Chapter 441

.

As a developing country, Xia Xia welcomed foreign investment. In order to attract more foreign investment, Xia Xia had a special preferential policy for foreign investment.

Any productive enterprise invested by foreign investors in Xia Xia that had been operating for more than ten years could enjoy two years of tax exemption and three years of 05% corporate income tax reduction starting from the first profitable year.

If it was established in the central and western regions, foreign investment enterprises encouraged by the state could apply for three years of 05% corporate income tax reduction after two years of exemption and three years of 05% tax reduction.

If it was an advanced technology enterprise invested in the central and western regions, the preferential treatment would be even better. They could receive three years of exemption and six years of 05% tax reduction.

What Shi Lei wanted was three years of exemption and six years of 05% tax reduction!

The companies under Mirui Technology met most of the requirements. For example, foreign investment. Mirui Technology was registered in the Cayman Islands' Offshore Zone. A company established in Xia Xia was a proper foreign investment.

Even if the real boss of Mirui Technology was someone from Xia Xia, it did not change its status as a foreign investment.

Secondly, all the subsidiaries under Mirui Technology were established in Shuangqing City, which met the conditions of the central and western regions.

Thirdly, Dream Entertainment, Immortal Painting Company, and even Fantasy Technology were electronic and information technology enterprises in a broad sense. They met the requirements of Xia Xia's encouragement of foreign investment.

Fourthly, Fantasy Technology's dynamic behavior recognition technology and Yu Mo Medical Company's AIP artificial intelligence prosthetic technology were research and high-tech mechanical enterprises. They also met the requirements of Xia Xia's encouragement of foreign investment.

However, it would be a little difficult for Dream Entertainment Company to receive the preferential policies …

Bai Qiang was the chief of the Shuangqing City Police Department, not the deputy mayor in charge of business, nor was he the chief of the Investment Promotion Agency. He really did not know about these preferential policies.

"Brother Shi, wait a moment. I'll ask Old Meng!" Bai Qiang bluntly mentioned Meng Xun's existence. Because of the AIP artificial intelligence prosthetic limb, Bai Qiang and Meng Xun's relationship gradually became closer.

This time, the cooperation with Shi Lei was actually driven by Meng Xun. Otherwise, even though Bai Qiang held great power, he really could not decide the policy!

Li Chai pretended to play with his phone as if no one was around. In fact, he was very shocked. He did not expect Shi Lei's power to expand so quickly. However, Shi Lei still treated him like a brother, which warmed Li Chai's heart.

Shi Lei sat beside Li Chai and leaned back on the sofa. He was calculating silently in his heart. If the Shuangqing City government really gave them 8% tax exemption and 1% tax reduction, they might cry!

In 7552, Mr. Xia had already adjusted the tax policy. For foreign-invested enterprises, the corporate income tax was 70%. Including some deductions and allowances, the corporate income tax was about 76% to 78% in 7552.

This was a relatively large proportion. Take Dream Entertainment as an example. After World of the Brave was released, their annual income might exceed five billion yuan.

Even if the lowest tax rate was 76%, that would be more than 6 billion yuan!

If this tax was exempted, Shi Lei would laugh even in his dreams. He would definitely praise the Shuangqing City Government for being a good public servant!

Bai Qiang called Meng Xun. Meng Xun was waiting for Bai Qiang's information feedback. When he received Bai Qiang's call, he immediately ordered the experts under him to calculate Shi Lei's proposal.

The 8% tax exemption and 1% tax reduction policy was no small matter. As a city directly under the jurisdiction of Shuangqing City, it also needed to be reported to the higher-ups and let the State Affairs Council make the final decision.

In the office of the first deputy mayor of Shuangqing City, Meng Xun was waiting for the analysis results of the experts under him.

One of the middle-aged men with plain glasses shook his head at Meng Xun. "Mayor Meng, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to deal with. It doesn't completely meet the conditions. Although it can avoid some conditions, it's still far from meeting the 8% tax exemption and 1% tax reduction policy. "This middle-aged man was called Liu Di, Meng Xun's most outstanding think tank.

Meng Xun frowned. "Which ones meet the conditions, and which ones don't?"

"Dream Entertainment, Fairy Painting, Fantasy Technology, and Yumo Medical. These four companies are all in Shuangqing City, which is in line with the policies of the central and western regions. Among them, Fairy Painting Company and Fantasy Technology can be included in the 'new software company in the country' clause. They can be given a 7% tax exemption and 8% tax reduction policy. They can also agree to continue to be given a 8% tax reduction after 0 years. This is equivalent to 7% tax exemption and 1% tax reduction. It's only one year less tax exemption. For Fairy Painting Company and Fantasy Technology, this is already the limit! "Liu Di introduced.

Meng Xun nodded. "Continue!"

"Yumo Medical Co., Ltd. can be classified as' bioengineering ',' technology-modified machinery ', and' setting up a research and development center in Xia Xia '. These are three advanced companies with multiple advantages. After all, AIP's artificial intelligence prosthetic technology is the world's leading artificial intelligence technology. Even foreign countries don't have this technology. If it's reported to the State Affairs Council, it will pass the 8% tax exemption and 1% tax reduction policy. "Liu Di continued to introduce. Yumo Medical Co., Ltd. was the most successful company.

