United states tax collector

Chapter 194 You can only rely on yourself

David shrugged, as if I had made that clear.

But his appearance made Bellamy, who was already furious, even more furious. He said fiercely: "Okay, there are only a few days left in the assessment period. I want to see what you do with the GCO funds." Get it!"

It's already reached the point where they've broken their skin, so there's nothing for him to beat around the bush.

"Okay, you'll see."

David stopped talking nonsense, stood up, opened the door and left. After walking out of the Long Beach branch building, he immediately dialed a number.

At the same time, the D.C. General Administration.

As the assessment period approaches, Donald also has a lot of things to do, and he is extremely busy.

And just as he was carefully looking at the data from branches across the country, his thoughts were interrupted by the vibration of the phone on the desktop.

He picked it up and looked at it. When he saw the caller ID was David, he immediately picked up the call: "What's the matter David?"

"Deputy Director Donald, something happened here. I think it is necessary to report it to you and the senior management of the General Administration. The thing is like this..."

David detailed the fact that GCO's funds were frozen.

After hearing what he said, Donald, the deputy director of the General Administration, was also stunned on the spot.

GCO company?

A single tax payment of nearly 80 million?

How did David do this?

"Deputy Director Donald, what I actually want to say is that the Long Beach branch is clearly trying to prevent my tax money from being included in the account. I must appeal for this!"

The thoughts coming from the other end of the phone interrupted Donald, who was in a dazed state. When he came back to his senses, his face also darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Once your tax money is accounted for, then Bellamy of their branch will ·Hadike is 'finished', of course they don't want you to be included in the account, but don't worry, leave this matter to us, and we will give you justice!"

"Then I'll bother you, Deputy Director Donald."

After ending the call with David, Donald immediately picked up the landline phone next to him: "Riano, give you 10 minutes. I need a piece of information about GCO. In addition, notify the director, chief consultant...them, Meet in the conference room in 20 minutes!"

Putting aside the matter of the frozen funds, he was also very interested in the 80 million and the GCO company, but because we were on the phone just now, he couldn't explain it in a long way to get to the bottom of it.

Ten minutes later, Donald's secretary sent in information about GCO, and he immediately started reading it.

But as the information continued to come in, Donald's face gradually became confused.

According to data, GCO is one of the three largest private prisons in the United States, and it also cooperates with major law enforcement agencies such as the Department of Justice, FBI, and DEA. The network of relationships can be said to be extraordinary.

So the question becomes, what method did David use to make this company so willing to give 80 million?

After thinking for a while, Donald still couldn't figure it out, but there was one thing he felt more and more he had done right.

That is to transfer the elected candidates of the God-making Project to the western suburbs of Los Angeles branch.

If David is really elected this time, once he officially takes office in the Western Suburbs Bureau, the eight major film companies may not be enough for him.

After all, he had already squeezed out 80 million from the GCO company with such a complicated background network, and how could those major film companies be any better?

"Kekeke..."

The knock on the door interrupted Donald, who was lost in his thoughts. He had no choice but to say: "Come in."

"Mr. Donald, the Director and the Chief Counsel have already gone to the conference room."

"knew."

Donald immediately stood up, walked out of the office and headed towards the conference room.

When they arrived at the conference room, in addition to Obadiah and Vertonghen, all other senior officials from the IRS were also present.

It could be seen that many senior officials at the scene were still confused about Donald's sudden convening of such an emergency meeting.

But there are also some people, such as Vertonghen, Lahan and others, whose expressions are normal, as if they knew something in advance.

"Deputy Director Donald, did you call us here in such a hurry? What happened?"

Obadiah was the first to speak. He knew very well that if there was no big event, his deputy director would not be so anxious to call all the senior officials here.

"Yes, Director."

Donald sat down first, looked around at everyone, and then said: "Our god-making plan encourages everyone to compete fairly, but just now, I received a complaint from David of the Lake District Branch. He claimed that he had a tax , was maliciously frozen by the Los Angeles Long Beach branch. I think such a thing is extremely bad in nature!"

