American Tax Officer

"Nonsense!"

"How could it be so much?"

Although Director David had confirmed it several times, even so, at this moment, Keanu still found it hard to believe.

They had been investigating the military arms case for two or three months, and the data they obtained, which is the monthly income of Gaboures, was only around 3 million US dollars.

As for the 4 million US dollars mentioned earlier when they had talked with David, it had already been on the inflated side.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that even the exaggerated 4 million was just pure personal income, not the amount they needed to pay to their Internal Revenue Service.

Originally, he had planned to calculate based on an income of 4 million for Gaboures, and thought it would be good to successfully collect 1.2 million in tax.

But who would have thought, now David was actually telling him that the tax Gaboures needed to pay alone had already reached more than 6 million.

David replied, "What's so surprising about that? Haven't you thought about how long the black tax law has been in effect? It's almost been two months!"

"Two months..."

Keanu then remembered this detail. Indeed, now for the Gaboures Group, it was no longer appropriate to summarize the revenue based on monthly collection, but on two months' collection.

However, that being said.

Even if it was for two months, the tax collection of more than 6 million was still terrifying.

That is to say, Gaboures needed to pay a tax of 3 million per month, while his personal monthly income was over 7 million.

Over 7 million!

Initially, when he had exaggerated, he had only dared to guess 4 million, now it had exceeded that by a large margin.

And another point.

When they took over this case, they originally planned to only crack open Gaboures alone, and collecting his personal tax would have been good enough.

As for uniformly collecting the taxes from those key members of their group, that was something they didn't even dare to think about!

And now it seemed like David had taken care of everything, otherwise he wouldn't have reported a total of around 10 million US dollars in tax revenue!

This was a bit too outrageous!

"Alright, alright, I got it, Director David. After the tax money arrives here, we will transfer it to you immediately, that's all for now!"

After hanging up the phone, Keanu burst out of the room and went to the chief's office, crashing in without even knocking on the door.

Katharine was reviewing the bureau's documents and was startled by Keanu bursting in so suddenly; she then said with a frown, "What's with the panic?"

Keanu couldn't bother with apologies and blurted out, "Chief, there's news from Director David, he said the arms case has been cracked!"

"What did you say? Really?"

Katharine's face, which was still stern, lit up at the news and she followed up, "How much tax revenue did we receive?"

This was her main concern at the moment.

"According to Director David, just from Gaboures himself, we collected over 6.1 million, and with the key members of their group, because of the black tax law being in effect for almost two months, the total sum is about 10 million or so!"

"What did you say? 10 million?"

Katharine stood up abruptly, her face filled with disbelief.

Despite being the chief and busy with daily affairs, the arms case was a major case in their district, and she roughly knew the specifics.

But collecting 10 million in tax from the group was something she could never have imagined and had never considered.

Keanu said, "I couldn't believe it when I first heard it either, but I confirmed several times with Director David. He didn't seem to be joking, so it must be true!"

Katharine tried to calm her emotions and slowly sat down again.

10 million might be a bit far-fetched, but David would never dare to make such a claim to them without absolute certainty.

But the thought of such a large sum of tax money coming into the coffers stirred her emotions once more.

According to the agreement with David, if David was to take 60%, that would be 6 million, and their district bureau would take 40%, which is 4 million!

4 million US dollars!

This was far more than the tax revenue they had collected in the last several assessment periods combined!

And with this tax money accounted for, their district bureau's ranking would not exactly skyrocket nationally, but saying it would soar like a plane would definitely not be an exaggeration!

"Of course, it's because you, chief, were more astute in the beginning and didn't follow David's path, otherwise we would have really missed out big time!"

What Keanu was referring to were the two options initially provided by David.

At the time, David's choices were either a 37% share.

Or a 55% share, but if Gaboures's income exceeded 5 million a month, any tax revenue from the surplus would go to him.

Ultimately, Katharine firmly chose the former, which was then negotiated up to 46%.

But anyway, it was a good thing that Katharine had chosen the former option, otherwise they would have really lost out big time.

Hearing this, Katharine also secretly rejoiced in her heart.

This was a pure tax revenue of 10 million. If she had chosen the 55% share initially, and any tax revenue over 5 million would belong to David,

then now, from this pure tax revenue of 10 million, they would be lucky to receive 2 million.

After all, if you only count an income of 5 million for Gaboures, two months would be 10 million, and according to the tax rate, he would only need to pay about 4 million.
