"I need your help with specific matters..."
Mr. Shao, Mr. Huo and others are big businessmen and bosses on Hong Kong Island, so they naturally have a better understanding of things in the business world.
Is the Hong Kong government going to raise taxes?
This is taking action on the big bosses of Hong Kong Island!
There is no need for Zhuang Shikai to come up with a solution, the big bosses will gather together as a force and find a way to break the situation on their own.
This can be regarded as "each performing his own duties".
However, due to the political power used by the Hong Kong government, certain operations naturally require the help of political power.
Since ancient times - cooperation between government and business.
"rest assured."
"As a member of the Return Committee, since I have received instructions from above, I will definitely help everyone."
"Besides, even if there are no instructions from above, I will still stand on the same front as everyone." Zhuang Shikai smiled implicitly, tapped the tea tray twice with his fingers and said: "You know, I have a lot of property under my command."
He is also a big boss!
"Haha." Mr. Shao laughed loudly, clapped his hands lightly, and said straight to the point: "Although the Hong Kong government wants to increase taxes, tax regulations cannot be changed just by changing them."
"After all, taxation is related to people's livelihood and capital. Even if the Hong Kong government does not increase salaries tax, the increase in various profits taxes will still need to go through a thorough tax investigation and publish a solicitation of opinions before the tax increase regulations can be passed."
"As for the tax investigation stage, according to the rules, it is conducted by the Committee of Accountants..."
There are two major "committees" on Hong Kong Island, one is the "Barrister Committee" and the other is the "Barrister Committee".
Don't look at the fact that the "Barrister Affairs Committee" usually travels abroad a lot, and the barristers all wear wigs, go to court, and litigate cases, and they seem majestic.
In fact, the style of the Accounting Committee is not inferior to that of the Bar Committee.
Of these two major committees, one is responsible for the Department of Justice and the other is responsible for the Financial Secretary.
It can be said that he has one hand in law and one hand in economy, standing at the highest level of the affairs profession.
It's just that big accountants usually keep a low profile. They either drink at banquets or settle accounts in their firms every day. They don't have the same reputation as big lawyers who go to court or appear on TV news.
"I know that the three professions that Hong Kong citizens most want their sons to be are doctors, lawyers and accountants."
Zhuang Shikai said with a chuckle.
"Yes, if the Hong Kong government wants to amend the law, it needs to seek the opinion of the Bar Council."
“If the Hong Kong government wants to increase taxes, it also needs to seek the opinion of the Committee of Accountants. Moreover, because the tax involves a large business scope, investigation and implementation are more complicated, and it also requires the investigation of the accountants, so in theory, the rights of the accountants are more big."
"So, currently, the Accountants' Affairs Committee, like the Lawyers' Affairs Committee, is basically filled by ghost men."
Mr. Huo sighed from the side.
Hong Kong Island has different names for lawyers, barristers, accountants, and accountants.
Ordinary litigation lawyers.
Generally do bookkeeping accounting.
These two professions are basic professions, there is nothing to be proud of...
Only those who have joined the Bar Council and the Council of Accountants and have been given authority and aura by the government can be called "barristers" and "barristers".
Therefore, "big officer" and "big accountant" are both prestigious and respected professions.
Children from ordinary families who have no political background often end up as wage earners when they join the police force or the political arena. Even if they occasionally rely on hard work, ability, and academic qualifications to get promoted, they will not be able to climb to the top of the political arena, let alone the top.
If you are not lucky enough to ride the wave of the times, it often takes three generations of talents to polish the prototype of an official family, and seven or eight generations to accumulate foundation. Whether it can reach a high point depends on the right time, right place, right people, and it is indescribable. , a "fate" that cannot be exacted.
Therefore, even if most people know that being an "official" is more prestigious, they will not be too demanding. It is a dream for their children to become lawyers, accountants, and doctors.
After all, "big lawyers" and "big accountants" are at the top of the industry, their status is no worse than that of officials, they belong to the top of the "gentry" class, and they have the opportunity in one generation. One cannot become a real "barrister" or "big accountant". The average professional income of ordinary lawyers, accountants, and doctors is higher than that of most people, and their prospects are very high, and their social status is high, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.
Doctors and famous doctors are respected by others. Needless to say why?
"You mean...the taxes of several major companies are not clean?" Zhuang Shikai put down his tea cup and looked around at the crowd.
Mr. Huo and others laughed and said: "Where can the company's accounts be completely clean?"
"In the past, we were clean, but now? We were clean then."
Zhuang Shikai was silent for a moment and then spoke loudly: "If the tax is not clean, the most you can do is pay taxes and fines. This is a small problem."
"That's right." Mr. Huo nodded: "But when the tax bureau investigates tax information, it will take stock of all the profit accounts of the group company, and then these profit accounts will become the basis for the government to increase taxes."

