Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?.

Chapter 442 Suspected of serious tax issues? !
Oda Shingo's annual income reached an astonishing level.

It is indeed at the nine-digit level, and not just barely within reach, but at the upper level.

The taxes he paid were already more than 2 million.

"Mr. Oda, it's like this. If calculated according to general income tax..." The tax accountant carefully provided Oda Shingo with the tax calculation form.

"..."Oda Shingo looked at the form carefully and couldn't help but sigh that it was no wonder that so many celebrities had to come up with various ways to avoid taxes.

Similar to China, Japan's personal tax rate can be as high as 45%.

Many Japanese people avoid taxes by setting up joint-stock companies and other means because the business income tax rate is lower.

But Shingo Oda is a veteran who has experienced many ups and downs. After carefully reading the report, he also pointed out some small details to the company.

"Here, here, and here, let's calculate it again."

"Hi Yi!"

Oda Shingo looked at the figure of more than 2 million that he had to pay, and of course he felt pain in his heart, but he also sighed:

I don’t have as much as Akira Toriyama’s 600 million yen, so it seems like I still have a long way to go to become the king of the comics world…

Oda Shingo solemnly told the tax accountant: "When it comes to paying taxes, you can't be careless at all. I don't ask for any tax avoidance methods, and you don't need to save me money."

He knows too many celebrities who have fallen into trouble because of tax problems.

Although real money is important, avoiding risks is more important. After experiencing his previous life, Oda Shingo saw wealth as just a number.

Paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen, and he has no intention of giving any discounts.

The tax accountant was quite surprised.

If other new celebrities saw the 45% tax amount, they would stamp their feet and scream.

I have never seen such a newcomer who sticks to the principles of paying taxes. I thought that by arranging an accounting firm to handle the taxes, they wanted to avoid taxes legally, but they actually had no desire at all.

As expected of the big devil in the comics world, he is really unpredictable! The tax accountant admires him.

"Hi! Don't worry, Mr. Oda." The tax accountant made up his mind to clear all tax worries for such an excellent client.

Afterwards, Oda Shingo spent a whole day at the office to check his tax matters, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he sign the annual tax declaration form.

This is only a preliminary report of large income, and it is not yet the new calendar year, so it is not the final report.

As Oda Shingo's fame grew, it also affected the attention paid to taxation.

Even the Tokyo Metropolitan Taxation Bureau of the Financial Services Agency took notice of Oda Shingo.

"Is Oda Shingo a celebrity in the comics world?" Tax controller Kurosaki stared at the celebrity's report with a scorching gaze that seemed to burn through the paper.

Kurosaki is in his forties, a career-driven age. As the general manager of the Tokyo Metropolitan Waterworks Bureau, he is a director-level official.

Since Tokyo's political status is one level higher, his status can be regarded as the head of the local tax bureau, with great authority. If he sets his sights on any joint-stock company, the president will tremble in fear.

"Yes! He is a well-known cartoonist who has emerged recently this year! In more than half a year, he has drawn a large number of comics, and they are very popular in the market."

"Check! Check hard!"

"Hi Yi!"

Taxation General Officer Kurosaki gritted his teeth as he clutched the list: "The guys on this list are definitely worth investigating!"

The most important factor in assessing a promotion in Japan's tax system is how many cheating rats are caught.

These newly popular stars and celebrities are the easiest to get caught with tax problems and are the favorite targets of the tax system.

But within two days, the subordinates came to report.

"Oda Shingo, I didn't find any suspicious tax issues! And he strictly paid taxes according to the 45% top tax point!"

"…How is it possible? How could there be such a new person! He earns hundreds of millions of yuan and yet he quietly pays 45% tax?!" General Manager Kurosaki was in disbelief, with a distorted expression on his face.

He still has a grasp of the level of his subordinates. It shouldn't be that he can't find out anything, right?

He simply couldn't accept that the newcomer would pay taxes honestly, so Kurosaki personally took people to check.

Oda Shingo's taxation was entrusted, so Kurosaki naturally went to the entrusted accounting firm for tax inspection, which did not affect Oda Shingo's studio. The accounting firm quickly informed Oda Shingo of the news.

"Check my taxes?" Oda Shingo was delighted when he heard this. "They should give me a small medal as a model taxpayer, right?"

"Uh, sorry..."

Oda Shingo frowned, he felt that things were not simple.

As expected, when you are in the spotlight, you are easily targeted.

Should we ask the Ministry of Culture for help? Oda Shingo quickly rejected this idea.

The Ministry of Culture owes me a favor. Although it has repaid part of it by making the animation of "Cells at Work!" tax-free, it will be difficult to ask for anything else in the future if I ask for it myself.

It would be better to not use it if possible to save the face of the Ministry of Culture.

What's more, I take care of my own taxes myself, so there is really no problem.

"Go ahead and check it out." Oda Nobuo didn't care.

But what Oda Shingo didn't expect was that the accounting firm called again soon.

He described the situation carefully.

General Kurosaki actually invited Oda Shingo to have tea.

"Okay, let's arrange a location." Oda Shingo agreed without much hesitation.

But he didn't expect that the place where General Kurosaki invited him was the Chiyoda Ward Taxation Office.

This was a bit like being invited to the office for tea, Oda Shingo touched his chin, but he did not refuse or renegotiate.

"It's settled. Please tell Lord Kurosaki that I'll see you tomorrow."

Let's put the tax issue aside for now. Before going to bed at night, Oda Shingo quietly handed Mikami Yuko a piece of paper: "This is for you."

What he wrote to her was Bai Juyi's "Planting Flowers in Green Field Hall in Response to Ling Gong".

Oda Shingo had noticed the envious look in Mikami Yuko's eyes when he was giving Chinese character posts to other girls.

Yuko Mikami was stunned for a moment, and when she saw clearly that there were lines of Chinese characters written on it, she was so happy that she almost screamed out: "Ah? Thank you, Mr. Oda!"

"Not so polite."

"No, I must thank you! How about I rub your back for you?"

"Need not……"

The next day.

Oda Shingo took Namikaze Yuzuru to the tax office.

He knew Namikaze's temper. If he didn't bring her out in the open, she would follow him secretly.

But today we are going to an official institution, so if we let her lurk around, she might as well cause any trouble, so it would be better to bring her with me.

When Namikaze Youhe knew that he was invited to the tax office, Namikaze Youhe nodded vigorously: "I understand! Shingo, don't worry, even if they want to arrest you, they have to get past me first!"

She narrowed her eyes, flipped her palm, and three kunai appeared between her fingers.

"That's not what I meant... Don't let anyone get killed!" Oda Shingo cried out.

"Ah, I see! If they make any unusual moves, I will take you back to my hometown! I don't think they can find it..."

"...Toudou Kacheng, you should come with me."

As a result, the two girls went together.

Coincidentally, the moment Oda Shingo entered the tax office, he was seen by a comic critic passing by.

[Oda Shingo is suspected of having serious tax problems! He has been summoned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Taxation Agency! 】

In less than half an hour, this breaking news was reported online.
