United states tax collector

Chapter 317 Jeff's Gaffe

"The representative of the Dumb Amazon Group has nothing to say. It seems that this charge has been confirmed!"

"Suspected of nearly 10 billion US dollars in tax evasion, Amazon will suffer a lot this time!"

"Mason was eventually found guilty of tax evasion, but I don't know if this is the only one or if there are other charges later."

By this time, people watching through the live broadcast can already confirm that the Duma Amazon Group's tax violation charges have definitely been established.

Court scene.

David had already obtained the second document at this time and said: "Your Honor, in addition to the charge of value-added tax reduction, there is another point that is criticized by the Amazon Group, and that is that for so many years, it has been They receive tax subsidies from the government, but how exactly do they do it? I want to explain it to you first..."

And which crime does their group have that is more serious than value-added tax reduction and illegal receipt of tax subsidies?

Didn’t you say that Duma Mason has more serious crimes? Why is Dumason’s development involved now?

The most nervous people at this time are naturally Laqueluwa in the dock and the senior executives of the Dumason Group in the auditorium.

"I originally thought it was going to be over, but I didn't expect that the real drama seems to be starting now!"

At the same time, the people who were watching through the live broadcast were also furious.

In the auditorium, a senior executive of the Dumb Mason Group became nervous, and he reminded Jeff in a low voice.

"Mr. Jeff, you should have heard that this is an incident directly related to this case, and since the Los Angeles IRS wants to continue the prosecution, it should continue and be dismissed!"

At this moment, they were all staring at each other, racking their brains to guess what crime David would accuse them of next.

Just like the previous value-added tax reduction, they simply didn't understand how David was able to investigate so much confidential information about their group from so many regions in various states and cities in such a short period of time.

"Your Honor, in fact, although the value-added tax reduction and tax subsidies are serious, compared with the crime I am going to accuse Amazon Group of next, they are nothing more than child's play!"

He didn't know how much inside information David knew about this matter, but he knew clearly that the details of this matter must not be exposed, otherwise, the entire group may immediately be criticized.

On the stage, after Nicola spent about ten minutes reading David's second investigation report, she turned to look at the defendant's dock and asked: "The defendant's representative, according to the documents, in Montgomery City, Las Vegas Vegas... In order to receive local tax subsidies, you inject funds from other areas into the local areas to achieve the target. According to tax laws and regulations, this has constituted tax fraud. You'd better explain. "

When they thought that the group would be charged with the second crime, they felt only deep despair in their hearts.

"Okay Chief David!"

"Representative of the defendant, are you sure there are no objections to this investigation report from the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service?"

In the auditorium, many of the senior executives of Dumasson also had the same attitude.

Some people say that the reason why Amazon loses so much money in logistics is because of the money it earns from other places, such as commodities and merchants, and then has the money to subsidize it.

"What, why can Jeff suddenly lose control?"

If you receive tax subsidies in violation of regulations, you will receive more than 1 billion. The value-added tax reduction is even more exaggerated, directly involving nearly 10 billion in tax funds. However, are these just childish?

So what crime will David accuse the Amazon Group of next?

"Oh, maika, besides these two charges, does Duma Mason have any other more serious charges?"

Before everyone could get too confused, David continued: "Of course, there is no real free lunch in the world. There is still a threshold to obtain this service. The condition is that each person needs to pay a membership fee of 139 per year. That's it. Enjoy this service.”

Seeing Jeff being so gloomy at the court hearing, the audience and the audience who were paying attention once again started to discuss it heatedly.

So at this moment, viewers on all major social platforms spoke out, calling on the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service not to agree to Jeff’s request.

Under everyone's gaze, David slowly said: "The reason why Amazon Group has been able to develop so fast and become the world's largest e-commerce giant is that besides the fact that their products are of high quality and their prices are lower than other platforms, There is another very important reason, that is, this platform provides ‘free shipping’ service. I believe everyone agrees with this, right?”

Listening to Nicola's question, Lackluwa Wilbur and others looked at each other, but in the end they lowered their heads helplessly. The data was clear, and they really couldn't think of any reason to refute.

A shout suddenly interrupted David's words, and everyone turned their heads to look. It turned out that the person who made the shout was none other than Jeff in the auditorium.

"Wait a minute... Director David just said that Duma Amazon implemented a clever plan to double transportation into hidden costs. Is this true or false?"

For some reason, their group's logistics costs were not disclosed based on the real figures, and now David actually knows the accurate figures.

Forget it, the most terrible thing is, once it is really traced, as David said, how can their group keep the cost at the lowest and free delivery, and still make money at the same time?

In fact, there was no need for him to remind him, and the hair on Jeff's hair stood on end at this moment.

"Your Honor, the logistics incident involves serious tax evasion and is directly related to this case. It is also a point of prosecution by our Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service."

"Director David, our group's logistics matters have nothing to do with this case. I don't think we need to discuss it too much here. Let's return to the topic. Since you are accusing us of value-added tax reduction and illegal receipt of tax subsidies, we have nothing to say. , then let’s judge it how it should be!”

"Your Honor, if we must continue, I request that we conduct a closed live broadcast, or we can reach an out-of-court settlement with the Los Angeles IRS. In short, we have to discuss it!"

Of course, Jeff is also a person who knows the importance of things. Let alone asking him to plead guilty to these two crimes at this moment, as long as he no longer pursues the logistics incident, he is willing to pay no matter how much blood is shed.

