1315. Desperate Taxes

Brandon is the oldest of four. He didn't show too much when dealing with Chen Bao. Anyway, he was responsible for the conversion of funds and tax payment links, and never had any problems.

But this time he showed his big brother's demeanor: "It's not difficult to deal with gold ore. A rough extraction of one thousand tons of gold ore is not something I think about. I have been thinking about it for a long time."

The three of them looked at him and he paused and said, "It is not reliable to salvage a thousand tons of gold ore from a ship. We can expand it and find a fleet that has sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean. We will open up this news, and then throw down a few tons of ore ore and let more salvage companies enter."

Qin Shiou shrugged: "Why is this a million dollars, right?"

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

The three nodded to show their understanding. Brandon continued: "But what I think is to deal with in the United States. Why do you have to come to Canada to Canada's tax revenues are too terrible, don't deal with funds here."

Canada has always had the saying of "a country of ten thousand taxes". Their tax system is very complex and it is difficult to describe how much tax people pay with a separate number.

However, there is a simple and crude way to judge, that is, a festival in Canada called "Tax Freedom Day", which is also the most hated by the people.

As the name suggests, after the tax freedom day, everyone's income is free, and the money earned after this day is their own. Before this day, most people have to pay taxes for the money earned, and the money earned after this day can enter their own pockets.

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

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

But from this we can see how terrible the taxes in Canada are. Foreigners only see the favorable benefits of this country, and then immigrate one after another. When the immigrants come in, they will be pissed on their pants.

In addition, the famous Fraser Institute created a comprehensive statistical method. They imitated the "Consumer Product Price Index" of the Bureau of Statistics' statistical comprehensive price index and created a "Canadian Consumer Tax Index.

Canada has a wide range of taxes, including various taxes and fees handed over to 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 together, the total taxes for Canadian households combined last year was 33,272 Canadian dollars, accounting for 21 of the average Canadian household income of 791 Canadian dollars. According to the research of the Fraser Institute, this can rank among the top ten in the world.

Some countries are even more awesome, such as Sweden’s index of 566, Denmark’s index of 55, and Aruba’s 59. Of course, the gap between the rich and the poor in these countries is also the smallest, and national welfare is the best.

Qin Shiou took out his cell phone and calculated for a while. He sighed: "Madan, I always thought that I would double my assets this time and become a monetary. In fact, I don't have much money to get, right? I have at least 5 taxes. If I can get 200 million, I have to pay 100 million taxes."

As he said that, he became confused: "There weren't that many in the past."

They have auctioned artworks many times. Qin Shiou has calculated before that he paid less than 2 per tax, and no less than 5 per time.

Brandon said: "Yes, there weren't so many in the past. In the past, I used to avoid taxes with a bag company. You should know that there are many places around the world that have relatively low tax revenues, such as Macau, which only costs 12, and even if you add some money from above and below, it will not reach half of 5."

"But if gold ore is brought to Canada for processing, it is not that easy to avoid taxes overseas. Canada's tax laws are much stricter than the United States, especially overseas tax chasing, Farke, it's so awesome."

After this discussion, Qin Shiou and Billy were stunned. It seemed that it was more cost-effective to process this batch of gold ore in the United States. Half of the tax payment amount was too high.

"That's going on in the United States," Qin Shiou asked with a sigh, really sad, "I'm worried that Washington will get the news of our gold ore, and will directly send the navy to secretly rob it."

According to the internationally accepted discovery law, if they want to salvage this batch of gold ore and take it to the US land, they must first issue a notice through the media at the beginning of their discovery.

The Discovery Law is an international salvage law that has been implemented for more than half a century. This law was originally created not to protect shipwreck treasures, but to whales, fishing catches, etc., which have never been owners’ property.

Later, with the emergence of the international marine salvage fever, the discovery law was gradually applied to shipwrecks. Lawyers believe that because of the age of time, the shipwrecks meant that they were abandoned by the original owner, and like the fishing catch, there was no owner.

For shipwreck salvage companies, discovery method is a good thing. This thing is simply explained as "whoever finds the one who belongs to whom", so now, almost all ships salvaged from international waters follow this practice. Whoever finds the place of the shipwreck and salvages it will belong to whom.

Therefore, it is no problem to issue notices under normal circumstances. Whoever finds out, whoever salvages will belong to whom, is protected by international law. Ordinary salvagers are not able to rob, and it doesn’t matter if they report relevant news.

However, the US government has this ability. What if they get the news and run to intercept the silence.

After Qin Shiou expressed his concerns, Brandon and Blake Jr. shook their heads and said, "You filtered it, don't worry about this. It's just ten tons of gold, and it's not worth the US government's action."

Billy 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 what I said about coming to Canada to deal with ore?"

Billy lamented: "We two are not considering the same thing. You don't pay attention to this news. Don't know the situation. The damn Washington not only formulated the abandoned shipwreck law, but they also wanted to abolish the international discovery law and adopt the draft UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage."

"What the hell is this?" Qin Shiou really didn't pay attention to the news in this regard. Little Black heard about it a little, but he didn't take it seriously. As for Brandon, he is now talking about love all day, so he naturally doesn't understand this matter. To be continued. ~SeSuZuBattle Color, you can read the following chapters in the full text