"What about Dream Entertainment?" Meng Xun asked worriedly. Although Meng Xun did not pay much attention to the online game market, from the information about Mirui Technology, he still understood that Mirui Technology's development focus was currently tilted towards Dream Entertainment.

Liu Di pushed his glasses up and shook his head helplessly. "Mayor Meng, regarding Dream Entertainment, even if you want 7% tax exemption and 8% tax reduction, it's still very difficult. First, Dream Entertainment's main business, 'The Brave World', is an online game. It's subdivided into the electronic entertainment industry and not the electronic software industry. Second, the online game operating company has a bad social impression in Xia Xia. Many middle-aged people see online games as a scourge. Third, Dream Entertainment's' The Brave World 'will definitely create a miracle. The tax they have to pay may even exceed 6 billion a year. Mayor Meng, are you sure you want to exempt them from tax? "

Liu Di was indeed Meng Xun's number one think tank. In just a few days, he was able to see through the future of Dream Entertainment and 'The Brave World'.

Meng Xun was shocked. '6 billion a year in tax? According to the calculation of the business tax of the game operating company, wouldn't Dream Entertainment's annual sales revenue be more than 0 billion? '

"Old Liu, are you sure Dream Entertainment's annual tax revenue will exceed 6 billion?" Meng Xun asked cautiously.

If Dream Entertainment's tax revenue really exceeded 6 billion a year, Meng Xun would not only not gain any political achievements, but he would also be in big trouble!

If Dream Entertainment's annual tax revenue exceeded 6 billion, even if Meng Xun did nothing, it would still be a brilliant political achievement if he could pull Dream Entertainment onto his boat!

"Mayor Meng, 6 billion in tax revenue should be Dream Entertainment's total tax revenue. For example, if Dream Entertainment operates in Xia Xia, the sales of the 'Game Point Card' will be handed over to the tax authorities of other provinces. Dream Entertainment can't make money all over the country and only pay taxes to Shuangqing City, right? "Liu Di explained.

This was also where Shi Lei misunderstood. He thought the tax exemption policy in Shuangqing City was also applicable to other provinces.

"I see!" Meng Xun was slightly relieved.

"Mayor Meng, even so, we still can't give Dream Entertainment a tax exemption. Otherwise, we won't be able to pass the audit by the State Affairs Council, "Liu Di reminded him.

"Old Liu, is there any way for Dream Entertainment to avoid paying taxes?" Meng Xun asked with hope. Reasonable tax avoidance and tax evasion were two different concepts!

Tax evasion was illegal, but reasonable tax avoidance was allowed and promoted as a financial method.

"I'm afraid there's no way to avoid it. After all, the investment for these projects is huge, and they're all well-known projects. All of them have to be reported to the State Affairs Council. The State Affairs Council will definitely not approve Dream Entertainment's tax exemption. "Liu Di shook his head regretfully.

15% of the corporate income tax had to be handed over to the national treasury, and 95% was left to the local treasury. The national treasury took most of it. Would the State Affairs Council approve Dream Entertainment's tax exemption application?

"Is there no way at all?" Meng Xun asked again.

"There's a little way. We can use Dream Entertainment's future tax revenue to purchase Fantasy Technology's behavioral motion capture program. In other words, the authorization fee for using the behavioral motion capture program will be offset by Dream Entertainment's tax revenue. "Liu Di came up with an idea.

Meng Xun's eyes lit up. "Old Liu, be more specific!"

"We can also use the method of cooperation between Fantasy Technology and Surround Security with Shi Lei. According to the number of cameras used, we will pay Fantasy Technology a license fee every month. However, this fee doesn't need to be paid monthly. It'll be settled once a year, and it'll be offset by Dream Entertainment's tax revenue. For example, we have more than 6.1 million cameras in Shuangqing City, and the annual authorization fee may be close to 855 million. We'll use Dream Entertainment's tax revenue to offset this fee. Moreover, we'll take the initiative unilaterally. If the authorization fee is higher than the tax revenue, then we don't need to compensate the authorization fee. If the authorization fee is lower than the tax revenue, then Dream Entertainment has to pay the tax to offset the authorization fee. "Liu Di's plan was obviously very good. Shuangqing City's government would take more advantage.

"Old Liu, Shi Lei won't accept such conditions, right?" Meng Xun said with some uncertainty.

Liu Di smiled and said, "That's Shi Lei and Dream Entertainment's business. Besides, we don't have to have such conditions. Just like Shi Lei, the three tax exemptions and six tax halves that he proposed was just his vision. He never considered that we could really give him this condition. "

Under Liu Di's persuasion, Meng Xun faxed the conditions that had just been agreed upon to Bai Qiang. He also called Bai Qiang and told him to try his best to persuade Shi Lei.

It was just that, would Shi Lei accept such conditions?
