Seeing that Li Mingbao understood what he meant, John smiled: "You must also understand the horror of American tax rates, so if you want to gain as much as possible, you must learn to avoid taxes reasonably, otherwise, most of your money will be lost." It all has to be put in the pocket of the federal government. " "Yeah, I understand, it's not that troublesome in Hong Kong, so I usually just ignore it, but I forget that this is the United States, and the American tax officials are like damn. They are as cruel as vampires and deserve to go to hell," Li Mingbao said with a depressed look. "Yes, I agree with what you said. Of course, it's not just me, there are many rich people like us. The American tax collectors are our natural enemies. So, for your funds, I think you should look for A group of qualified lawyers to complete your tax payment. If you need lawyers in this area, I have some friends who may be able to help you." John said with a smile. "Thank you, John. It seems that I also need to learn reasonable tax avoidance. I can't let those vampires steal all my hard work. According to the tax rate here, how much money do I need to pay based on my current funds? ?" Li Mingbao asked with an unhappy expression. It would be strange if his complexion improved. Although the harvest this time seems to be a lot, the previous US$160 million plus the US$200 million from selling the copyright later, Li Mingbao's money in the United States will be US$360 million. For such a large amount of money, if tax was paid according to the US tax rate, at 35%, Li Mingbao would have to pay US$126 million in US tax. ¡°In other words, what he can get to Hong Kong is only about US$234 million. To say that this much money is actually enough for Li Mingbao, if converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be at least more than one billion and close to two billion. But just like that, the American tax officer had his flesh cut off, and the cut was worth more than 100 million US dollars. If Li Mingbao had no other ideas, then he would really be a Buddha. Hearing Li Mingbao's inquiry, John patiently explained: "Your tax rate is actually very complicated, because your money is not only earned in the United States, but also in Europe or other places, so the tax rate is not fixed. But for that 160 million U.S. dollars, you have to pay at least 40 million U.S. dollars in taxes. And the tax rate on copyright is actually fixed, so you have to pay about 70 million U.S. dollars. In this way, you have to pay almost 100 million U.S. dollars. About ten million US dollars. If you follow the normal procedures, you can't escape the money. "Although the amount of money John mentioned is more than ten million dollars less than what Li Mingbao calculated, it is still a big deal. But it was destined to be handed over. One hundred million U.S. dollars. If so much money was put in Hong Kong, even Uncle Liu would not dare to say no. If it were brought to the mainland, considering the mainland's foreign exchange reserves in these years, it would not be too difficult for Li Mingbao to be interviewed by the No. 1 leader. But with so much money, how could Li Mingbao be willing to let the Americans rob him before his eyes? So Li Mingbao continued to ask: "If, I mean if I have a lawyer friend to help, then how much tax will I need to pay in the end?" "If there is a lawyer friend to help, in the case of reasonable tax avoidance, you will only pay approximately It looks like paying 60 million US dollars. Of course, as a friend, I will give you a tip, that is, if you buy products in the United States, local products, or some other local consumption, you will get tax rebates." John still said. He replied with a smile. The United States is a country that strictly cracks down on tax evasion. They are always very concerned about such things. As long as you dare to evade a dollar of tax, the U.S. government will not mind spending millions of dollars to hire lawyers to fight you in court. Meet. Don¡¯t think that the U.S. government is a fool. They spend millions of dollars just for one dollar. Because if you evade taxes for a dollar, the judge will definitely rule against you in the end. As a loser, you not only need to pay a dollar in tax, but also need to pay the legal fees of the million-dollar legal team hired by the U.S. government for you. So in the United States, you must not try to evade taxes, it will definitely be a nightmare experience. However, U.S. law does not explicitly prohibit tax avoidance. As long as you do not violate the law, the government will not care about how you avoid taxes. It is not impossible to even ask the tax bureau to pay you money. Of course, this must be permitted by law. OK. As a wealthy person in the United States, the first thing you want to do is not how to make money, but how to deal with the tax collector. If you don¡¯t know how to avoid taxes reasonably, then maybe you were a billionaire last year, but you will become a multimillionaire this year because of taxes. So don¡¯t blame those rich people in the United States who never save money when they have money. Instead, they spend money after they get it, whether it is to expand production or buy luxury goods. This does not mean that they all like this, but because American eggs Painful taxes, if they don't spend the money, then sooner or later the money will be lost?It's going to be the US government. John gave Li Mingbao two ideas. One was tax avoidance, so the tax he would have to pay would be about 