Chapter 16

"It's wrong for my uncle to discriminate against women. Now we pay attention to equality between men and women." Zhao Jie said angrily.

"Sister, you are in the United States, and the national conditions are different. In the past, the people of the Chinese dynasty didn't believe this. It was the traditional idea of the Chinese dynasty to carry on the family line, raise children for the elderly, die and burn paper in front of the grave. Some women can't be replaced by Xing. What's more, even in the United States Empire, it is not necessarily equal between men and women, otherwise there will not be so many feminist movements. " Zhou JieXi has no choice but to explain to the person who has been immigrating for a long time.

"Well, I know. I didn't leave China for a long time. It seems that I don't know anything. I don't want to talk about it“ Zhao Jie waved his hand and said. After a pause, Jesse Zhou opened her mouth. Just as she wanted to speak, Zhao Jie began to speak again. Jesse Zhou had to swallow the words in her mouth“ Jessie, you didn't make it clear on the phone. What are you doing in America? " Zhao Jie asked again.

At this time, Jessie Zhou became more serious and said to Zhao Jie, "sister Jie, I have a share of property to inherit, so I want to ask you for help. After all, I don't know anything in America, so I'm going to trouble you."

Zhao Jie nodded, "Oh," and said, "ah. What's that? Inheritance? How much is it? Whose is it? Are you a relative? " Zhao Jie asked several questions.

"Oh, don't ask so much." After all, the next few days will depend on her“ Two old people, I should give them some help, they may not be about to die, so they want to give me some belongings, a relatively large number. Specifically, we say it's not safe on the car after parking. Jessie Zhou didn't say it too clearly, nor did he say the number of money. After all, it's still on the road. If Zhao Jie can't bear the stimulation and drives out of the road, he will die before he leaves the school. "

Zhao Jie also nodded and did not say more. He was surprised just now, so he asked about some things he shouldn't have said. Now he is a little annoyed. They also talked about some interesting and embarrassing things when they were young. When they arrived at the hotel that Jesse Chou had ordered, they got closer to each other. Of course, it was not the kind of distance between men and women.

What's more, the most important thing is that Zhao Jiechang is ordinary and wears a pair of glasses. In addition to his good temperament and figure, Zhou Jiechang really doesn't have anything to do with it. When I said that I knew her when I was a child, and that she was still a friend of my sister, I couldn't have that idea. If something happened, I had to be responsible. Now, Jesse Zhou has no intention of getting married.

Two people come to Zhou JieXi's online reservation hotel, is located in Beverly Hills four seasons hotel. Four seasons hotel is a very beautiful hotel, each of her rooms has a Duli balcony, the style of modern decoration is simple and generous, it is more suitable for tourists who like simple and comfortable. Each room is equipped with a flat-panel TV and Internet base. When you are tired, you can enjoy Beverly Hills in Hollywood spelled with letters directly from the window. And it's only ten minutes' drive from Downtown Hollywood, and it's only one block away from the shopping center, so it's very convenient to play and shop.

Walking into the luxury facilities inside the hotel, you can feel the luxury of Jing. The gorgeous chandeliers reflect the brilliant and shining atmosphere of the hall. Jessie Zhou went to the front desk, blurted out in fluent standard English, and gave the identification to the waiter. The waiter immediately checked in for Jesse Zhou, who ordered a large one bedroom suite. After all, it may be one person or two people. If it's crazy, it's still possible to add a few people.

Now, Jessie Zhou wants to be kind to herself. She decides to enjoy her life and cherish the hard opportunities. If she suddenly wakes up and doesn't enjoy anything, it's not that she has no tears.

After checking in, Zhou JieXi didn't go to the guest room, but invited Zhao Jie to have a cup of coffee. There is a restaurant in the hotel, and Zhao Jie didn't refuse to receive the invitation from Jesse Zhou, because she knew that Jesse Zhou was going to talk about the important thing. If they had a talk, Zhao Jie would know how to help Jesse Zhou.

When they go to the restaurant, they ask the waiter to find a remote and quiet corner. They both order a cup of coffee and tip the waiter. Just like in the movie, tips are charged everywhere in the United States. Of course, how much you give sometimes is not what you want to cut, then everyone will look down on you, some places will directly say that please give so and so not less than how much tip, there must be a minimum tip. But after all, it's a social phenomenon, so it's better to follow the public.

Jessie Zhou moistens her throat with a cup of coffee, and then tells Zhao Jie, "he saved a couple of old people. Their lawyer called him and said that the old man had a large amount of property to give him. He asked him to come to Los Angeles to sign some documents, so he wanted to see her. After all, there is no need to be prepared for any danger and to guard against everyone's heart. "

In fact, it's unnecessary for Zhou Jiejing to be careful. After all, the old man hasn't died yet. He just entrusts a lawyer to deliver it. In the middle, there are accounting audit, financial appraiser evaluation, and third-party witnesses, so the property is not authorized, and the bank and zh è ngfu will not let anyone transfer it.

What's more, such a transfer will make a lot of money. The US imperialist tax system is very complete. The dead and the living have to get involved in their wealth. It is eager for many people to transfer their gifts so that the wealth can be redistributed.

