9 o'clock sharp
Many people gathered in piles on the street. Many people were silent. It seemed that many people were waiting and looking at the information on a page. Just yesterday, the city's new population identity information was registered, and everyone got it.
I got a virtual electronic ID card, and everyone found that their ID cards had the four characters "citizen level" on them.
Everyone is a level 5 citizen. After clicking on it, you can view most of the personal information, as well as the tax rate that each citizen level should pay. Taxation is a standard that directly affects the upgrading and downgrading of citizen levels. Within three months
If you cannot pay taxes corresponding to your citizenship level, your citizenship level will drop.
The tax for level 5 citizens reaches 9%, and the lowest level 1 citizens also need to pay 5% tax, and 5% is the starting point for personal income tax. Of the monthly tax, 30% goes to the business department and 40%
The remaining 30% will be returned to the local area and used for urban construction.
When Congress just introduced this policy a few days ago, everyone was protesting and speaking out. However, no matter how much they protested, many people gradually stopped saying anything. Such personal income tax collections are much lower than in the past, but every day
Taxes must be paid every month. Many people evaded taxes in the past. Most people in the city are aware of these things.
At this time, everyone was struggling with another matter. Over there was a vote involving the whole city, and a law called the Expulsion Law was officially launched.
There are very detailed provisions. For many crimes and people with a citizenship level of 0, the detention period is three months. If they still cannot pay taxes for three months, they will be deported. If they pay taxes for three consecutive months, the citizenship level will be reduced.
It can keep going up.
Some people have noticed the cruelty of this newly introduced expulsion law, while others are applauding it, because according to the law, some criminals will be directly expelled from Brilliant City and headed to the barrier area.
Nowadays, with the efforts of a large number of mutant workers in the city, the damage caused by the riot three months ago has been repaired, and Angus construction is also starting normally.
Most people who deposited money into Hillman Financial also received corresponding compensation, and some even used some illegal means to obtain compensation in excess of the amount. Next, Congress will gradually begin to implement an electronic cash transaction system, which will
Gradually recycle the currency in everyone's hands and provide everyone with an electronic wallet for transactions.
The sudden changes in the city have made many people miserable, especially those at the bottom. Many of them do not plan to pay taxes at all, because many of them have low incomes. The average income in most areas at the bottom is only 500.
The level of citizen income corresponding to the tax is quite strict, from the lowest income of 500 yuan to the highest income of 5,000, from 5% to 14%. Those exceeding 5,000 will be taxed for every 1,000 yuan higher, with the highest being only
20%.
This kind of tax is very beneficial to many high-income earners, because it is much lower than in the past, and the only stable thing in Bright City is the price. The per capita daily consumption from the bottom is 10 yuan, the middle class is 30 yuan, to the upper class is 100 yuan.
This span has clearly explained everything.
Merchants' taxes will also be based on comprehensive factors such as the size of the company and whether it uses technologies opened by the Brilliant City Congress, and will not exceed 30%, and most merchants will receive tax subsidy bonuses within the region that month.
Ordinary people enjoy subsidies for the use of electricity and water brought by taxes, as well as telephone network and other expenses, including medical care and education.
Such a system seems reasonable to many people, but it is unreasonable to many people. Everyone already has the answer in their mind. After large-scale population registration, the number of voters this time was 21,034,958.
, all people over 10 years old can vote in their own identity information.
For those who do not have mobile phones with light and shadow, there are voting panels next to some electric poles on the street. A 7-day voting will determine whether to pass the expulsion law. Once passed, most of the corresponding parts of the law will take effect.
If you do not vote, you will be deemed to have abstained. Voting will begin at 12 o'clock sharp, and many people are discussing this issue.
"I think this is good. It would be better for those lazy guys to get out as soon as possible. The burden on society will be smaller and the work places will be freer."
A man was sitting in a restaurant chatting casually, but many people around him were looking at this man with solemn expressions.
"I don't think this is good!"
One of the women said, but immediately the man spoke.
"What's wrong? If you can't even afford the minimum tax of 15 yuan a month, staying here is just a waste of food and land."
The man said with a smile. His monthly income is 4,000 yuan. Although he has to pay 11% tax, he can get good welfare subsidies in the area and some welfare funds from the company. A tax of 300 to 400 yuan is not enough for a man.
What kind of.
"This will only cause many people to fail and fall and never get up again."
Many people in the restaurant began to speak out, but many people were still silent because no one knew what the final result would be. The voting results were real-time and could be seen on the Congress interface.
Anxiety and uneasiness began to appear among the crowd, and the problem of mutants was also contained. Congress has come up with an effective vaccine against mutants, which can effectively control the unstable genes in the mutants' bodies, but it requires annual vaccination.
Just fine.
The employment income of mutants has also been restored, and adjustments have been made. The mutant group has a tax rate specifically targeted at the mutant group, which is higher than that of ordinary people. Most ordinary people have no complaints.
