3. The standard tax return is 1040A. Filled at home, a maximum of three hours a year. The Russian taxation system includes daily reports, technical difficulties, hired accountants and a trip to the local tax (before the broadcast).
Let’s say an annual income of 75,000 dollars. To receive a taxable base, deductions follow. If you live alone, then (for Texas, in 2013) the so-called. “Personal release” is $ 3,900, and “standard personal deduction” – $ 6,100. There are deductions for mortgages, education of children and medical expenses. It’s just to make your life easier. So, the tax base is 65,000 dollars. The first skim removed is the progressive Federal income tax, 18%, in our case – $ 12178. The Texas tax is 0% (zero in seven states, usually 5%, maximum 13%, in California). Next – “Social Security Takes” – the federal pension program, plus assistance to disabled people and the unemployed – 10.4% of the full salary, if you work for yourself, and 4.2% if the employee is an employee.
And, finally, the Federal program of affordable medical care – “Medicare”, 1.45%. In total, according to estimates, 21.8% of the salary. Well, or, 27%, if we are not connected with the employer. Once a year, using, designed to help us save humanistic sites or the services of tax advisers – volunteers, we draw up a declaration, apply a check and send it to the tax.
There is no such thing as paying fees in the PF, with zero or minus. You can not file a declaration if the income was less than $ 400, although this may affect the approval of your loan.
The tax system is freedom or slavery?
The transition to a new system can be carried out gradually, starting with some remote town.
Secondly, and so everything is understated. The white salary, with very few exceptions, is ten or thirteen thousand. Although, often, real income is higher by several dozen times. Tax specialists know this, but everyone, as one, is looking through his fingers.
Than it is bad? While you are young, especially anything. The calculation of a pension is a very complicated matter. It depends most on the length of service. Theoretically, 55—75 percent of the “pay” for the last two years of work, or selected five years of work. In any case, senior officials, given the high electoral activity of pensioners, will try to keep a pension of 0.7 average wages.
This is not correct, but, humanly understandable. In the end, every second does not survive to retirement. Lack, however, exists, and is covered by the same business. The latter, in turn, tries to reduce white wages to a minimum. Of course, this thing has a significant corruption component. From the enterprise “important” people are feeding, whose “salary” sometimes exceeds the sum of all payments to workers.
The only way out is to switch to an American, transparent and human taxation system. Our tax specialists would be happy to prove that it is not functional, because everything there is too pleasant for an ordinary person, but, this, in fact the existence of a superpower – works.
Do you have small incomes? No problems! The minimum pension, in order not to die, will be. Declare from real incomes, which you know – the pension is going up. It is possible, as is customary in the United States, to give money to non-state PFs, but we, with all the will, are unlikely to spread it.
An increase in pensions, the opening of a second youth, is an important incentive for a proper income declaration. But, the main thing is to feel like an honest citizen, tracking, among other things, the financial flows of the state itself.
The third reason is the presence of harsh but fair tax inspectors, and their voluntary assistants. Expenses – heaped up machines, houses, yachts, other attributes of status, must correspond to the figures of the Tax Declaration.
– The denunciation?!
– Someone so has thought up, that if the neighbor is a dark person, you need to be silent in a rag. I will say for sure, criminals, slippery persons who invented a “vow of silence”, if it is profitable for them, will surrender you, without a moment’s hesitation.
Those who live in palaces – we are not friends. For them we are working ants. In principle, they are not against our existence. The main thing is that they do not get in the way. But – such a status quo … let’s say it is not in God.
In America, businessmen share the history of their ascent. It is customary to be “kleve” – “transparent.” “Now, look, I’m good.” “Our”, although they achieve a high level of well-being, do not want to be “their own”, to share their emotions and knowledge.
You can betray only friends, you know? Enemies – to expose. Let the workers collect data on shikuyuschih customers and transfer to government bodies. The income data should be freely available. Find the name of the customer in the list, see what his income is, send a message, attaching a photo of the palace, and track the reaction.
– Not bad, if the perimeter of a smart cottage village is surrounded by submachine gunners, an APC will roll into the courtyard, groups of harsh, fair workers will approach the gate. “So. We came. Tell me, where are the money? Is it not from our pocket? Look in the eye!”.
“I do not want the income of people in the palaces to check the herd.” I said “herd?”. Yes. If the workers see that a person starts to stand out sharply from their environment, they try to “punish” him, and return them to their place.
– On the tax inspectors in America, they form legends. There is a colorful character who speaks freely and with beggars and financial tycoons, like the notorious Lieutenant Colombo.
We do not have an image of a noble tax collector. Now the tax – the inhabitants of stuffy offices, sullen personalities, punching out money from businessmen, even those who are still fragile, for the next Olympics.
The paper suffers. In it the palaces turn into huts, shopping c enters become kiosks, and vice versa. Unfortunately, we are trusted in papers, not in the eyes, and there is no sense.
I already see a series on this topic. Why is this not on Russian television? Directors shout: “We want to show the truth, as it is!” – And where is it? Only “Gy-s”.
“But, after all, the palace can be issued for relatives!”
– Yes, even for your favorite dog! Then start up and income with taxes on it is written out. We still have to make taxes on business. How is this possible? The plant does not rest in the Hawaiian Islands, does not smoke “havana”, it lacks luxury villas. There is a turnover, supplies, the cost of depreciation, hundreds of items. Why are our not yet photogenic tax collectors so fond of delving into some sort of pipes with VAT on a refund of the tax, trace financial flows, streams and drops, spend a lot of time and energy!? At the same time, they are still disliked by all but well-off domestic ones. The output of cash flows is in the beneficiaries. There they must be caught!
– And, where will the professional accountants go? They and their families need food. Have you thought about this?
– As a result of the cessation of activity of these citizens, the level of production of goods and services will increase by an order of magnitude. The amount of tax collected will increase. Small business will rise, its share will rise from the current ten to seventy percent. The accountants will join the real production sphere, they will take the place of designers, programmers, etc.
– Indeed, this is what you need to do. But, from the head there is no declaration of income, according to our system. What if everyone writes underestimated figures? Then the economy will go down! Tax system – Freedom or slavery?