"What, the Long Beach branch froze one of David's taxes?"

"Wait a minute... isn't David's jurisdiction in Las Vegas? How can the Long Beach branch freeze his taxes?"

"The Long Beach branch maliciously froze David's taxes. Is it true?"

Upon hearing what Donald said, there was an uproar at the scene, and many uninformed senior executives were even more confused.

Logically speaking, David's jurisdiction is in Las Vegas, which is just the state of Nevada.

And Los Angeles is located in California, which is completely out of reach. How come there was a conflict and the funds were maliciously frozen?

Obadiah was also in a confused state. He asked: "What's going on, Deputy Director Donald, please speak clearly!"

"The thing is, don't we have three top private prison companies in the United States? One of them is called GCO. Their business is located in Nevada, and David found out that this company evaded nearly 80 million in taxes. …”

"Etc., etc……"

Before Donald could finish speaking, Obadiah interrupted: "Deputy Director Donald, how much tax did you just say you evaded?"

"Nearly 80 million!"

After being confirmed again, not only Donald, but also many uninformed senior officials at the scene were shocked.

It has been two or three months since the black tax bill was introduced, but there has never been a single tax of nearly 80 million yuan.

How could this not surprise them?

"Keep talking!"

"Because this company is headquartered in Long Beach, Los Angeles, David had already gone to their headquarters and reached an agreement with the company's senior management. The company will transfer the nearly 80 million tax money to a designated account. , but the Long Beach branch suddenly jumped out and froze, that’s what happened!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Obadiah and many senior officials looked shocked again.

According to what Donald said before, since the GCO company is one of the three largest private prisons in the United States, it is no wonder that its background is not weak.

Moreover, for such a large legal company, the legal, financial, and tax personnel must be top-notch. How easy is it to force them to obediently pay such a large sum of tax money?

But David did it, which is too incredible.

"I know everyone is curious about how David did it, but what we want to focus on now is not that. What we want to focus on now is who gave the Long Beach branch the power to maliciously freeze the taxes of candidates for the God-making Plan. ?”

Donald's words made many people come to their senses instantly. A senior supporter of David immediately echoed: "Yes, the Long Beach branch is maliciously freezing David's funds. This is a violation."

"Bellamy Hardy is not in the Long Beach precinct, and there is no doubt that this is a violation."

"Who says this is a violation of regulations? I don't think so!"

Just as some senior executives who supported David were reprimanding him, a completely opposite voice made the atmosphere at the scene instantly quiet.

Everyone immediately turned around and saw that the person who said this was none other than Lahan.

"Deputy Director Lahan, what do you mean?"

Lahan replied calmly: "First of all, this fund is as high as 80 million, which is not a small amount. According to the principle of territoriality, the local branch has the authority to investigate whether this fund is black money and whether there is any money laundering. Or tax evasion and other behaviors, how can this be called malicious freezing? "

"Haha, there are only a few days left before the assessment period, and the Long Beach branch has the presence of Bellamy Hardy. You said this is not a malicious freeze. Do you believe it?"

"Deputy Director Lahan, you are a senior member of our Internal Revenue Service. You should know very well whether the reasons you mentioned are tenable."

"..."

Although Lahan's explanation is reasonable and well-founded, considering the existence of Bellamy as a candidate in the Long Beach precinct, it is untenable to a discerning eye.

"To be honest, I have just contacted the Long Beach branch. The answer they gave me is that the funds can be unfrozen immediately, but the premise is that David must explain the details and cooperate with The Long Beach branch’s review work, but David is unwilling to disclose it, so the Long Beach branch naturally needs some time to review it, so I say this is not a malicious freeze!”

As soon as Lahan said this, many senior officials who had supported David just now did not react for a moment.

