"Is this tax evasion?"
Looking at Adam with worry and hesitation but constipation, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but flash a topic that had long been famous but didn't talk about.
But just as Zheng Jianguo was wondering if he wanted to ask, Charlie next to him said, "Zheng, I think you can consult your alumni at Harvard, such as the doctor of accounting at the business school."
"Oh, OK, thank you, Charlie ~"
The face of Augustus suddenly flashed in his mind. Zheng Jianguo gave up his previous thoughts and nodded and said, "let this matter go first. Anyway, it's still a little long before the tax declaration time --"
"OK, I just asked according to the ordinary process. You can also consult a more professional accounting firm -"
Adam obviously said it with a sigh of relief. Zheng Jianguo expressed understanding. When he left them for dinner and wanted to send them away, he seemed to think of something and said, "Charlie, I haven't used your car phone yet. Can I have a try?"
"Ah, of course this is no problem ~"
Charlie, who was just carrying his bag, looked stunned. Then he quickly returned to his mind and said. Zheng Jianguo smiled at Adam next to him. He followed Charlie to his car, watched him catch fire and turned on the air conditioner. Then he picked up the phone and handed it to him: "it's a little hot in here, so I won't accompany you -"
"Well, OK, I'm just curious ~"
Zheng Jianguo pretended to be a huluwa who didn't go down the mountain, touched the dial button and microphone, but quickly dialed Augustus after Charlie got out of the car.
As a familiar voice came from there, Zheng Jianguo also said that he had decided to pay taxes. Unexpectedly, the other party directly said with a smile: "this is not a problem. After you hang up, I'll let someone go to your side, but because you didn't pass the fund operation, I'm afraid you'll have to take a lot of more taxes this time."
"Now I want to declare and pay taxes in advance for the purpose of establishing a fund -"
Hearing that the other party was outspoken, Zheng Jianguo did not hide his intention, but not long after he got home after the call, the people who came made him have to think too much: "Dear Zheng, you made a little too much this time, which must have attracted the attention of the IRS.
So I want to ask you, do you have any plans to donate money in America? Because the amount of donation is not taxable, and you will be exempted from part of the amount -- "
"I really plan to donate money. I have relatives who want to study at Harvard, so I want to donate some money. According to about a quarter of the tax amount, this sum can save me millions -"
Remembering to arrange Zheng Donghua and her three students to study in the medical school, Zheng Jianguo didn't hide from Benny bard, who is said to have come from Harvard Business School: "do you have any suggestions?"
"Zheng, we don't need to be so polite. You can call me Benny or bud. Although our age gap is a little big, we are all alumni, lifelong alumni -"
Benny Bader said with a moustache and nodded after hearing about his donation: "yes, that's what I want to ask. Now the price of the special quota is about $2 million. Considering your age and identity, I don't think it's appropriate to donate too much.
Well, five million three places are still OK, but there is a prerequisite I want to tell you in advance, that is, the enrollment quota can be obtained in this way, but the graduation certificate depends on your own efforts -- "
"Special places?"
Zheng Jianguo subconsciously asked, but such a number was much less than he thought. The price of the children studying at Harvard flashed in his mind. Then he remembered that this era was not a time in his memory, so he said, "special cases?"
"Yes, the last quarter of each college is this group of people. They have an obvious feature, that is, they have money, from the inside to the outside -"
Benny Bader did not regard Zheng Jianguo as an outsider, but talked to him about these related households: "of course, it also depends on their relatively rich families. Most of these people will inherit their family business after graduation. This method used by the school is somewhat immoral, but it can ensure that their students are born in the upper middle class of society, Then their parents can build teaching buildings and libraries, and of course, dunks like you -- "
"Dunk master?"
Zheng Jianguo was puzzled again. Of course, he knew that the word refers to the unique vocabulary of basketball. He didn't want Benny Bader to immediately say with a smile: "it refers to the person who can jump up in front of the backboard and pour the basketball into the basket in the academic field, just like your achievements in Helicobacter and physics in the medical school.
This will promote progress in the two professional fields of the school. After all, Harvard University is a good school on the whole, and that quarter of the people are in the school, which is only a minority -- "
"Well, I see. Thank you, Benny ~"
Zheng Jianguo showed relief. The rich can provide material security for the first quarter of the people to make scientific research achievements. Moreover, considering that most of the school graduates will become the middle and upper class of the society, it is natural to give some special treatment to these alumni who are already the middle and upper class of the society?
As for Zheng Jianguo himself, if his children want to apply for Harvard in the future, his aura will become no small bonus: "I don't know how to pay less tax?"
"At present, the lowest tax rate is 28% capital gains tax. Fortunately, you don't fry futures and stocks in your own name. Otherwise, your high income will directly touch 36% of your personal gross income line, and 8% of Massachusetts personal income tax will be added. Now it depends on capital gains tax, which saves you a lot --"
Benny Bader put away the smile on his face, but since he came, it was not in vain: "if you donate, 5 million can probably offset 500000 tax. If you have parents and family to support, you can also save some.
It's just that you're single now and you've gained a lot of income this time, so you can't save too much within the scope of Legality -- "
"Donations are also tax deductible -"
In my mind, I thought of those big guys who donated hundreds of millions, billions and tens of billions. Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that donations would have this advantage.
However, when he heard that he had not married yet, Zheng Jianguo knew that he had tried his best: "if there are similar operations, Benny, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Of course, there are suggestions. For example, register a company in the British Virgin Islands, register a fund with this company, and then open an anonymous account in the Swiss bank, and then buy and sell through all accounts with the lowest tax rate. After this operation, the overall tax rate can be reduced to less than one tenth -"
Benny Bader looked at Zheng Jianguo, then shrugged and continued with a gentle smile: "since the transaction accounts are anonymous accounts of Swiss banks, if the IRS wants to verify the authenticity of these transaction accounts, it must request Switzerland to provide these data through the British Virgin Islands.
