Chapter 70: Chapter 58 Tang Fangjing's Verbal Battle Against a Host of Lawyers! (Combined) Part 3

He had meticulously prepared a surprise for the Lawyers Association, and just because they said he had passed the assessment, that didn't mean the surprise should go undelivered. There's no such thing as pulling the plug halfway when giving a gift.

Besides, he had bigger things to do in Jingzhou in the future. It was better to get these old fossils from the Lawyers Association to move out of the way sooner rather than later. Otherwise, he would be busy explaining every time someone lodged a complaint, and where would that leave him?

If only the leaders of the Lawyers Association could become his people, Old Tang and Old Wang seemed quite alright in Tang Fangjing's opinion.

"Don't bother with the details, just know it's to your advantage. Let's leave it at that."

Just as Tang Fangjing finished his phone call and was about to leave, Li Wanting hurriedly asked, "Tang Bro, where are you going? Aren't you coming back to the firm?"

"I'm not going back; I have an important matter to take care of."

After leaving these words, Tang Fangjing hailed a taxi, "Yuefu Residential Complex."

Back at the complex, he picked up his big bag and rode off on his electric scooter, setting his sights on the Jingzhou City Tax Bureau.

He had previously discussed with Old Song that when taking action, one must use the right methods. The Lawyers Association was essentially immovable within the legal industry. Filing a lawsuit would likely lead to dismissal.

Therefore, one must take a different path, start from another angle.

The staff member looked at it, a non-tax revenue receipt from a social organization.

"What's wrong with this? The Lawyers Association doesn't need to pay taxes on membership fees."

At those words, Tang Fangjing laughed, "Indeed, the Lawyers Association does not need to pay taxes on membership fees, but this isn't membership fees. This is the training fee we intern lawyers paid for participating in training sessions!

"According to the rules, intern lawyers are not considered members of the Lawyers Association, so they can't collect the training fee under the guise of membership fees. So now, should this fee be considered as other income for the Lawyers Association?

"Since it's other income, why is the Lawyers Association issuing receipts for a social group? Doesn't this count as tax evasion?"

The staff member was momentarily stunned, as it seemed there indeed was a suspicion of tax evasion.

Tang Fangjing was already adding fuel to the fire.

"Look here, since 2009, the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association has been organizing centralized training for intern lawyers every year, with an established assessment system. Every intern lawyer must participate, which means they all must pay the fee."

"After so many years, think about how many intern lawyers have participated. How much would that amount to in fees?"

Old Tang grinned like a sly fox. For formal lawyers to partake in training and issue such a receipt was one thing, but intern lawyers indeed weren't members of the Lawyers Association, as stated by the association itself.

If it's like this in Jingzhou, what about other places in Handong Province? Just think about it, it's amusing. So, how's that for a big surprise?
