay?" Tong Lele was relatively calm.

"The total amount of money is less than 15 marks, so the tax rate you have to bear is, let me take a look..." The female tax collector's fingers moved quickly on a form, "Well, 30%."

"How much?" Dong Qiangqiang shouted, "30%?"

The shout was a bit loud, and a German man with white beard and hair in the office next door immediately turned his head to look at him, frowned and said displeasedly: "Speak softly!"

Tong Lele touched Dong Qiangqiang's arm and signaled him to restrain his emotions. Dong Qiangqiang lowered his head in embarrassment and asked in a low voice, "Did you read it wrong?"

"It can't be wrong. You have no blood relationship with the deceased and the heirs, so the inheritance tax rate you have to pay is the highest among the three types of heirs."

"Then how should we declare the money after we get it?" Tong Lele asked while taking out his notebook.

The female tax collector handed her a form and pointed: "This line fills in the basic information of the declarer, that is, the names, ID numbers, telephone numbers, and addresses of the three of you. This line fills in the amount of tax declaration. Remember What you need to fill in here is the total amount of money you received from the court minus 4. The result obtained by multiplying this number by 30% is filled in this blank, which is the actual tax you have to pay. Then this line Leave your bank account so that we can transfer the money directly. This last line needs everyone’s signature. Fill it out and give it to me.”

"How long can we get the money?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.

"It will take 3 days if the materials are complete, or 1-2 weeks if it is slower." The female tax collector said patiently, "It is best to check the materials before submitting them."

"Okay, thank you." Tong Lele bowed, and hurriedly pulled Dong Qiangqiang out of the gate of the tax bureau.

"Why were you shouting so loudly just now?" Tong Lele complained, "It's not her who sets the tax."

"The main reason is that I didn't expect the tax of Germans to be so high." Dong Qiangqiang looked resentful, "Usually we only pay 17% tax when we buy groceries in supermarkets."

"Can it be the same?" Tong Lele said angrily, "That's value-added tax. This is inheritance tax."

"Then fill out the form when you receive the money." Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Do you need me to sign now?"

"You can sign now." Tong Lele said and handed the form to Dong Qiangqiang, "By the way, what are you going to do with the foreign currency other than Mark?"

"Didn't Lei Lanting also say that? All foreign currencies will be exchanged for marks, and we don't need money from other countries. And I read in the newspaper that starting from January [-] next year, all countries in the euro zone will use the euro as their official currency." , it’s safer for us to switch to Mark first.”

"Well, I'll tell you as soon as I receive the money this afternoon." Tong Lele put the form in her bag.

Li Junfeng thought that Shang Cambridge's sudden change of mind was due to greed for money, but the reason why Shang Cambridge pretended to be confused was mainly because of two things.

First, the university is still a public place after all, and Shang Cambridge is worried that talking about money in public is easy to be heard behind the wall.

Second, Li Junfeng opened his mouth wide and asked for 1800 marks.If it hadn't been for the conversation with him last night, Shang Cambridge would have thought that the other party was here to blackmail him.

Shang Cambridge sat in the lecture theater, looking at the beaming professor on the podium while copying the densely packed blackboard writing, but he wondered why Li Junfeng's numbers were so exaggerated.

The total amount of money in Yu Jianghai's bag last night was 823 marks. Shang Cambridge didn't know how Li Junfeng's 1800 marks were calculated.

He couldn't help regretting that he didn't count Yu Jianghai's money in front of Li Junfeng last night before dividing it up. Now he can only be a dumb man eating coptis.According to Li Junfeng's one-half logic, it means that Li Junfeng believed that Yu Jianghai should have 3600 marks on him last night.

Shang Cambridge thought about it for most of the class before he realized that no one knew the exact amount of the money except Yu Jianghai and him.Li Junfeng must have heard from Yu Jianghai last night that he lost 3600 marks, so he rushed to the school early in the morning to ask him for money.

While lamenting that Li Junfeng was too stupid, Shang Jianjian lamented that Yu Jianghai is really an old fox. When he lost money, he didn't think of calling the police first but alienating him, which is really hateful.

If he told Li Junfeng just now: Yu Jianghai only had 823 marks on him last night, and he could give Li Junfeng 412 marks if he was half of each person.It is estimated that Li Junfeng will not believe his words, and if he does not, he will turn his face on the spot.

So Shang Cambridge didn't complain for the first time, but thought about how to make it clear to Li Junfeng.

He knows that money is always a double-edged sword.After dealing with it, Li Junfeng is a friend.If you don't handle it well, you will definitely have troubles in the future.

On the other hand, Yu Jianghai looked ugly, but he didn't expect him to be a scumbag. I really couldn't underestimate him.

At 15:32 in the afternoon, Tong Lele's bank account received a transfer.

Tong Lele immediately converted all foreign currencies into marks according to the exchange rate. After the exchange, there were a total of 68048.37 marks in the account.According to the requirements of the female tax collector, the total tax declaration is 28048.37 marks, and the actual tax paid is 8414.51 marks.

According to Lei Lanting's request, Tong Lele divided the money into three equal parts.Since Lei Lanting insisted on filing taxes by himself, Tong Lele directly transferred his share to him.Dong Qiangqiang chose to file taxes with Tong Lele.

Tong Lele immediately submitted the tax return signed by her and Dong Qiangqiang to the Hannover City Taxation Bureau, and the rest was to wait for the other party to transfer money from her account.

The moment Tong Lele handed over the declaration form, Tong Lele was relieved.