However, Donald's mind was still flexible, and he immediately retorted: "Deputy Director Lahan, our IRS has the right to keep confidentiality for taxpayers. This is what Director David did in compliance with regulations. Is it true for the Long Beach branch? Do not you know?"

"Yes, the case belongs to David's side. Why should he explain the details to the Long Beach branch? Even if he wants to explain, he should explain it to the leader of his local branch!"

"Haha, the Long Beach branch asked David to explain the details. I'm afraid it's not just for review, right?"

After Donald's rebuttal, other senior executives who supported David immediately reacted.

"alright."

Seeing that the two sides were having a heated argument, Vertonghen finally spoke, but when he opened his mouth, everyone consciously shut their mouths.

"Actually, I have learned about this matter just now. According to the information I received, this 80 million tax is not a black tax generated through the black tax bill, but through the recovery of the GCO company's previous evasion. It comes from taxes.”

"For this god-making project, we have chosen the spokesperson for the black tax bill, so I think that even if this tax is unfrozen, it cannot be added to David's original tax performance. What do you think?"

Vertonghen's words were groundbreaking, and immediately stunned the David supporters headed by Donald.

Wasn't this 80 million tax collected through the black tax bill?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems...

GCO is not a gang or a drug trafficking organization, but a formal company. How could it have so many illegal gains?

And since David received 80 million, the bulk of it must be that GCO had engaged in tax evasion before, but the IRS failed to detect it.

"Consultant Vertonghen is right. I have information submitted by the intelligence departments of several branches. They have an assessment of the black tax of GCO prisons. The black tax of each prison is about 1-2 million US dollars. No. It could be as high as 80 million."

"So, even if this tax is unfrozen by the Long Beach branch, it cannot be used as capital for the election of the god-making plan."

Lahan placed a piece of information he brought on the table.

The senior officials of David's support group took over and inspected them one by one.

After pressing the button quickly, their expressions became ugly.

Because according to the data, it is indeed correct. Even if all the prisons in a state's GCO are added together, it is impossible to calculate such a large amount of black tax revenue.

Then it can be roughly concluded that the nearly 80 million tax amount David received was not collected through the black tax bill.

Since it was not collected through the black tax bill, it seems that people like Vertonghen believe that this tax cannot be used as campaign capital for the god-making plan, which is somewhat reasonable.

Seeing the silence among David's supporters, Lahan, Vertonghen and others here showed a bit of complacency.

But before they could be happy for long, Obadiah's next words made their expressions dim.

"I think you all need to understand that when the plan to create a god was finalized, although it was said that if you use this bill to create the highest tax performance, you will be elected, it did not say that other aspects of taxation will not count!"

As soon as Obadiah said this, Donald and others suddenly reacted.

That's true.

At that time, they only agreed that whoever produced the highest tax performance with this bill would be elected, but they did not stipulate that tax performance in other aspects would not count.

"Director Obadiah, although this was not clearly stipulated at the beginning, the person chosen is the spokesperson of the Black Tax Act after all. Everyone agrees that this must be the tax revenue created by the Black Tax Act. What about David's tax? Can count..."

It was Lahan who voiced his doubts.

Obadiah also looked at him and replied: "Deputy Director Lahan, I think you are putting the cart before the horse."

"ah?"

Lahan looked confused.

"Let me ask you, what was the original intention of drafting the black tax bill?"

"For tax purposes, of course."

"Isn't that right? The black tax bill is essentially for taxation, so as long as it can raise taxes, that's the best thing. Do you think it is necessary to distinguish between black taxes and non-black taxes? Is this important? If it is Bellamy ·If Hardy and Brown Soros have this ability, then I will definitely support them!”

Rahane was speechless, as were supporters of Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy.

First of all, the god-making plan does not clearly stipulate whether it must be black tax or white tax. Therefore, they used David’s 80 million to attack David, which was not black tax. This is tenable. Now Obadiah’s rebuttal: It is equally defensible.

To put it simply, this matter is actually a matter of public speaking and public speaking, and mother-in-law speaking to mother-in-law.

