Golden Fishery

  Brandon is the oldest of the four. He didn't show too much when dealing with Shen Bao in the past. Anyway, he was responsible for the conversion of funds and tax payment, and he never had a problem.

  But this time he showed the demeanor of a big brother: "It is not difficult to process gold ore. Isn't it a thousand tons of crudely extracted gold mine? Listen to my thoughts, I have considered it for a long time."

The three of them looked at him, and he paused and said: "It's not very reliable to salvage a thousand tons of gold ore from a ship. We can expand and find a fleet that sank in the North Atlantic! And we want to open up. With this news, several tons and dozens of tons of ore will be dropped at that time to allow more salvage companies to enter."

  Qin Shiou shrugged: "Why? This is also millions of dollars, isn't it?"

   "Expand the beneficiary population, increase the credibility of this matter, and reduce our risk of being investigated." Brandon said.

  The three nodded to express their understanding. Brandon continued: “But I still want to deal with it in the United States. Why come to Canada? Canadian taxes are terrible. Don’t deal with funds here.”

  Canada has always been called the “country of ten thousand taxes”. Their tax system is very complicated, and it is difficult to use a single figure to describe how much tax people pay.

   But there is a simple and rude way to judge, that is, there is a convention in Canada called "Tax Freedom Day", this festival is also the most hated by the people.

  As the name suggests, everyone’s income will be free after Tax Freedom Day, and the money earned after this day is their own, and before this day. Most people have to pay taxes for the money they earn, and the money earned after this day can go into their pockets.

  This year’s Tax Freedom Day is June 8, which means that Canadians earned money before that day. All the money is just enough to pay taxes for this year.

  Of course, this festival is only for ordinary working-class people. For top rich people like Qin Shiou and those homeless people, this thing is useless.

  But from this we can see how terrible Canadian taxes are. Foreigners only see the benefits of this country, and then immigrate one after another. When the immigrants come in, they will know that they are being cheated-they will pee their pants if they pay taxes.

  In addition, the famous Fraser Institute has created a comprehensive statistical method. They imitated the "Consumer Price Index" of the Statistics Bureau's Statistical Price Index and created a "Canada Consumer Tax Index."

  Canada has a wide variety of taxes, including various taxes and fees to the federal, provincial and local governments. Such as income tax, payroll tax, health tax, business tax, real estate tax, fuel tax, vehicle tax, import tax, tobacco and alcohol tax, etc.

After adding all these taxes and fees, the total tax of Canadian households last year was 33,272 Canadian dollars, accounting for 42.1% of the average Canadian household income of 79,010 Canadian dollars. According to the research of the Fraser Institute, this can be ranked in the world. Top ten.

   There are some countries that are even more powerful, such as Sweden’s index of 56.6% and Denmark’s 55%. Aruba is 59%. Of course, the gap between the rich and the poor in these countries is the smallest, and the national welfare is the best.

Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone, "click it, click it" for a while, and sighed, "Madan, I always thought I was going to double my assets this time to become a rich man, but I don’t have much in my hands, right? At least 50%. Even if I can get 200 million in taxes, I still have to pay 100 million in taxes?!"

  Speaking, he became puzzled: "There wasn't that much in the past, right?"

  They have auctioned many artworks, and Qin Shiou had counted them before. He pays less than 20% of the tax each time. Never less than 50%.

Brandon said: "Yes, there were not so many in the past. I used to use leather bag companies for tax avoidance. You have to know that there are many places in the world where taxes are relatively low, such as Macau. As long as 12%, even if you add up and down. Money. It's not half of 50%."

  "But if you bring gold ore to Canada for processing, then you want to avoid taxation overseas. Canada's tax laws are much stricter than those in the United States, especially when it comes to overseas tax collection. Fack, it's just amazing!"

  In this discussion, Qin Shiou and Billy were dumbfounded. It seems that it is more cost-effective to process this batch of gold ore in the United States. Half of the tax payment is too high.

  "Is that still going on in the United States?" Qin Shiou asked with a sigh, really sad, "I am worried that Washington will directly send the navy to secretly **** it after receiving news of our gold ore."

  According to the internationally accepted "Discovery Law", if they want to salvage this batch of gold ore and bring it to the United States, they must first issue a notice through the media at the beginning of the discovery.

The "Law of Discovery" is an international fishing law that has been in force for more than half a century. At the beginning of its creation, this law was not used to protect sunken ship treasures and the like, but was used for whales, fish catches, etc. that have never been owned. Property.

Later, with the emergence of the international marine salvage fever, the "Law of Discovery" was gradually applied to shipwrecks. Lawyers believed that because of the age, the shipwreck meant that the ship was abandoned by the original owner. Like the catch, there is no owner. .

For shipwreck salvage companies, the "Law of Discovery" is a good thing. It is simply interpreted as "whoever finds it," so now many ships salvaged in international waters are almost in accordance with this practice. Whoever finds the location of the shipwreck and salvages it Whoever comes out.

  So, under normal circumstances, it’s okay to issue a notice. Whoever finds it and salvages it, it is protected by international law. Ordinary salvagers are not capable of looting, even if relevant news is reported.

  However, the US government has this capability. What if they get the news and stop them?

  After Qin Shiou expressed his concern, Brandon and Little Black shook their heads and said: "You have filtered, don't worry about this, only ten tons of gold, it's not worth the US government's action."

  Billy also nodded and said, “Yes, don’t worry about this. The US government is not so dark yet.”

  Qin Shiou looked at him and said, "Why did you agree with me to deal with ore in Canada before then?"

Billy lamented: "The two of us don’t think about the same thing. You don’t usually pay attention to the news in this area and don’t know the situation-damn Washington not only enacted the "Abandoned Shipwreck Law", they also want to cancel the international The general "Law of Discovery" adopts the "UNESCO Draft Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage."

  "What the **** is this?" Qin Shiou really didn't pay attention to the news in this regard. Little Blake had heard about it, but he didn't take it seriously. As for Brandon? He is now talking about love all day, so naturally he doesn't understand it. (To be continued~^~)