"Secretary of Finance, Taxation Department." A middle-aged woman wearing a black suit and the badge of the Taxation Department on her chest pushed open the glass door and walked into the office area of the Finance Department. She held up a document and shouted: "Everyone, Please raise your hands and sit in your original position."
"Don't touch computers and files anymore!"
"Otherwise you will be subject to a criminal investigation."
Taxation Bureau, Tax Inspection Director, Ni Huanying.
She handed the document to an auditor, then stepped forward and looked down at the computer. The screen on the computer was a profit report.
A dozen inspectors wearing suits, with capable expressions, thin skin and tender flesh, followed Ni Huanying with menacing force.
Shaw Group.
Finance Office.
"Routine investigation, closed!"
"Take away the computer host and hand over all relevant documents for sealing!"
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and narrow eyes walked into the finance room.
A group of well-prepared tax inspectors immediately stepped forward, shut down the computer, took away the main unit, opened the folder cabinet, took away the cabinet and sealed the box.
"Excuse me."
"Please ask the financial director of the group to come with us." The man pushed up his glasses, squinted his eyes, and a glimmer of light burst out from the slits in his eyes.
"I am the financial director." A tall man with a handsome face and a Chinese character opened the office and spoke frankly.
"Poof!"
"Who asked you to do it!"
Shih Hing Group.
A young financial expert adjusted his glasses frame while the members of the tax bureau's investigation team were flipping through the filing cabinet and taking out the documents in the cabinet...
He quickly raised his hand to move the mouse, brought up a file, and hit the keyboard in an attempt to clear the file.
A tax inspector suddenly turned around, swooped forward, and immediately threw the financial expert down in front of his desk, smashing all the computers and keyboards on the desk. The scene was very violent.
"Don't move! Don't move!" The other two auditors quickly stepped forward, controlled the financial expert's hands, and firmly pressed the young man down on the table.
Enforcement on the tax front is low-key but powerful, and changes depending on the government's attitude.
Once you take action!
Act vigorously and resolutely!
At this time, a lady with a high-end aura walked into the finance room wearing a wide-legged suit, high heels, a women's suit, and all black.
"Let him go."
"I'm coming with you." The lady tiptoed, paused, and stared ahead: "I am Salina, the executive president and financial director of Shixing Group."
The inspection director of Shixing Group, Su Zhengxian, turned back to look at the woman, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then nodded and said: "Okay."
…
Patriotic Chamber of Commerce.
"Ding ding ding."
"Ding ding ding."
Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Shao and others are drinking tea.
Suddenly, everyone's cell phones rang one after another, some with calls and some with text messages, but when everyone picked up their phones and looked at each other, they all knew what was going on.
After Zhuang Shikai answered the phone, he put the phone on the tea table, picked up the kettle, and slowly filled the teapot with water.
"Have all companies been checked?"
Mr. Zhuang asked with a smile while making tea.
"Haha, you're so quick to strike."
"We were still making tea here, but others came to check on us first." Mr. Shao sighed.
Mr. Huo raised his finger and pointed at the sky: "It's not dark yet, so I can't wait to do something."
Mr. Song narrowed his eyes: "There should be an insider in our company's finance department. All my core bills and documents were taken away by people from the tax bureau."
"Yes, me too."
"Same." Mr. Huo and others agreed.
With the power and strength of the Tax Department, it is a very simple matter to secretly develop a few moles in the Finance Department.
After all, even if the people in the financial department are "our own people", they are only "senior employees". Workers in the company pay attention to working for money, but unlike those in the police force, they do not talk about loyalty, let alone and official hardtop.
"They took our core accounts and bills and could immediately calculate the industry profitability. To be honest, we have made a lot of money over the years, but the money earned by the Chinese does not mean that we should spend it on ghosts. Just for a few years You want to increase our taxes? Take advantage of us?" Mr. Huo narrowed his eyes: "This time, not only the Patriotic Chamber of Commerce, but all our Chinese chambers of commerce will not agree!"
"I have some connections in the Association of Accountants. I can pacify a few people, but I cannot pacify everyone."
"Zhuang Sheng, we have to leave it to you to settle those we have grievances with." At this moment, Mr. Huo and others looked at Zhuang Shikai.
Zhuang Shikai picked up the teacup, nodded slightly and said, "I'll help you, but after it's done, you have to donate a sum of money to the Charity Children's Fund every year. The amount doesn't need to be too much, it depends on your wishes."
Mr. Shao raised a finger: "Ten million."
Mr. Huo and others firmly raised their fingers and said: "Ten million!"
"U.S. dollars." Zhuang Shikai sipped the tea, put down the cup, and said with finality.
Mr. Huo, Mr. Shao and others looked at each other, turned their heads and said: "A certain question!"
…
"Damn it! Those street guys dare to check our taxes?"

Chairman "Jimmy" was wearing a suit, elegant and talented. He sat at the top of the circular conference table, lit a cigarette, and exhaled: "Kill them to death!!!"
This tax audit operation even alarmed the gangsters who had been immersed in it for a long time.