"How can you live in a place like the Barrier Zone? I really don't know what the Congress thinks. Even if the citizenship level is zero, what about the previous contributions to the city?"
As soon as the speaker finished speaking, the man who just spoke immediately stood up and said.
"Even if there is no income, the tax will be based on 5% of the minimum income of 500 yuan a month, which is only 25 yuan. And if the person is old and frail and has no ability to work, after identification, only 3% of the 300 yuan will be paid.
After paying taxes, can’t you get out even 9 yuan a month? If you earn a little more when you are young, when you are old, it will only be 9 yuan a month, which is only 108 yuan a year, and you can also enjoy medical subsidies in the region, and even
For some serious illnesses, wouldn’t it be nice if it could be 100% free?”
The man said, and many people were speechless. Such a system is indeed very reasonable. Although many people wanted to find faults, they soon found that they had no way to do it, because the policy introduced by the Congress this time included
It provides many things, which can be said to be comprehensive, and even disadvantaged groups have received subsidies.
Marginal groups such as orphanages, nursing homes, disabled households, and mental hospitals also receive corresponding subsidies, and part of the tax money will be used to subsidize these groups.
The internal affairs department is also undergoing reforms and adjustments. Many people who used to be regional officers have been promoted to directors, and some directors have withdrawn from the management.
The most obvious one is Section 5, and there is news from within the Executive Section that Tamai, the section chief of Section 5, promoted the directors to the Board of Directors. Many directors were promoted by him.
What surprised many people the most was Section 1. Duan Kong, the former section chief, resigned, and a man named King Xue, whom he had never heard of, became the section chief. However, some people knew about it.
, King Xue is the principal of All Fields College, and he is also a student of God’s College. His past resume is almost blank, but many people think that King Xue is more capable than the former section chief Duan Kong.
.
In the month since King Xue took office, the face of Section 1 has taken on a completely new look, and many regulations that seem to be in line with public expectations have been issued.
And now it is very convenient to go to Section 1 to handle things. King Xue has simplified a lot of complicated processes, and the management offices of Section 1 in various places have also become much more convenient. It is very convenient to handle many things, especially the review of qualifications.
, are very relaxed. In most industries, you only need to apply to get the qualification immediately, and the qualification review will not start until three months after the official operation.
This first-in-first-out and then-review system has been recognized by many people. In the past, applying for relevant qualifications in Section 1 required a long process of reviewing qualifications. The operator needed to provide relevant items or certificates that met the qualifications stipulated by the city. This process is
Those that require joint review by Section 1, Section 6, Section 7, Section 8 and Section 9, and in some special businesses, will also need to undergo review by Section 5.
But now you only need to go to Section 9 to apply for commercial activities first. As long as there are no problems in Section 9, you can immediately go to Section 1 to get the qualification certificate and start operating. However, you need to review the qualifications after three months. As long as you pass it, you can get it.
The business qualification lasts for half a year, and then the second review will extend the qualification to one year.
If you fail to pass the qualification examination at any time, you will face high fines and a ban on operating in the industry for three years, and you will even need to bear legal responsibilities.
The city's economy began to be active again. King Xue began to specify this set of policies as soon as he took office, which made many people feel that the business line had changed, and there was an overall change.
The most noticeable change is that the administrative department now feels that its work is much more efficient than before.
10:39
King Xue sat quietly in the section chief's office, quietly looking at the information on the light and shadow screen. In front of him stood the section chiefs with their heads lowered, as well as some ordinary section members.
"Okay, you can report to the corresponding departments tomorrow."
"Lord Xue Wang, I..."
A regional officer was about to say something, but King Xue immediately pressed the rim of his square glasses and then said with a smile.
"We don't need garbage in Section 1. Okay, please take care of everything today."
King Xue is checking some people every day. At this time every day, people from Section 1 from all over the country are always called over. Section 1 is the section with the largest number of people besides Section 3 and Section 5.
And King Xue has begun to replace some students from all-field colleges. They will soon pass the formal examination. Now they are just special recruits, but King Xue has also given many students good positions in the special recruitment. The lowest is
Squad leader.
Most of the people who are cleared will go to Section 3 and Section 5. They don't need to use their brains. Most of the time they only need to put in physical effort.
Neither the section chief of Section 3 nor the section chief of Section 5 complained. This was something that King Xue had discussed with them early in the morning.
The more than 10 people in front of me all looked very dissatisfied, because Section 3 and Section 5 are known as the two most tiring and least promising sections of the Acting Section, and there are still certain risks, especially now that crimes are occurring frequently across the city.
, many people are reluctant to go.
"I resign!"
A clerk said and walked over. King Xue looked at him, then nodded, and quickly pulled out a resignation document. The clerk didn't think much about it. After signing it, King Xue immediately approved it.
He turned around angrily and slammed the door.
Soon everyone in the office left, and Julia walked in.
