Chapter 133 Reasonable Tax Avoidance
"So how can I avoid taxes legally? Not pay the tax bureau?"
Allen Zhang asked.
Dave was silent for a moment and said, “Young man, your idea is very dangerous!”
But you asked the right person.
He does have many methods.
"If you don't have assets worth over 100 million, I don't recommend you to take the path of reasonable tax avoidance. In fact, it's very simple to avoid paying this money. You just need to change the concept. Don't you know someone in a charity organization? Reina works in the shelter. You just need to donate your pre-tax income to a charity that meets IRS requirements, and then short the account through internal employees and open another savings card. All your future expenses will be traded in the name of charity with that card. The things you buy will not be under your own name. You can reasonably avoid taxes by transferring money from one hand to the other."
"If the amount is small, hundreds of thousands or millions, you can also use virtual currencies such as USDT to settle transactions. Jennifer has never paid taxes on the money she earned because it is not settled in . dollars, and as long as you don't convert it into . dollars, there will be no transaction records. The price fluctuations of virtual currencies such as Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin in the virtual market will not affect Tether (USDT). "
Zhang Ailun suddenly realized and decided to open a virtual currency account when he had time.
I also sent a message to Reina immediately.
Zhang Ailun: I would like to donate some money to the shelter in the name of our team.
Rena: Are you sane, Alan? You can't even feed yourself, and you're going to donate? How much are you going to donate to charity?
Allen Zhang: $12000.
Rena: $12000? Are you sure? You don't want to donate, you want to avoid taxes!
As expected of you, you guessed it so quickly.
Allen Zhang: That’s right.
Reina quickly understood his approach and agreed to accept his donation.
Inform him that he can come to the shelter in the afternoon for a detailed discussion.
These days, many wealthy people try their best to avoid taxes. Apart from having many children and raising them, the easiest way is to donate to charity.
Since she started working at the shelter, Reina has not paid much tax at all. She donates her salary to charity in another way, and uses the employee account to spend money. She also receives many discounts on buying cars and houses.
Zhang Ailun and Reina agreed on a time.
It was afternoon now and Dave still had work to do at the court, so they chatted for a few minutes and then went their separate ways.
Sig drove Zhang Ailun to the intersection of the shelter. Zhang Ailun also asked him to go to the cabin in the suburbs to check on the situation and supervise whether the people in Feis were lazy and whether they had refined any gold.
After seeing Sig off, Zhang Allen walked into the hall of the shelter with ease and saw Reina and supervisor Cooper working.
Cooper noticed this acquaintance and greeted him warmly.
"Hey! Hamburg, or Leon, you're here?" Cooper patted his shoulder with a smile, "Rena told me your idea, charity donation? That's great, please follow me."
He motioned to Zhang Ailun to go upstairs and talk with him.
"Since we are all acquaintances and you helped us solve a big problem last time, I can help you register for an on-the-job position in the security room as a security guard. I can also apply for an internal employee bank card for you. Then you will be our internal employee and enjoy generous tax deduction benefits. There is no need to use Reina's account." Supervisor Cooper said straight to the point.
To be honest, the welfare benefits are a bit too good. It's so easy to deduct taxes. It's hard for Zhang Ailun not to wonder if he has some far-reaching plans.
I simply asked directly: "I don't quite understand, just registering my name in the shelter means I don't have to pay taxes?"
"You don't need to ask too much. Every employee here has a tax deduction. You are Reina's friend, so just trust me, and you will be right."
Cooper said, "The reason is actually very simple. The shelter has a bidding quota. For every additional employee, I can apply for more welfare money from above, but I will not give this money to you, nor will I pay you a salary. Do you understand?"
"If there are any problems with security work, or things that are inconvenient for us to handle, you will also be responsible for solving them. This will benefit all of us. In addition to salary tax deductions, you can also make additional donations and designate them to be distributed to your own account."
I understand if you put it that way.
As long as he could reasonably avoid taxes by transferring the money from one hand to the other, Zhang Ailun had no reason not to agree to him.
“I won’t do anything illegal.”
"We don't do anything illegal. We only find loopholes in the law. If there is an emergency like last time, you need to solve it. In fact, the reason why I want to cooperate with you is because I see your potential. You have been making a lot of noise in District 5 recently. Many homeless people have mentioned your name."