"Xiaojie, let's put it this way. In the United States, zh è ngfu levies a high tax on the transfer of personal assets. Although this kind of tax is commonly known as inheritance tax, it actually includes three types of taxes on the transfer of personal assets: one is inheritance tax, the other is gift tax, and the third is the tax on the transfer of alternate generation assets. In 1916, the federal government only imposed inheritance tax. Later, in order to avoid the evasion of inheritance tax, the federal government successively imposed gift tax and estate transfer tax on alternate generations. Since 1977, the United States has applied a uniform rate table to estate and gift taxes. "

Zhou JieXi nodded to show that he understood.

Zhao Jie took a sip of coffee and then said, "ha ha, let me tell you, inheritance in the United States is a troublesome thing, that is, inheritance tax should be paid by the heirs, and the heirs should pay taxes first, and then they can inherit and distribute the property. According to the law, the administrator or executor of the estate must pay the tax in cash within nine months after the death of the original owner of the property, and then the estate can be distributed. If the sum of money is not enough at one time, an application for an extension of payment may be made, but the time limit shall not exceed six months. "

"Ah, what about me?" After hearing this, Jesse Zhou was greatly disappointed and thought how many hundred million yuan I would have to pay.

Zhao Jie waved his hand and asked him to listen to him. "Paying taxes first and then dividing property has become one of the biggest criticisms of the inheritance tax in the United States, because this way will cause the heirs to fall into the dilemma of not paying taxes on time due to lack of cash. Of course, the inheritance tax in the United States does not mean that all heritages acquired by heirs should be taxed. A person's legacy can be taxed after deducting debts, funeral expenses, charitable donations, and then personal exemption. "

"You have to pay gift tax. If the old man dies, you may not be able to get the money. After all, you are not the lineal or collateral heirs. You have to pay a sum of money to get the money. It can't be done in a short time."

Jessie Zhou nodded again and said, "what can I do?" Zhou said.

"In the United States, the purpose of gift tax is to prevent the rich from leaving their money to their future generations. When a person gives his property to his future generations or others while he is alive, he has to levy gift tax. Therefore, there are many rich people in the United States who make charitable donations. Those who can leave all their property to future generations can hardly be found. All this is due to the involvement of "Uncle Sam". Although the property is earned by you, Uncle Sam should share equally the property left by the old man after his death, just like the son of a rich man“ Uncle Sam, it's not enough to be a "son", but a "master". If you want to transfer your property to future generations or others while you are alive, you have to pay tribute to the "master" first. At this time, it's not called inheritance tax, but a gift tax. "

"The United States is so cruel. Don't try to get involved in everything. kao。” Zhou complained.

Zhao Jie glared at Jesse Zhou, "don't interrupt, don't swear."

Jessie Zhou quickly zipped her mouth with her hand, and then she said, "please continue to fight.".

Zhao Jie looked funny, but said, "but you're OK. It's better for Americans to give their property to their offspring when they are alive than to leave their legacy to their offspring after they die. That's to say, it won't cause any trouble for their offspring or beneficiaries to pay taxes. The gift tax is paid by the giver, while the Beneficiary only gets the property without paying taxes, This will avoid the embarrassing situation that the beneficiary may not be able to get the estate due to no cash to pay the estate tax in the estate tax. "

Jessie's face is full of peach blossom. It's like a roller coaster. Listen“ So I can get the money without paying taxes? Zhou Jie said happily.

"Well, but then you have to ask the financial planner and the accountant to add up. It's so cost-effective. After all, you are still a Chinese citizen and may have to pay personal income tax. At that time, ask a lawyer to make a plan. If you become an American citizen, if you don't want to, you can apply for a green card first. Then you can make a plan, and the tax in China can be avoided. However, the tax system in China is based on the principle of territoriality, that is, you can pay tax wherever you are. So I'll study it. Maybe it's OK. But it's better to be naturalized, so that you can take care of the property you inherit here. And now I hear that there are a lot of immigrants from China. Don't you have any pressure on this? "

Jessie Zhou weighed the gains and losses. If people don't do it for themselves, they will be killed by heaven. When they get the fat, they have to bite the pigs, give them a good ride, a good drink, a beautiful girl and a bag ǎ i。 How does it feel like other people go to PI á O and have to pay for their own tickets? I feel sick when I think about it“ Hehe, it's OK. I don't care about this. I'm a stateless person. The earth is the same everywhere. The name of human will not change. " Zhou Jie's shameless saying that he didn't change s è in the West.

Zhao Jie doesn't say anything about it. All love is valuable. As long as the price is right, it's not impossible to consider. What's more, it's still a large sum of money. No one would like to change it. Moreover, it's not necessarily safe for you to have such a large sum of money in China ā O the law of eggs, ha ha....... The United States should be more comprehensive. Of course, it means legal property.

They chatted casually and agreed to go to the office together tomorrow. After drinking the coffee, Zhao Jie said he was sorry to leave first. There was a fiance at home who said he wanted to surprise her. When Zhou Jiejing heard this, he couldn't say anything. The young couple has enhanced their relationship. You still want to be Cheng Yaojin. So he told her to get up and take her out.