60 million, and the other was open source. Anyway, this tax collection matter is a fixed time every year, and it is obviously not the time yet, so Li Mingbao still has some time to spend the tax that needs to be collected reasonably. If you spend the money, you won't have to pay taxes. It is better to spend your own money than to have your money taken away by your American grandson. Therefore, Li Mingbao humbly accepted John's suggestion. Although 60 million is not a small amount, compared with the previous huge tax, 60 million does not seem so impressive. Moreover, these 60 million Li Mingbao can also be used to buy things, and tax refunds will be reasonable at that time. In the end, the money collected by the US government may only be a few million dollars. Although it is not small, compared with that huge number To put it bluntly, this amount of money is just drizzle. When Li Mingbao was in Hong Kong, he was considered a rich man in spending money. But in the United States, this kind of wealthy behavior would be childish. Therefore, Li Mingbao had to ask John for advice on how to spend money. And John didn¡¯t hold back at all, letting Li Mingbao understand how to spend money. For example, doesn¡¯t Li Mingbao own a film company? How can a film company that doesn't buy a building as its base have the nerve to be called a film company? After you buy a base, you still have to buy equipment, right? Can't the film company's equipment always be rented? If you want to build a luxurious base with complete company facilities, US$10 million is almost enough. ¡°In this way, ten million US dollars have been spent. As a person who has to spend money, you have your own company and you also need to know how to enjoy it. How can you enjoy it if you don't buy a villa in the United States? Housing prices in the United States are not high, except for luxury houses. With 20 million US dollars, you can definitely buy a super luxurious house in the United States, and it also comes with an independent manor. You can use it as your own private ranch. In fact, houses are all included, and pasture is what costs a lot of money. Thousands of acres of pasture can definitely meet your needs. In mainland China, buying a house or a car is definitely a big expense, but in the United States, buying a house or a ranch may be a big expense, but buying a car is not a big expense. For five million U.S. dollars, you can basically get it all. All the famous cars in the world are locked in their own garages. So it doesn¡¯t cost much to buy a car. But as a person with status and status, you must buy a private jet so that it can match your status. In these days and months, you can definitely get a top-notch privately-tailored aircraft for US$20 million. If you buy some helicopters for daily use, you can almost offset the tax of US$60 million. . After hearing John's plan, Li Mingbao finally understood why there are hundreds of thousands of private jets in the United States. This is definitely not a normal demand. A large part of the reason is because some guys, like him, Reasonable tax avoidance is required. That's why there are so many private jets. John¡¯s enlightenment immediately gave Li Mingbao the consciousness to become a rich man. He also doesn't want to buy these things, at least he doesn't need them yet. He is still poor and can still live in poverty and poverty. But the problem is that the tax rate in the United States forces Li Mingbao to buy these luxury gadgets, otherwise his money will be handed over to the tax bureau in vain, and in the end not even a hair will be left to him. So Li Mingbao immediately said to John: "It seems that I need a professional team of lawyers to solve my current problem, so Mr. John, I hope you can find a suitable team for me." "No problem, I'll take care of it. , In fact, I think your troubles can be solved by finding a company, that is American Express. They are professional in this and have great advantages in service. Finding them will be the most helpful to you. "John is very enthusiastic. introduced to. "American Express? Indeed, they are the most suitable." Li Mingbao was very sure of John's recommendation. Because American Express is a professional at work, no matter what kind of work it is, as long as you pay, they can give you a satisfactory explanation. So, Li Mingbao, who was originally going to talk to John about the new movie he brought from Hong Kong after discussing the dividends and copyrights, had to find American Express to help him tide over the difficulties because of the damn tax rate in the United States. Because of John¡¯s introduction, Li Mingbao received a warm reception after contacting American Express Company. Although Li Mingbao was still a little-known figure in American Express before, after John introduced him and indicated that American American Li Mingbao was a low-key billionaire, American Express naturally responded quickly. Regarding Li Mingbao's series of questions, American Express said that there is no problem. In terms of taxation, they have a professional team and can even reduce the actual tax to only 50 million US dollars. As for the money that Li Mingbao needs to spend, American Express will also help. VeryIt will be handled within ?? time. Isn¡¯t it just buying land, cars, equipment, and planes? These businesses are their traditional businesses. If Li Mingbao does not need the original aircraft, they can even find suitable second-hand goods for Li Mingbao immediately and trade them on the spot.
