Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"...Your Majesty, the sage has decreed to reward the businessmen who participated in the fund-raising conference yesterday. In addition to the public praise in the "Datang Daily", the businessmen who donated money yesterday can receive the same amount of tax-free allowance this year! But yesterday More than half of the businessmen who donated money came from our Lantian County, and the total amount donated by these businessmen was nearly 260,000~!

If our Lantian County implements the tax collection according to the will of the Holy Master, wouldn’t we have to pay 260,000 less business taxes? The treasury of the county government is not well-off. Yesterday, 10,000 yuan was donated. Later, the county government will expand the city and assist Yunshan in laying wires for the county. The business tax will be sharply reduced, how can this be good~? "

In Lantian County's Yahou Tang, Meng Xiancheng held a notice in his hand and said worriedly to He County Magistrate who was sitting on the head.

In the hall, in addition to them, there are Zhang Zhushu and Wang Xianwei. It can be said that the chief officials of Lantian County are all here. As for Hu Dianshi and Sun Zhaotou, they are in charge of prison and prison. The public security did not participate in this small-scale meeting within the county government.

The notice in the hands of Meng County Prime Minister was naturally a notice of commendation for businessmen posted in Chang'an City and surrounding counties in the morning and later today. All four people present had read it. He opened his mouth and said:

"Lord County Magistrate, Meng County Chancellor's concerns are not without reason! Back then, the Marquis returned the financial power of Lantian County to the county government, and explained that we would take the collected taxes from the people and use them for the people. , The business in this city has just picked up, seeing that the business tax collected and paid is increasing month by month, so the county government dares to start many large and small projects.

Right now, we have set up such a big stall and borrowed a lot of money from Yanhuang Bank, and the expansion of the city and the laying of electric wires will require a lot of money. , I am afraid that we can only collect a business tax of one or two thousand tons, which is nothing but a drop in the bucket!

As a result, the two projects to be advanced in the future will not only be directly stagnant, but also the money that our county government owes Yanhuang Qianzhuang, I am afraid it will be difficult to pay off! Therefore, the lower official thinks, otherwise our county will not implement the tax collection decree according to the will of the saint, and still collect business tax according to the original policy~? "

It has to be said that Li Er's decree of commending the businessmen who participated in the fundraising conference yesterday disrupted the development pace of Lantian County. Loss!

First of all, there are currently more than 600 merchants in Lantian County, but there were more than 300 who participated in the fundraising conference yesterday. In general, merchants who are willing to participate in the fundraising conference at least prove that their stores are on the right track and even profitable. Quite a lot, these merchants are the current major taxpayers in Lantian County;

The reason why more than 300 other merchants did not participate in the fund-raising conference is that most of the merchants have just moved to Lantian County, and their stores have established a firm foothold in Lantian County, in other words, they have not yet made profits. Or there is very little profit, which leads to hardships. These merchants are the objects that Lantian County government currently needs to support, and they cannot contribute much tax revenue to Lantian County at the moment.

If the tax is levied according to Li Er's tax reduction decree, the financial situation of Lantian County in the next few months can be imagined!

In addition, the commercial tax collection ratio in Lantian County is 6 to 1, while the commercial tax collection ratio of other prefectures and counties in Datang is 30 to 1, which leads to a problem:

The two businessmen attended the fund-raising conference yesterday and both donated a thousand kuai, but one of them is from Lantian County and the other is from another county. According to Li Er's will, the rest of the two of them this year. Time, you will get a thousand tax exemption quota, which seems to be no problem, but if it is combined with the different proportion of business tax collection in Lantian County and outside Lantian County, it will be too problematic!

According to the commercial tax collection ratio of 30 to 1 in most prefectures and counties in Datang, the businessman from other counties who donated 1,000 kuai, as long as the total profit of the business in the remaining five months of this year does not exceed 30,000 guan, does not need to pay The court paid extra business tax! In other words, only when his total profit in five months reaches 30,000, can the tax-exempt quota of 1,000 he obtained from the fundraising conference be fully used up!

But in fact, there are very few businessmen in the whole Datang who can make a profit of 30,000 guans in five months. That is to say, the businessman from other counties who donated 1,000 guans has obtained a tax-free quota of 1,000 guans, but the fact is He can't use up this quota at all, because his profit in five months is likely to be only 10,000 or less!

In this way, the actual business tax lost by the imperial court on this merchant is only about one-thirtieth of the 10,000 guans, which is almost three hundred guans or less!

But the Lantian County businessman who also donated a thousand kuai is different. According to the business tax levy ratio of six to one in Lantian County, as long as his total profit from the business in the next five months of this year can reach 6,000 kuai, You can use up all the tax-free quota of 1,000 tons! And at this time, the business tax actually lost by the Lantian county government on this businessman is a thousand dollars, and there is no discount at all!