Cooper took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, handed one to Zhang Ailan, opened it and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Your influence here is beyond my imagination. Are you responsible for this street now?"
"It seems not yet. This is the welfare resource area. Many homeless people gather here. You can think of it as the neutral zone in the game." Zhang Ailun gave him a brief introduction to the street divisions and resources.
"Interesting." Cooper nodded, but he didn't quite understand. He was a senior executive of the shelter, not a homeless person, and he wasn't very interested in street fights.
The only thing we know is that Juanjin is the boss of this group of homeless people, and many of them listen to him.
And they are an organization that provides welfare to the homeless, and that is actually enough.
When two people in charge sit together, there are actually many loopholes that can be exploited.
"The welfare agency has clear regulations that welfare assistance must be provided to the homeless on time. Sometimes they will send people to conduct undercover investigations to prevent the withholding of welfare resources, shopping vouchers and subsidies. Since those homeless people are your people, I think it should be no problem if more or fewer people receive subsidies, right?" Cooper asked.
Zhang Ailun also understood what he meant. "You want my people not to collect the subsidy, or to falsely collect the subsidy? I can't do that."
Even making money from homeless people?
Are you a horse or a human being?
"No, I want to exchange a batch of goods for subsidies. I know a factory owner in the manufacturing industry who wants to sell a batch of unsaleable goods to cash in some money, but I have no way to help him. Subsidies are about to be distributed. If you can let those homeless people use the subsidies they receive to buy those goods, he will be very grateful to you." Cooper expressed his thoughts.
"What kind of stuff?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"Some daily necessities like clothes and hats." Cooper smiled slightly. "This is just an experiment. There are about 30,000 to 60,000 US dollars worth of goods. The manufacturer can sell them to you at a price lower than the market price and slightly higher than the cost. With your number and funds, if you are willing to help, it can be done!"
Indeed, the number of members of the Beggars' Sect now exceeds fifty, and with further development it will be able to reach a hundred.
Each person can receive a subsidy ranging from $200 to $800. If Zhang Allen really concentrates his manpower and funds to buy this batch of unsalable goods, he can also swallow it up.
"But this doesn't seem to be of any benefit to us." Zhang Ailun pondered, "We have no shortage of food. Compared to spending money on things, they actually prefer to buy for free. Although I provide them with shelter and help, I have no right to interfere with their shopping freedom."
"So what are you lacking? I will find other manufacturers to arrange unsalable goods and provide you with low-cost trading according to your needs. Bicycles? Tents? Skateboards? Electrical appliances? Leaves? Painkillers? This is not a forced sale. I will arrange for people to sell the items they are willing to buy on your territory and create a small-scale trading market. They can buy the items they need at a cheap price, and the company will clear out the unsalable goods and get the cash from the transaction."
Cooper said: "The most important thing is that you don't need to pay consumption tax when you use subsidies and shopping vouchers to buy these goods. Because some manufacturers that are about to go bankrupt have applied for tax exemption support from the government. As long as they can survive and restore their capital chain to normal, it is more important than anything else. In the future, they will donate more items for free to help more homeless people."
"I'll think about it."
Zhang Ailun nodded. "But I won't force them to buy anything. I have to make sure it's something they're interested in."
If there is a trap, he will not let the Beggar Gang disciples step into it. They don't have much savings to begin with, and the subsidy is only paid out once a month. If they are still being exploited, will the leader still be able to survive if people find out?
"If you're willing to help, you can contact Rena for details."
Cooper was also holding the attitude of trying everything possible. This kind of thing was not only done by their shelter, but shelters in other neighborhoods in Los Angeles, including San Francisco, had already used this method.
The most outrageous thing was the tent scandal that was personally caused by a congressman.
But that was actually internal corruption that was exposed, and the amount of money and departments involved were very large. Now it is more like a personal connection business run by the shelter itself, and the manufacturer sells directly to the outside world in order to revitalize itself.
Ugly, very ugly.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Cooper left contentedly. Zhang Alan didn't ask what he was doing specifically, but he probably went to a meeting with the boss in the city center.
Zhang Ailun doesn't believe that the boss is not involved in this. Those manufacturers are probably their own businesses, otherwise it is impossible for any factory that is about to go bankrupt to apply for tax exemption support. Do you really think Los Angeles is your home?
Is there any Wangfa? Is there any law?
