American tax officials

Chapter 34 National Ranking

It's worth noting that during the last assessment period, the Lake District branch's tax revenue was only around $100,000.

It has now skyrocketed to over 130 million; even a rocket couldn't have done it this fast.

This is absolutely a mistake!

Their district is so big, and they even received government funding, but it only amounted to around 100 million. How could the Lake District possibly receive so much more?

It must be that one of their statisticians published the wrong data!

Lost in thought, the screen operator returned from outside, looking incredulous. "Inspector Keanu," he said, "I've confirmed with the Lake District branch three times. Their data is correct; it is indeed over 130 million!"

"What?!"

Keanu's lips parted slightly, but he couldn't make a sound for a moment. His face was filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if he were imprisoned in place by an invisible force.

Apart from him, all the other tax inspectors, tax chiefs, and auditors present had the same expression!

Is the data published by the Lake District Branch correct?

Do they really have a tax record of over $130 million?

How the hell did that?!

Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!

The enormous sense of disparity swept through the hearts of all the inspectors in the district; they couldn't believe it and were completely baffled.

……

At the same time, the State Taxation Bureau's Xincheng District Branch.

The tax inspectors, tax chiefs, and tax auditors here were all dumbfounded and incredulous when they saw the tax results sent by the Lake District Branch.

If you were to ask about this tax achievement of over 130 million, the local police station would be surprised, but they certainly wouldn't be this shocked.

After all, the area around Dajie District is a large and well-established business, and it also receives government funding, so it's normal for its tax revenue to surge by 3 to 5 times.

But it seems a bit outrageous that this tax revenue of over 130 million yuan came from the Huqu District Branch.

How much tax revenue did the Lake District Branch have in the last assessment period?

Even if you took Viagra, it shouldn't be this potent!

Moreover, the lake area and their new urban area are at the same level in terms of economy and GDP, while their new urban area worked their butt off to get nearly 50 in tax revenue during this assessment period.

The lake area, on the other hand, directly achieved two and a half times their output!

That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

For a moment, the inspectors from the New District Branch were questioning their existence.

……

The State Taxation Bureau, Huzhou Branch.

At this moment, everyone's excitement had subsided slightly, replaced by an expectant attitude.

Having secured the top spot in Las Vegas tax results, everyone's prize money is practically guaranteed.

Therefore, the allocation of public funds is now the most concerning issue for everyone.

As mentioned before, as long as there are official funds, they can be used to bribe informants and purchase intelligence, which is a great benefit to every investigator.

About ten minutes later.

Keanu, who had gone out earlier, returned and told everyone, "I've confirmed with the city bureau that the significant increase in tax revenue will correspondingly lead to an increase in official funds, totaling 35!"

"35 million!"

Upon hearing this number, the eyes of the nine tax officials sitting in the front row turned red.

This public funding is not to be divided equally.

According to the IRS Black Tax Act, the better a team performs and the more significant its contribution to tax results, the more government funds it will be allocated.

Needless to say, Lewis's team contributed the majority of the bureau's tax revenue this time, so naturally they accounted for the bulk of the government funds.

So the remaining small portion can only be fought for by the remaining 9 teams.

"Team Seven made the biggest contribution to our Lake District Branch this time. Therefore, 150,000 of this official fund will be allocated to Team Seven. Does everyone have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Hector and the other tax collectors showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

This time, the official funds amounted to 350,000 yuan, and one-third of it was taken by Team 7. It would be a lie to say that they didn't want to object.

But there was nothing they could do. Team Seven had the highest tax revenue this time, and this government funding was essentially secured through their efforts, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.

At this moment, the happiest people were not David and Nissen, but Bucky and the other five members of Group 7.

With such a large sum of public funds allocated to their 7th team, and a new round of assessments beginning, even excluding David and Nissen's group, they are confident that they can achieve the top tax performance in the next assessment period.

In short, as members of Team 7, they really benefited greatly this time.

"Since everyone agrees, it's decided then. The remaining official funds will be allocated as follows: 2 to Team 1, and..."

Besides Team Seven, Keanu also allocated the remaining $20 in official funds based on each team's tax performance this time.

Teams with higher tax performance receive more.

Conversely, there are fewer.

This distribution method also served as a form of incentive for the inspectors on site.

Many people have already secretly resolved to strive for more tax revenue once the new assessment period begins.

In that case, if there are still government funds allocated to the bureau in the next assessment period, they will naturally receive more.

Thus, many people thought the assessment period was coming to an end, and were just about to hear Keanu say "meeting adjourned" when they got up and left.

Unexpectedly, Keanu changed the subject, saying, "Sorry everyone, I'll have to take up a little more of your time. I just received a notification from the General Administration that their supercomputer has compiled nationwide data for this assessment period. Let's take a look!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room, including David, was immediately intrigued!

Before the assessment meeting even started, he had already anticipated that his tax revenue of over 80 yuan would likely be the highest in the city.

But he really hadn't thought about it from the perspective of the whole country.

But that's fine too, he also wants to see where his tax achievement of over 80 yuan ranks nationwide.

"David, do you think our performance data for this evaluation period will rank among the top in the country?"

"From the side, Nissen asked with great interest."

This is indeed something he can look forward to.

Because if they make it to the top of the IRS national list this time, it will be visible to everyone in the IRS system.

Perhaps because of this opportunity, he will gain the appreciation of the higher-ups at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and thus rise rapidly in his career?

Nissen's idea was wonderful, but David's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

David pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Ranking at the top is unlikely!"
