v1 Chapter 408: tax haven

"Let us point out the simple fact that the Newfoundland fishing grounds are indeed the best fishing grounds in the world. Fishing alone can bring Newfoundland back to its previous standard of living within a few years. Newfoundland's debt problem now, in the long run Saying it was never a problem."

"But even so, Newfoundland cannot rely on the seasonal development of fishing alone. There are many things worth paying more attention to than fishing, the 440,000 square kilometers of Newfoundland, with its vast conifers Lin Cover, as long as we use a small part of this, we can get out of the current predicament faster."

"The reconstruction of Europe has begun, and the demand for various raw materials will soar. This is also an opportunity for Newfoundland. I can already see the future of Newfoundland. It is about to enter a stage of rapid development. Almost anywhere."

"The current problem plaguing Newfoundland is nothing more than the lack of manpower, but from another perspective, this can be called a trouble of happiness. The current predicament of Newfoundland is like an ordinary person who found a Dozens of tons of gold nuggets that one person can't carry home."

In Alan Wilson's mouth, why are Canada and Australia also enjoying themselves? What is rich in resources? Less than 200,000 citizens, and only a hundred thousand adult citizens, Newfoundland is a resource-rich template.

The current predicament of Newfoundland is described by Alan Wilson as, there is money on the ground, but the residents of Newfoundland don’t want to bend over?

Since this is the case, there is a shortage of manpower, so use external power to supplement it.

Although the general situation of Newfoundland may seem to be on paper, it is generally in line with the facts. In the end, Alan Wilson said that the potential of Newfoundland is not limited to the forest resources that have never been used, and the positioning of Newfoundland can also be broader.

"London has never forgotten here, and will never forget that Newfoundland paid a heavy price for Britain. Newfoundland residents, good night, change starts from this day, and I hope that tomorrow morning will come, and you will be able to wake up with hope. a new day."

The chicken soup for the soul, which lasted for half an hour, was heard by many Newfoundland residents as the first communication between Alan Wilson and local residents when he took office as Newfoundland's chief executive.

The next morning, Alan Wilson got up and went directly to the Newfoundland Episcopal Church in St. John's City.

In essence, Alan Wilson is very unfamiliar with any sect of Christianity, and he does not believe in any religion in his heart. But it is not impossible for him to pretend to be a believer of God when he does as the locals do.

At present, the Anglican Church of Newfoundland is the largest religious group in British Newfoundland. In St. John's City, the Newfoundland Council held a brief inauguration ceremony, and Alan Wilson issued the first executive order,

"A company established in British Newfoundland, as long as it is registered, does not charge any form of tax, and only needs to pay an annual management fee of fifty pounds, no matter how large the company is."

"The estate tax was promulgated at the same time, prohibiting any inheritance and related taxation."

In the Newfoundland Governor's Office in St. John's, Alan Wilson issued the first executive order. As far as Newfoundland, which is currently a colony, is concerned, what he said can be the meaning of the British Empire and follow the law.

In the communication with the Newfoundland Commission, Alan Wilson said that he would immediately count the population and promulgate the standards for immigration thresholds. "You will never imagine how hot the Newfoundland status will be in the future."

"I can't imagine what effect it can have," asked Newfoundland Governor Joseph Roberts Smallwood.

"Oh, dear Joey. Just do as I say." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "I heard you are a socialist? That may not understand the power of this policy."

Although the British Empire has disintegrated in the 21st century, Britain still has several very small colonies. Like the mainland, it is built as a financial center, but it is more accurate to call it a tax haven.

Panama, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Barbados, Bahamas and Costa Rica in the Caribbean; Ireland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Malta, Gibraltar and Cyprus in Europe; Mauritius in Africa and more.

Most of these tax havens are very small island nations. Since there are no local resources and industries, they can only find another way to avoid tax by providing offshore financial services at very low or even zero tax rates to attract individuals and multinational companies to set up companies in their countries.

The wealth of these inconspicuous islands alone accounts for 8% of the world's total wealth, which is close to 10 trillion US dollars. Then, as the first British Newfoundland to eat crabs, how can it be? It won't go anywhere.