"I understand, Your Honor, as the representative of our group said, since the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service has sufficient evidence about value-added tax deductions and illegal receipt of tax subsidies, we will admit this crime for the time being and are willing to accept the punishment, but the logistics The incident has nothing to do with this, I request the end of this topic!”

"But after 17 years, states and regions have developed, so the requirements for tax subsidies have naturally increased. However, Duma Amazon can still receive tax subsidies every year. What is incredible is that today, their accounts have There is still a tax credit of 1.4 billion, but according to my detailed investigation during this period, in the past few years, they have actually received it in illegal ways. "

In short, there are different opinions, and not many people realize the key points.

"In that case, regarding the two tax violations of Dumason's value-added tax reduction and tax subsidy, Director David, do you have anything to add?"

"Mr. Jeff, this topic cannot be continued, otherwise our Dumb Amazon Group will be doomed!"

"Okay, without further ado, let me get to the point. According to the accurate data we obtained, Amazon's logistics costs last year reached 85 billion U.S. dollars. Compared with the number of customers, Amazon last year had at least Having lost 40 billion on its free shipping service, how can Amazon maintain the lowest cost and free shipping while still making money? Have you ever wondered where the money comes from?”

In the following time, David explained to the people present and watching the live broadcast how Amazon obtained tax subsidies, and finally said: "In the previous years, because states and regions needed to develop, they did provide tax subsidies to Amazon." Amazon has received a lot of subsidies, and Amazon has indeed received these subsidies legally and compliantly.”

These words made many people who were nervous and holding their breath a little confused.

But if we continue to investigate the amount of logistics, once the secret that their group has been hiding is really exposed, then their hundreds of millions of users will be in trouble?

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Laclorois."

Good guy, this accusation has been going on for a long time, and it is illegal to receive tax subsidies and illegal value-added tax reductions. Love is just an appetizer. The real meal is now being served?

For a moment, everyone held their breath and widened their eyes, fearing that they would miss every detail and word that followed.

Lakluwa realized that something was wrong, and he decided that he could not let the situation develop any further, even if he directly resisted these two charges.

While the senior management of Dumason Group was racking their brains to find a solution, the audience was also talking about this matter.

"Bang bang bang!"

After Lakluwa and others carefully checked it, the look of despair on their faces became more intense.

But they don't know whether they know it or not, but now that the investigation report is in front of them, they have no way to quibble, they have no choice but to admit defeat.

As soon as the words fell, Lakluwa and others in the dock felt as if they were struck by lightning, and everyone's eyes became as big as bells.

This is a secret that cannot be revealed!

"Mr. Jeff, I think you should understand one thing. If you want to speak in court, you must obtain the judge's permission. Otherwise, you will be expelled from your position. Do you understand?"

David glanced at him and continued: "Now let me unravel the mystery for everyone. On the surface, Amazon has borne most of the losses in logistics, but again, there is no free lunch in the world, and wool It has always been the fault of the sheep. In fact, Amazon has implemented a series of ingenious plans to incorporate shipping costs into the price of goods and become a "hidden fee". I call it a hidden tax. That is to say, consumers In fact, in addition to the annual fee of 139 US dollars, we are still paying for 'free shipping', but you consumers don't know..."

The scene suddenly became commotion, and Nicola had to bang the gavel three times to make everyone shut up.

Having said that, there was no need to wait for requests from Kerua and others. Nicola waved directly to the staff to take down the document report and hand it into their hands.

However, the viewers who were watching at this time quit. They also wanted to know whether Amazon really charged them hidden fees. If the live broadcast was closed or an out-of-court settlement was reached, how would they know about it? this matter?

"The VAT reduction has already involved a tax amount of tens of billions, and if this is considered a piece of cake, then the crime that Director David is going to accuse Dumb Amazon of will at least involve 20, 30, 40 billion or even more!"

"But then again, even if it requires a membership fee of $139, it is still quite cost-effective, which means that all purchases on the platform for a whole year are free of postage."

Yes, of course they are very clear that the group has indeed violated the rules regarding tax subsidies, and since David dares to point it out in public now, he must have evidence.

After all, although the two charges of VAT reduction and illegal receipt of tax subsidies are serious, at most they will only result in a fine, and the most serious is going to jail, which will not cause serious damage to the entire group.

David also stood up.

Jeff could only settle for the second best, and his last sentence, "Anyway, everything can be discussed", was actually just telling David that as long as you agree, we Dumb Amazon can be slaughtered by you!

At the trial, David shook his head and said, "Mr. Jeff, you should have come to talk to me about this earlier, but now it's in court, and the whole country is watching. Our IRS must be fair and open, so I'm sorry!"

"Just now, whether it was the charge of value-added tax reduction or illegal tax subsidies, Jeff didn't seem to be so out of control, but now he stood up and interrupted the trial. It seems that this matter must be very serious!"

In the audience, looking at the expressions of Laklua and others, Jeff knew that the charge of illegal tax subsidies was probably also confirmed, so he cursed with a sullen face.

After David's words, an uproar broke out at the scene.

After the words fell, Laklua and others in the defendant's seat looked a little darker.

"Fuck!"

"I know why Jeff is so anxious. Once this is confirmed, it will not only be suspected of tax evasion, but also suspected of defrauding consumers!"

Some people also said that Amazon earned advertising fees from additional advertising, so it had money to subsidize it.

But fortunately, David's next words relieved them.

"David..."

Jeff wanted to say something else, but at this time two court bailiffs were already walking straight towards him. In order to avoid being expelled, he could only swallow his words, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and sat back.