And the key point is that Obadiah is the boss of the Internal Revenue Service, so what he says is naturally weighty, and he has said it for this purpose. Even if others want to refute, they have to weigh it.

"Okay, since Director Obadiah said that the god-making plan does not need to distinguish between black taxes and white taxes, that's no problem."

"But... I think that since this matter is on the territory of the Long Beach branch, and the Long Beach branch thinks that there is a problem with the tax and has frozen it, then I also think that we should not interfere with their decision. After all, we also If you don’t understand the local situation, you can’t influence them to make the right decision!”

This time it was Vertonghen who spoke out.

And his words were obvious.

That is telling Donald, Obadiah and others that since you said there is no need to distinguish whether this fund is black tax or white tax, then we will take this step back.

But the local IRS has frozen the tax, and I can’t take this step back!

Obadiah Donald and others were not fools, so they naturally understood. At this time, their brows also tightened.

"Consultant Vertonghen is right. Since the Long Beach branch has frozen the funds, their director and other senior officials must have their own considerations. If we don't understand the situation, we shouldn't interfere indiscriminately. !”

"Since Director Obadiah said there is no distinction between black tax and black tax, then I have no problem. As long as the funds are approved by the Long Beach branch, then it will be on David's head."

"..."

With the support of Vertonghen, the chief adviser, supporters of Bellamy and Brown also gained confidence and began to attack the issue of freezing funds.

The reason is simple.

Even if this tax money can be used as capital for the god-making project, it only needs to be frozen for a few days by the Long Beach branch.

Once the god-making plan is over, their goal will naturally be achieved.

By then, the deal is done, let alone returning the funds to David. Even if an extra 80 million is given to David, what's the use?

Seeing that Lahan and others were adding fuel to the fire, Donald and other David's supporters became even more anxious. They could only turn their attention to Obadiah, hoping to stand up and say a few words.

But what made them regretful was that Obadiah was still looking confused, but he had no intention of speaking again.

"Chief Obadiah, what do you think?"

Vertonghen asked again on the opposite side.

Obadiah was silent for about ten seconds before replying: "Since Consultant Vertonghen thinks so, then so be it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of Donald and other David supporters suddenly turned pale, while the supporters of Brown and Bellamy all looked shocked and almost gave high-fives in celebration.

After the meeting dispersed, Donald came to Obadiah's office immediately and asked: "Director, why do you want to leave the decision-making power to the Long Beach branch? They will definitely not release the tax money before the assessment period is over. of!"

"Do you think it was me Donald?"

Obadiah glanced at him and explained: "As you can see, Advisor Vertonghen has already stood up, and this white tax can be used as campaign capital for the god-making plan. This is already a step back for him. You can’t even veto the freezing of funds, so you won’t give him any face, right?”

"This...sigh."

Donald wanted to say something more, but when he thought that Vertonghen was the chief adviser to the General Administration, and was said to have a closer relationship with the president than Obadiah, it was normal for Obadiah to be wary, and then he could only sigh helplessly. Take a breath.

"This David has even managed a company as difficult as GCO, and there are still four days left. Even if he doesn't need the tax money, he may not be able to win against Donald."

"I hope so. I'll tell him the news first and let him prepare first."

Donald opened the door and left. After returning to his office, he immediately dialed David's number: "Tax Commissioner David, I'm afraid this will make you regretful."

"How to say?"

"Your 80 million yuan should not be a black tax but a white tax, right?"

"Yes, this is indeed the amount of tax that GCO companies combined had evaded before the Black Tax Act."

"So, supporters of Bellamy and Brown on the General Administration side use this as a point of attack, saying that they are now the spokesperson for the black tax bill. White taxes cannot be used as campaign funds, and the director and I have abolished Jiuniu The power of two tigers can be regarded as overwhelming, but as a price, the Long Beach branch freezes your funds, and there is nothing we can do here."

"Okay, I'll handle this myself."