Furthermore, British Newfoundland is only a small population in line with the characteristics of these tax havens, but in fact, Newfoundland is no worse than Australia in terms of per capita resources, and the days without tax havens are not much worse.

But Alan Wilson wanted to improve too much. He felt that the natural fishing grounds and the forestry resources that the Chinese workers who arrived soon were still not enough. He directly introduced the tax havens that gradually emerged in the 1960s.

At present, the inheritance tax in the UK is very high, and as the Cold War gradually becomes clear, the countries in Europe are on the front line, so the tax rate will hardly decrease.

Alan Wilson is not clear about the inheritance tax situation in the United States, but there is a famous saying in the United States that there are two things that cannot be avoided: death and paying taxes.

Paying taxes in the United States is not an ordinary problem. Once the day comes, it must be done on the same day, and it cannot be delayed for a day.

Every year on April 15th, it is the most painful time for the middle class in the United States. If the tax refund is good, if the tax is repaid, it must be sent on the same day, otherwise it will be fined. It was only when I paid my taxes that I learned that at least 30% of my hard-earned income was turned over to the government. On April 15th, the government chose very well. Do the math. The poorest middle-class Americans were basically working for the government before April 15th. The money earned before this day is used to pay taxes, and sometimes it may not be enough.

As for letting the CIA and the FBI stand aside, the IRS, which is well-known in the Duanzi world, will not be unfamiliar to any key politics enthusiast.

"Pay taxes to the federal government on time!" The American gang leader who left his famous last words just died last year.

The IRS has enforcement priority, that is, if the CIA and the IRS arrest a person at the same time, the CIA suspects it is a spy for the Soviet Union, the IRS suspects that the person is tax evasion, and people from the two departments collide When they got together, the CIA had to watch the IRS take people away.

Alan Wilson doesn't know whether the pensions of the fallen American soldiers in this era should be taxed or not, but they will be paid in future generations anyway. The figure calculated by the IRS is the pension for fallen soldiers.

Alan Wilson did not slander the Newfoundland governor in front of him, who called himself a socialist. However, from Alan Wilson's point of view, Mr. Joseph Roberts Smallwood, who took the initiative to join Canada from Newfoundland, should be a verbal socialist.

The emergence of tax havens appeared at the height of the Cold War, and Eastern European countries generally did not trust the United States. They all put some foreign-related funds in European countries.

In fact, to be a tax haven, you need to do three main preparations. Business activities are rarely regulated by laws and regulations, and the procedures are simple and tax-free. The borrowing currency in the offshore financial market is the foreign currency, and the borrower can freely choose the currency type. The lending relationship in this market is the relationship between a foreign lender and a foreign borrower, which involves almost every country in the world.

There are 600,000 companies in the British Virgin Islands alone, one third of which are related to China.

"Joey, let's talk about another question, where is the best forest area on the island, and what conditions can it be used for? I mean it's best to use the river."

Alan Wilson has already understood the basic conditions of Newfoundland. The railway is not available. The 110,000-square-kilometer island ~lightnovelpub.net~ has only so many people. How could anyone build a railway to connect the major settlements?

Since railways are not used, they can only use the miracles of nature. The use of rivers is also very important in wood production.

Wood is a thing that can be stored for a long time when it is air-dried, and it can also be stored for a long time when it is completely soaked in water. But it rots in a neutral environment.

He remembered that in his previous life, there were logs deposited in the lake next to the forest area in his hometown for one year. These logs have been soaked for decades. The quality of these logs is not bad or even better. After all, the logs of the same diameter have already been cut. Gone.

On a large island of more than 100,000 square kilometers, Alan Wilson is not worried about logging for a year, whether it will damage the environment. For the area of ​​Newfoundland, even 10,000 cubic meters a day is a drop in the bucket.

It is absolutely impossible for such a large island to be without the use of rivers. Alan Wilson said that he wanted the local governor in front of him to take him to investigate to see where he could generate income.

"Huh?" Joseph Roberts Smallwood pondered for a while, thinking about what reason would be more appropriate to refuse. After all, this is a manual job.

"Understood, I'll find another guide, just let Savievic find a few people to deal with the wild environment." Alan Wilson simply said, a verbal socialist, it's not incomprehensible.
