American tax officials

Chapter 76 The New Tax Emblem

Actually, David was also somewhat frustrated, let alone the inspectors.

He originally thought that during this assessment period, it would be quite remarkable if the inspection teams in these big cities could achieve a tax revenue of 1000 million.

Unexpectedly, these guys started to exert their strength in the later stages.

Especially the Kelly Olsey and Brown Soros team from the New Manhattan precinct.

In the last few days, they slashed their tax record by nearly $800 million, bringing their total tax record to over $1800 million, which is simply astonishing.

In addition, the team led by Trollope Alger and Bellamy Hardy from the Los Angeles Long Beach office also achieved a tax result of $1368.6 million during this assessment period.

The third place reached 1106 million.

4th place: 1089.9 million

5th place: 1011.1 million...

Each member of the top 5 tax inspector teams nationwide has achieved tax revenue exceeding 1000 million yuan.

The sixth to tenth ranked individuals all achieved tax revenue exceeding 8 million.

Therefore, David's tax record of $412 million only ranks him 42nd in the country.

As everyone pondered this, William on the stage continued, "After these three probationary periods, inspectors across the country are becoming increasingly outstanding..."

"But don't be too discouraged. Due to our bureau's outstanding performance during this assessment period, our official funding has been increased to US$60!"

Upon hearing this, the inspectors' eyes instantly lit up with a look of eager anticipation.

Meanwhile, the tax officials sitting in the front row were also restless and uneasy.

During the last assessment period, their Huqu District Branch received a government fund allocation of 35 yuan due to their outstanding performance.

This time, the amount has been increased to 60. If they can get more of this, they will be even more powerful when the new assessment period begins.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, William said, "The IRS has always allocated funds based on contributions, and this time will be no exception!"

At this point, he looked at David and said, "The seventh team generated over 4 million in tax revenue for our bureau this time. 300,000 of the official funds will be allocated to the seventh team. Does anyone have any objections?"

William's words caused many people in the room to show signs of distress.

The official funds amounted to 60 yuan.

The seventh squad alone took 30, so it would be a lie to say they didn't want to object.

But there's nothing we can do about it; Team Seven generates the most tax revenue.

The acquisition of these official funds was entirely due to the efforts of Team Seven.

But as the saying goes, where there is sorrow, there is joy.

At this moment, Nissen, Bucky, and the other seven members of Team 7 were overjoyed.

During the last assessment period, because they received government funds, each of their groups achieved significantly higher tax results than the other groups.

This time, however, the prize money was 30.

With this money as support, once the new assessment period begins, this time it won't be as simple as just being a little higher.

It could very well be double, triple, or even more!

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's go with this decision!"

"As for the remaining 30, Team 3 will receive 8 for their outstanding performance during this assessment period, and Team 6 will receive 5..."

"..."

William quickly allocated the remaining 30 in official funds.

He then added, "I also have some news to share: during this assessment period, outstanding inspectors have emerged from all over the country."

"In order to recognize the contributions made by these inspectors, various places have begun to promote them exceptionally, but I believe many people are concerned about one issue."

"After these outstanding auditors are promoted, will they no longer have a place on the tax performance rankings?"

To be honest, this is a question that many people are concerned about, including David.

Generally speaking, the tax chief is only responsible for leadership duties.

As for the work of tax audits, it is naturally left to the auditors.

But the question now is, do people like David, and other outstanding auditors across the country, have to abandon their auditing work after being promoted to tax commissioner?

That's impossible!

These people clearly possess outstanding auditing abilities; it would be a waste to only put them in charge of the tax chief's leadership duties.

The IRS wouldn't do something so self-destructive!

"No!"

According to the latest explanation from the Washington headquarters, all auditors promoted under the tax evasion law will continue to compete in the tax performance rankings!

"The only difference is that they will not exist as a tax performance group, but rather as individual rankings on the list!"

David was the happiest person there at that moment.

In that case, the taxes he generates in the future will no longer be shared with Nissen as before, but will belong entirely to him!

"Alright, that concludes the main points of this assessment period meeting. Now, I have something important to announce!"

"Due to his outstanding performance during these two assessment periods, Inspector David has been promoted ahead of schedule to succeed Tax Commissioner Lewis!"

William looked at David and said, "David, come on up!"

This news has been circulating widely in the bureau for the past few days, so the confirmation at the scene didn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, David stood up, straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the stage.

At that moment, a staff member came up carrying a tray, on which were placed a tax badge and a certificate.

These are the tax badges and credentials specifically for tax chiefs.

Unlike the blue and yellow tax badges worn by tax inspectors, the tax chief's badge is entirely gold and features the IRS's balance scales.

It symbolizes that everyone is equal before the State Taxation Administration!

"Congratulations, Tax Chief David!"

William took the tax badge and documents from the tray and handed them to David, then led the applause.

The other people in the audience also erupted in thunderous applause.

Even after two lifetimes, David was still deeply shaken by such a scene.

The applause lasted for about 30 seconds.

After they stopped, William said to him, "Say a few words, Chief Tax Officer David!"

David nodded, walked to the microphone, composed himself, and said, "Before the Black Tax Act was passed, I never imagined I would be appointed tax chief at this age."

"But after the bill was passed..."

David was naturally prepared for his inaugural address. After a proper speech, he looked at Lewis and said, "Of course, I want to thank my boss Lewis, who has given me a lot of help, as well as my partner Nison and the other members of the team. Thank you..."
