Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2160

The criminals in Datang now can only launder their illegal income through various channels, and few people dare to spend the illicit money in an open and aboveboard manner.

And all this is not because the patrol police are so awesome, but because the tax investigators are so awesome…

And the more such a tax system is, the more hated it is. Otherwise, the tax department will not be reformed every few years, purely to quell the anger of the outside world.

Of course, most of the reforms are to change the soup but not the medicine. A tax agency is too harsh, and after being scolded too harshly, it will often be revoked and a new agency will be established, but in fact the people are still the same group of people. Still doing those things.

The Ministry of Taxation has continued to move forward amid the scolding of scolding for decades, but even if it is scolded by outsiders, the interior of the empire, especially the upper echelons of the empire, maintains a supportive attitude towards the Ministry of Taxation.

Otherwise, the tax department will not be able to be safe from the scolding.

Because the tax department is a profitable department, the work efficiency of the tax department directly determines the revenue budget of the empire, and the revenue budget directly determines the expenditure budget.

Whether other agencies have money to spend next year depends on the effectiveness of the tax department.

Therefore, although many high-ranking imperial officials do not like the Ministry of Taxation, they still support the Ministry of Taxation with a clear attitude in formal occasions.

During the tax reform this time, there was a lot of public opinion from the outside world, saying that the Ministry of Taxation is going to carry out reforms, etc., but it was directly suppressed by Chen Lifu and other civil servants.

The tax department has been changed, there is no money, and he is still doing shit. Chen Lifu also expects the tax department to collect more money to provide funds for his great achievements, such as economic integration policies, such as the National Wealth Plan. , such as the recovery of the global field.

Since Chen Lifu’s official letter last winter to regain the global field, the empire has launched a series of actions one after another, among which the recovery of lost territories in Eastern Europe is the most important achievement.

And it will continue in the future.

And this series of actions requires the support of financial funds. For example, if you want to make the Tatars as thugs, intervene in the wars in the Ottoman Kingdom, and want to recover the Ottoman Kingdom, then you need to give the Tatars weapons and ammunition. , If you don’t give people weapons and ammunition, how can people fight.

It is impossible for the Tatars themselves to sell all of them, and it is impossible to collect so much military expenditure to support the war year after year!

For the same affairs in India, a lot of money has been spent since last year. The war between the Mughal Kingdom and the Thirty-Six Nations Alliance indirectly cost the empire at least three million Tang Yuan. Otherwise, this How could the Thirty-six Nations Alliance launch such a large-scale war.

In the ongoing war in the Indian peninsula, the empire still needs a steady stream of spending funds.

If you want to build a global great cause, you need to spend money, even if the money is far less than what you can get through war, but you have to spend it.

This requires the strong financial revenue of the empire as a support, so even Chen Lifu actually supports the efficient work of the tax system.

Therefore, the reform of the Ministry of Taxation has only been publicized for a while and then quietly, because the upper-level bosses are not willing to reform the taxation. If this is reformed, the tax collection will be reduced, and tax evasion will increase. The loss can be It’s their own department.

This tax reform, Chen Lifu and other bigwigs are not concerned with the reform of the tax collection agency, but the reform of the tax itself.

Most of the current tax systems in the empire were formulated around 35 years ago by Xuanping. It has been 12 years since now, and many details are not suitable for the development of the times.

For example, personal income tax, the tax rate set in that year was considered relatively acceptable at the time. Low-income groups basically did not need to pay, and it was the middle and upper classes who paid taxes.

However, with the development of the imperial economy, the income of people in the process of economic development has increased, and the accompanying inflation has made many low-income people have reached the threshold of paying personal income tax.

This is of course impossible. In addition to the important goal of increasing fiscal revenue, the empire’s personal income tax also has a major role in curbing wealth differentiation and redistributing social wealth.

Based on the principle of redistribution of wealth, imposing personal income tax on low-income groups is putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, in this tax reform, a very important point is to raise the threshold of personal income tax once again.

And this one is also the one that many people are most concerned about. After all, the empire’s personal income tax system is related to many people.

When the empire first entered the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, it had already formulated a personal income tax. In order to promote personal income, the Son of Heaven even deliberately raised the salaries of officials and soldiers by a part, and then used this part of the increase as personal income tax. Politics and religion, in the eyes of many people at the time, this was simply taking off your pants and farting.

However, after many years of implementation, when the personal income tax was gradually improved and extended to the whole society, the talents of the tax department discovered this benefit. This is the mode of boiling frogs in warm water, which reduces people’s rebound.

This is why the empire can successfully implement the personal income tax.

In addition to the personal income tax rate adjustment that everyone is most concerned about, there is another tax rate adjustment that many people are concerned about, that is, the agricultural tax adjustment.

Every tax reform, in fact, the agricultural tax reform is the focus, and basically it is aimed at reducing taxes.

With the continuous reduction of agricultural tax, the share of agricultural tax now accounts for only 18% of fiscal revenue, and in the early days, the revenue of agricultural tax accounted for about 50% of the imperial fiscal revenue~www.mtlnovel. com~ Preliminary reduction of agricultural taxes to lighten the burden on peasants has been the consistent policy of the Empire for decades.

If there is no accident this time, the agricultural tax will also be reduced. Of course, it will only reduce the agricultural tax of the farmers with small land. As for the farmers with a large amount of land, the empire does not treat them as farmers, but as landlords or farmers. Taxes are still to be paid.

In addition, the empire may adjust the scope and amount of some commercial taxes, including tax reductions and tax increases. For example, the real estate tax that has been implemented in many places for many years may be fully implemented in this tax reform. .

These tax reforms will greatly affect people at all levels of the empire.

But in general, the strategic direction of this tax reform is still very clear, that is, to reduce the tax burden of low-income groups and increase the total tax revenue.

At first glance, these two strategic directions are somewhat contradictory, but in fact they are not contradictory at all.
