Hearing William's words, all the lawyers laughed. "Mr. Devonshire, you have to know that not all clients only make money or lose money. If someone makes money, there will definitely be someone who loses money.
It's very beneficial for the National Bank to do this. When banks help clients buy and sell futures, they often put the money of two or more clients into one account. The part that makes money will be offset by the part that loses money. In this way, they don't have to pay capital gains tax in other countries. As long as the service fee is not more than 3%, the National Bank can make money. "
"In other words, the National Bank may think that the 3.4 billion dollars I earned is too little when the stock market is falling, because they have too many loss-making accounts that haven't been deducted. This will damage their reputation?"
"Yes, Mr. Devonshire."
"God, now I know that the banks in this world can operate like this. Lang Te, doesn't that mean they can make money no matter what they do?"
Lang Te shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not, Mr. Devonshire. They also often lose money. The banks do this more to make their reports more beautiful so that they can attract more customers. When the number of customers reaches a certain level, the 3% service fee is very considerable."
Lawyers and bankers were indeed the most popular professions for the rich in this world. William now liked these guys too much. He walked around the living room excitedly and said happily, "Lang Te, Lang Te, I'm your private lawyer.
"Ronte, I'm hiring you as my personal tax lawyer. In the future, all my tax issues will be handed over to you. Buddy, I like you, so your annual salary will be one million pounds, the same as Anthony."
Anthony looked at William with a dumbfounded expression and thought, "My annual salary is three hundred thousand pounds. When did it become one million pounds?"
William looked at the dumbfounded Anthony and suddenly reacted. He laughed and said, "Anthony, my friend, I forgot to tell you that your annual salary has increased. Just now, hahaha, you didn't hear wrong, just now. I'm very satisfied with your Yue Lida Law Firm. Buddy, you didn't hear wrong, you got a raise.
You're happy. "Anthony thanked him with a smile," Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. Thank you very much. "
The lawyers present were either partners or assistants of Anthony and Blunt. Everyone was happy to see that their two boss lawyers were making money. If the big boss was satisfied with their boss, it meant that they would have more work to do. One million was just to hire Anthony and Lang Te as William's personal lawyers. Taking on cases would bring in extra income, and they could also earn more money.
William was overjoyed today, but he did not get carried away. He waited for everyone to stop laughing before he voiced his concerns. "My actions in the stock market this time have attracted the attention of some people from the English Finance Department. Is it really okay to not pay taxes in England?"
Bronte lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "As long as the funds don't return to England, there won't be a problem. If they really want to return, they can go through the offshore company's account. But since the Ministry of Finance has already taken notice, Mr. Devonshire, I suggest that you declare the 300 million dollars in England this time.
After all, you are an Englishman. Your business and family are in England, so there can't be any obvious evidence that can be used against you by the Ministry of Finance. You don't have to worry about other countries. Even if they are suspicious, you don't have their nationality and your business is not in their country. You don't have to declare your personal income to them. "
"Well, let's just say that America paid 80 million to buy peace. How much did England pay?"
Bronte immediately replied, "78 million dollars."
William calculated in his heart. It seemed to be too much. "Isn't it 60 million dollars?"
Bronte said, "The income tax in England is 26% and the capital gains tax is 20%. But the two can be offset, so 26% is 78 million dollars. In fact, 26% in England is considered small. In the United States, after you pay 20% capital gains tax, you still have to pay 37% state tax. That's high, Mr. Devonshire."
"In addition to the 220 million dollars in the deal between me and Baishida, my four-story Devonshire Industries is 88 million dollars. In addition to the 300 million dollars this time, 26% of 388 million dollars. Then I have to pay 100 million dollars to the English government. This group of English vampires have never given me any benefits. They are so ruthless in collecting my taxes." William could not help but curse after he finished calculating.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire. To be exact, it's 108 million dollars." Bronte shrugged at William and said, "Mr. Devonshire, only death and taxes are eternal."
William, who had lost his temper, said helplessly, "Alright, I'll hand it over. Ronte, Anthony, if I hand over 100 million USD to the English government, they won't have any reason to find trouble with me regarding money."
Bronte and Anthony looked at each other, nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Devonshire, the only funds related to England are 388 million dollars. Even if they suspect that you have other funds in Switzerland, they can't find any evidence. If you don't mind using an offshore company to hide your shares, you can use this method to invest in England in the future."
William thought for a long time and said, "In other words, there is still a loophole. Even if they can't find any evidence now, if one day the Swiss National Bank is forced to open the customer's account, the English government will still use the money I have in Switzerland to trouble me, or even arrest me?"
This time, Bronte thought for a long time and discussed with the lawyers around him. Half an hour later, Bronte said to William, "Although we think that Mr. Devonshire's hypothesis is difficult to establish, since you have raised this issue, the result of our discussion is that this matter will be troublesome, but we are 90% sure that we can help you win this case.
Unless the English government changes the tax regulations in the future, it will not be a threat to you. But at that time, you can file a new application, because the existing law does not require you to declare your offshore company account overseas. This gives us a reason to win the case. Mr. Devonshire, you can rest assured that the worst result is to file a new application. "
Hearing this, William was finally relieved and nodded happily. "Very good, I am relieved. Guys, you are very good. This makes me very satisfied. Here is a gift for you."
After that, William took out a cheque and wrote a £700,000 cheque to Anthony and said, "Anthony, £700,000 cheque, £100,000 for you and Bronte, and £50,000 for the rest of the ten. This is my gift for you. Don't worry, guys, this is a cheque from the Swiss National Bank. You don't have to declare it in England. You are professionals in this area, so I won't say more about how to do it."
When the ten ordinary lawyers heard that William had given them £50,000 as a gift, they all shouted happily. Some of them only earned £60,000 a year, so this £50,000 was a windfall for them.
Voices of gratitude could be heard from time to time in the reception room. "Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. God bless you."
William laughed out loud. He was using this money to buy the mouths of these lawyers who did not have a high income. "Guys, this is just a greeting gift. If you work for me, you'll get a bonus in addition to your salary. Guys, I guarantee that your income will double in the future. If you're outstanding, you'll even get a few times or more. So, work hard for me!"
This afternoon at 2 pm, I will be forcefully promoted by the urban category. Please help me recommend it.
