American tax officials

Chapter 75 The Director is Back

The following day, the Lake District Police Station was unusually busy.

Everyone was waiting for the assessment meeting to begin.

At 11 a.m., a message came that made all the inspectors in the bureau tense.

Because of the introduction of the Black Tax Act, the director William and deputy director Megan, who went to the headquarters in Washington for training, actually came back!

And today's assessment meeting was also chaired by them!

Not long after the news spread, David was soon notified that he needed to go to the director's office immediately!

David straightened his clothes and hair, and arrived at the door of the director's office on the fourth floor. He knocked on the door with a hint of trepidation.

"Come in!"

Hearing the sounds coming from inside, David pushed open the door and went in.

Lewis had arrived at this place at some point, along with two tax inspectors, Guxin, and two deputy tax inspectors.

But these are not the points he is concerned about.

His focus was on William and Meghan.

William immediately stood up, extended his right hand, and said, "Inspector David, I really didn't expect our Lake District branch to have someone as talented as you. Thank you for your contribution to our branch's tax performance!"

David's name had been widely known to him for some time, but strictly speaking, this was the first time he had met and spoken to David.

After all, there are more than 100 people in the Lake District Branch, and as the busy director, he naturally wouldn't pay much attention to ordinary inspectors.

If it weren't for the sudden enactment of the tax evasion law, the two probably wouldn't have had much interaction.

"Inspector David..."

Megan extended her right hand to David, and after they shook hands, they had a basic understanding of each other.

William continued, "Inspector David, I believe Lewis informed you of your appointment yesterday. So, are you ready?"

David straightened his back instinctively and replied firmly, "Chief, I'm ready!"

"good……"

"..."

In the following time, William explained to him some of the duties of the tax chief and the specific things he would be in charge of.

He also mentioned Dieter's case.

This case was originally a major case for the bureau, and it was being followed up by several teams.

William and the others did not expect that David would be preparing to handle this case as soon as he took office. After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded in agreement.

David has successfully obtained the authority to handle this case.

Time quickly passed and it was noon.

Seeing that it was almost time, William said, "Let's head to the meeting room and finish up these matters during this probationary period!"

The group immediately leaped out and headed towards the conference room on the fifth floor.

When David arrived at the meeting room, most of the inspectors were already in place, and David instinctively wanted to walk towards Nissen's side.

But just then, Lewis pulled him aside and reminded him, "You're about to become the tax chief, you should sit in the second row!"

David then came to his senses.

As is customary, tax inspectors and commissioners sit in the first row, while tax commissioners sit in the second row, which is a symbol of their status.

David glanced at Nissen behind him, then sat down in an empty seat in the second row.

At this moment, William, seeing that almost everyone had arrived, immediately walked to the front of the stage and said into the microphone, "Hello everyone, I am your director, William. It's the end of the assessment period again. Next, I will report to you on the bureau's data and the work progress of each team!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the controller turned on the large screen, which displayed the data of the first squad.

William read aloud, "First Squad, during this two-week assessment period, the total tax collected was 108,000, more than double the 48,000 collected in the previous assessment period. That's excellent!"

"The first group generated 43,000 in taxes, the second group generated 29,000..."

"Next up is the second team. They collected 96,900 in taxes during this assessment period..."

"..."

Having gained experience from the previous two assessment periods, and having received a sum of government funding in the last assessment period, each team's tax performance, while not exactly skyrocketing, has at least more than doubled in this round of assessments.

And David's group goes without saying.

With a staggering tax revenue of 412 million, it far surpassed the combined total of the other nine teams, leaving all the inspectors on site in awe.

As I was lost in thought, a new image appeared on the big screen.

William continued, "During this assessment period, our bureau generated a total of US$546.3 million in taxes, ranking 51st among all branches nationwide!"

When he mentioned his ranking of 51, a hint of pride could be heard in his voice.

David's national ranking of 42nd is more of a personal achievement.

But the Lake District Branch ranked 51st, which is thanks to his excellent leadership as the branch director. He's really impressive!

"Let's take a look at the situation in the other precincts."

"The top-ranked branch in the country remains the Manhattan branch of the New York City tax office, with a tax record of $4689 million."

"The second-ranked branch in the country is the Brooklyn Precinct in New York, with a tax record of $3389.3 million."

"Third place..."

"..."

The top five precincts nationwide, just like in the previous assessment period, are still dominated by the five major precincts in New York.

As expected, the 6th to 9th places were taken by several Los Angeles precincts.

The subsequent rankings were almost identical to those of the previous assessment period, with the only change being that the Lake District Branch jumped to 51st place.

Of course, the most important factor was David's contribution of a huge tax of 412 million, which led to such a dramatic change in the Lake District.

"Come on, let's see where our Las Vegas Main Street Precinct and New Town Precinct are located..."

William, with a slightly teasing tone, began searching on the big screen.

It took scrolling through 159 people to finally find the Street District Police Station.

Compared to the previous assessment period, the Dajie District Branch also achieved a significant increase in tax revenue, generating 209 million yuan in tax revenue.

But compared to the more than 500 million people in the lake area, it can only be considered a small fry.

As for the Xincheng District branch, it fared even worse, ranking 232nd among all branches nationwide, generating only 96.6 yuan in tax revenue.

"Let's take a look at the tax inspectors' performance rankings..."

On the large screen, the controller quickly changed the list.

Although the auditors can see real-time tax performance data every day, when they see the rankings and the data of the top few, they still fall silent and their expressions become very complicated.

Because the Manhattan Precinct team led by Kelly Olsey and Brown Soros has achieved a staggering total tax return of $1836.3 million!