What? I am one of them too?
That's fine.
When I went downstairs, I saw that the shelter had closed early. It only provided one meal at noon every day, and distributed free clothes and daily necessities at other times.
Reina also had some free time, so she made herself a cup of hot coffee, crossed her legs, and played with her cell phone.
She was wearing a red jacket with the shelter's logo printed on it, a white shirt, and jeans. Her plump figure was like a ripe peach, exuding a mature and sophisticated charm.
Zhang Ailun admires the work he developed and never gets tired of it.
"Have you finished discussing this? Any results?" Reina asked after watching him go downstairs and taking a sip of coffee.
"Cooper agreed to register my identity as an employee of a non-profit organization in my name, but there is no subsidy such as insurance or salary. Fortunately, my monthly salary is the amount of tax deduction."
Zhang Ailun sat next to her, one hand skillfully placed on her thigh.
Reina rolled her eyes at him. "How much can you deduct from your salary tax? A few thousand dollars at most. Didn't he promise to give you more benefits?"
"You are my welfare." Zhang Ailan's little mouth was smeared with honey, which immediately made Reina blush.
"He promised me that I could make welfare donations to the shelter in the future, which would go into my work account, and I could use that bank card to make purchases in the name of charity."
Reina thought for a moment and said, "But you'd better not donate too much. One hundred thousand dollars a month is more reasonable. Because the orders and cash flow of our shelter are only tens of millions of dollars."
Tens of millions? That's it?
Who knows what Cooper did behind the scenes? How could a shelter generate so much revenue?
This is still the amount recorded in the project. Who knows how much there is that is not recorded in the account.
"Do you trust my ability to make money so much? Can I easily make $100,000?" Zhang Ailun also began to doubt his life. Do you think too highly of me?
Reina immediately said, "I'm just suggesting it. How much money you make has nothing to do with me."
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Reina. You seem to have become much more beautiful."
"When am I not beautiful?"
Zhang Ailun knew she would say that, and responded automatically: "You are especially beautiful today."
Reina was very pleased with his compliment, but still said with disdain: "You must have said the same thing to other women out there."
Zhang Ailun didn't know how to answer, so he could only avoid the main point and change the subject to talk about Cooper's business.
Half an hour later, seeing that the other employees were preparing to pack up and leave work, Rena also stood up and hinted, "Did you take a shower today, Alan?"
"I shower every day in the RV. Why do you ask?"
"Would you mind washing it again?"
"Now?"
"Yeah!"
Reina got up, locked the door, and dragged Zhang Ailun upstairs.
After testing the water temperature, Zhang Ailun lay comfortably in the bathtub. Reina changed into casual clothes, pushed the door open, pulled out a whip from the pink tool box, and whipped the air with a snap.
"..."
Zhang Ailun was numb.
No, can’t you just take a good bath?
Does it have to be like this?
Reina said with a wry smile, "Which of the other girls you and I dated has a better figure and is prettier?"
"Of course it's you."
Zhang Ailun answered without hesitation.
"Very good! How you please others! Now how you please me!"
Zhang Ailun was embarrassed: "Maybe some peanut butter?"
Reina's expression froze. Peanut butter?
Blushing and biting her lip, "How ugly!!"
"Wait a moment." He turned around and hurried out the door, and soon came back with a jar of honey from the warehouse.
"No peanut butter, honey will do. Please start your show, sir."
This time her little mouth is really filled with honey.
Zhang Ailun was confused.
It's late afternoon.
Zhang Ailun, who was overworked, got a chance to take a break, and Reina went to prepare dinner for him contentedly. She also received news from Sig.
The other party showed him a picture with English words and a big exclamation mark.
Sig: Withdrawal!!!
Zhang Allen clicked on the picture and took a look. There were a few gold beans in the container. Except for the abnormal color, the bumps and holes, and the fact that it seemed to contain some impurities and chemical toxins, it was no different from ordinary gold.
Zhang Ailun: How many grams? What's the purity?
Sig: I spent most of today crushing mobile phones, disassembling and sorting CPUs and gold-plated circuit boards. I just started refining a few hours ago. So far, I have only filtered out 19 grams of gold! The purity is !
Zhang Ailun: You have done a good job. Keep up the good work. Everyone will get dividends in due time.
Sig: You don’t even need to tell me, everyone of them is so motivated right now!