But even if the British Virgin Islands agrees to this requirement, the Swiss bank secrecy law cannot agree. Of course, due to the cumbersome specific operation, it needs extremely professional personnel to operate - "
"I know about UBS. Just considering that many banks in the United States have closed down, I also want to put my funds in a safer place -"
Of course, Zheng Jianguo knows the famous Swiss bank, but that's still in his memory of his last life. It is said that the safest bank in the world also lost its independence and began to inform countries about savings customers. However, considering that what he lacks now is professionals, he has the idea of digging into the wall: "yes, Benny, where do you work now?
"I am now a partner of Raymond accounting firm, so I feel we can deepen our cooperation -"
After sitting up straight from the sofa and putting his hands together, Benny's beard curled up under his smile and said that before he came, he just knew that he had a income and wanted to avoid taxes reasonably, but he didn't want to be surprised by what he heard after saying a few words.
Such a high income was earned without reasonable tax avoidance. He felt distressed for Zheng Jianguo: "even if you have your own accounting department in the future, it will not hinder our cooperation. After all, Raymond has audit business --"
"If these operations are delegated to Raymond -"
Remembering that the management company planned by Zheng Jianguo also needs audit, Zheng Jianguo feels that the cooperation opportunities between the two sides are still not small. However, considering that this opportunity is compared with the immediate action, his focus is still on the tenth tax rate of the goods: "if you handle it as quickly as you can, you can do what you say in a few days?"
"The fastest speed? Incorporation fund? "
Benny had an idea in his mind. However, before he thought about it, he heard Zheng Jianguo say: "it's to buy and sell with the lowest tax rate account -"
"Is this going to have action?"
Benny's face changed slightly and immediately smiled, "it'll take about - ten days."
"Can it be done in five days?"
Zheng Jianguo asked deeply. At this time, it is less than five days before he will announce the news on the 12th. If it starts tomorrow Monday, he will announce the news on the evening of Thursday 12th, and concentrate all his efforts to short on Friday 13th.
After a two-day weekend off, the news of Soviet expansion of oil production and countries' search for new energy was announced on Monday - the cucumber and vegetables were cold ten days later.
"Although the British Virgin Islands is relatively close, it is far from Switzerland. A single flight from New York to Frankfurt takes one day, and the flight is not fixed. Even the fastest Concorde is selected -"
Benny Bader carefully explained why he couldn't do it. Even if it went well, he needed to fly from Boston to the British Virgin Islands. This flight was only available tomorrow morning.
The time to arrive at the islands is in the afternoon. It's a joke to register a company in half a day. Why, it takes a day or two. I just don't know if I can buy Concorde tickets to Frankfurt, even if it's noon on the fourth day - should it be the morning of the fourth day?
"There's no problem traveling. I have a private plane that can fly from Boston to Switzerland."
Thinking of his white swan, Zheng Jianguo felt a little lucky to have bought the plane. One tenth of the 4.3 billion was 430 million, which was nearly two-thirds less than the 1.1 billion paid now. The remaining funds could buy several more white swans: "you can fly according to your requirements -"
"Well, all right -"
Benny's smile froze for a moment. When he remembered the work arrangement for next week, he felt that he had dug a hole for himself.
However, considering that there are few opportunities to take a private plane, and that this man is so anxious, he must have made big moves. Just a little thinking about the amount of money he has, Benny immediately made a decision to change his work plan for next week: "just, Zheng, the flight cost of private plane --"
"Of course it won't be included in the expenses of your accounting firm -"
Zheng Jianguo didn't care about the flight cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a white swan. After all, compared with the tax that can be paid less, the money is not even a fraction.
Of course, in the face of Benny, who met for the first time, Zheng Jianguo also had the idea of making friends: "on the contrary, if Raymond can do these preparations before Friday, I will pay you double."
"That's very generous of you --"
Benny Budd immediately smiled and just smiled and quickly entered his role: "Zheng, since you have decided, I'll go back and make preparations now. I don't know when your private plane will arrive?"
"Tomorrow morning? You wait for me to call -- "
Seeing the other party entering the working state, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help looking at the other party, so he quickly got up next to the phone, found out the number of Gubao hospital and dialed: "Hi, is fan Dailin here?"
"Van Dylan? Is this his girlfriend? "
Next to him, Benny Bader looked at Zheng Jianguo and started looking for someone else. He soon opened his mouth and said to the microphone, "when can I get to Boston? Oh, the fastest way to apply for a channel is 12 hours in advance? Oh, the arrival time is around 12 noon -- "
"I don't know what company he runs?"
The idea flashed through his mind. Benny Budd saw that Zheng Jianguo had made several more phone calls and made arrangements. He opened his mouth to him and said, "the plane will come before 13 noon tomorrow. I have arranged for lawyers and fund managers. They will come to you tomorrow -"
"OK, I won't bother you. I'll go."
Benny Bader immediately stood up and said goodbye. He just waited until he went back to the accounting firm overnight to find his partner and received another big order. After the arrangement, he signed a formal contract with Charlie and Adam who got the authorization the next day. After he was busy, he rushed to Boston airport early. Unexpectedly, the reception manager in the VIP Hall reported a dull flight code: "ba005? Concorde number of British Aerospace? Isn't Concorde just four? Is Zheng's private plane Concorde? "