Donald thought that David on the other end of the phone would be very depressed after hearing the news, but what he didn't expect was that David was not depressed at all, which surprised him, and then asked: "Okay, okay?" If you need anything else, please contact me again.”

"Okay, bye Deputy Chief Donald."

In the center of Long Beach District, in a cafe opposite Hailun International Trading Company, David put down the phone with a sneer on his face.

He knew that Bellamy must have some confidence if he dared to freeze his funds.

But what I didn't expect was that they actually found out that his funds were not black taxes and could not be used as capital for the God-Building Project with such strong excuses.

It’s a bit ridiculous!

But the good thing among misfortunes is that Donald fought for and confirmed that the free tax can also be used as capital to compete for the god-making plan. Next, as long as he gets the funds frozen, Bellamy and Brown's supporters will I have nothing to say!

"What did the General Administration say about the tax chief?"

Nissen saw something was wrong with the situation and immediately asked.

"It is impossible to ask the General Administration to help unfreeze the funds. We can only rely on ourselves."

"What, what's going on with the high-level officials at the Bureau? It's obviously Bellamy from the Long Beach Bureau who did this. How can they tolerate this kind of behavior?"

Neeson, Simon and Bucky all three were dumbfounded.

Although they had known for a long time that Bellamy was being protected by someone at the General Administration, the senior management of the General Administration couldn't blatantly steal their tax money, right?

As for other high-level officials, no one can speak for them?

"Okay, it doesn't matter if they don't care."

David already had a back-up plan. Since the General Administration did not care about this matter, as long as he dealt with the Long Beach branch, the funds would naturally be released.

Although the three Nissens were still full of doubts, seeing David's unwillingness to say more, they did not dare to ask any more questions.

As time passed by, it soon came to 5.30 minutes.

At this time, in the Hailun International Trading Company opposite, a large number of employees who were off work began to come out one after another.

Soon, the appearance of a tall, thin man with glasses attracted his attention.

[Name: Trevicorn Martin. 】

[Occupation: Tax Director of Hailun International Trading Company. 】

[Income: monthly legal income of 56,000 US dollars, illegal income of 2.3 million US dollars. 】

[Income details: On December 23, a batch of goods shipped from the port made a profit of US$500,000 through false tax declaration. On December 31, a batch of goods handled by the company at the port made a profit of US$500,000 through accounting. On January 11 day……】

[Tax payable: US$910,800. 】

"Go and bring him to see me, keep a low profile!"

David knew that people from the Long Beach branch were probably monitoring him, and although he tried his best to hide his whereabouts when he came here this time, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be noticed by the other party, so everything had to be kept low-key.

Following David's instructions, Neeson and Bucky also put on their hats and headed in the direction of the tall, thin man with eyes.

Not long after, the man with glasses was brought over. After seeing David, he asked with some confusion: "Are you...?"

As the tax director of a company, he was very familiar with the IRS personnel at the Long Beach branch of the IRS, but he had never seen the faces of David and Nissen.

And if Nissen hadn't shown his tax badge just now, he wouldn't have followed so easily.

"No need to guess, we are not from the Long Beach branch. I am from the Las Vegas branch. My name is David."

"David...wait...!"

The man named Trevicorn seemed to have remembered something, and began to look at David with wide eyes. After a while, he confirmed: "You are the Dai who led the armed attack into the Indian tribe." Chief Wei?"

"It seems you know me."

"After all, my job is related to taxation. How could I not have heard of you..."

Trevicorn began to feel uneasy because he didn't understand what this notorious tax collector was doing when he came to Los Angeles to find him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, Director Ducoure of the Long Beach branch, should you be a classmate, right?"

Hearing this, Trevicorn groaned, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Yes, this is not a secret. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"On the 11th of last month, you asked him to give you a green light on tax matters, and finally gave him $80,000, right?"

"No, nothing!"

Trevicorn's expression changed drastically, and then he retorted.
