Below this clause, a sample declaration form is also attached.
In addition to filling in the basic information of the merchant, it seems that the sales of the goods must be marked. Victor checked it carefully several times, and suddenly an electric light flashed in his mind.
I see! His eyes quickly moved on the fourth and fifth rules, and gradually captured the purpose of these two rules - tax!
Like most cities, Neverwinter City is not exempt from business tax on the surface, but in reality, it is not mandatory to pay taxes. He has always paid taxes on the basis of actual taxes, but among businessmen, tax evasion can be said to be all too common, and people like him are outliers.
Those merchants who bought fixed stores also paid a nominal part of the payment, while those who rented stores or roamed about paid almost nothing. Compared with the patrols that used to extort extortion and take cards, the stable and relaxed environment of Neverwinter City is no different from the zero-tax Golden Spike City, Eagle City and other trading cities for small businessmen, and even more. Good - it is this condition that makes Xinwangdu develop a prosperous market in a very short period of time.
But it doesn't look like this situation will last forever.
Of course, the declaration can be exempted from handling fees, but you must also submit your own income sources. If the Executive Office deducts taxes according to this, no one can say anything.
So is there no way to avoid it
Apparently there are still. As long as the new currency is not exchanged back to the Golden Dragon, and the goods are directly used to purchase Neverwinter City, and then pulled to other places to sell, this part of the loss can be made up.
But that's just making up for it.
Victor is all too familiar with this situation. No one can guarantee that income and expenses will be exactly equal, and to keep a business going, the new currency is generally more than the old currency. They either go to the Executive Office to exchange for golden dragons, or they can be saved for the next use.
With a long time interval, it will gradually become such a situation: many merchants will hold a certain amount of paper money, and since it can really buy things, and it is convenient to carry, sooner or later, merchants will also exchange it - at first It is only equivalent to exchange for a golden dragon, but it may be used to buy goods directly later.
This also means that no matter what choice the merchant makes, it will be beneficial to Neverwinter!
However, the point is that it is not difficult to do this, but it is difficult to take into account the feelings of businessmen. There are countless lords who have been killed in the past, but these policies of Neverwinter have not substantially harmed the interests of traders.
Registration and declaration can provide tax revenue for the city, thereby creating a better trading environment. Considering that legal operators often receive preferential treatment in policies, generally speaking, it will not be too bad.
The businessmen who have been holding banknotes have not felt much difference from the past. They can still avoid taxes, and at the same time spread the banknotes to further places in disguise. As long as the goods in Neverwinter are irreplaceable, the new coins will occupy the position of the Golden Dragon little by little, even in areas that are not under the jurisdiction of the King of Greycastle!
Victor noticed that, in fact, not only the last two, but the whole New Deal reveals a kind of gentle taste, and its most important feature is the subtlety.
Undoubtedly, as long as the King of Greycastle controls the grain trade in the territory, the new currency will definitely have value. Even if there is no lack of policy-driven factors, the main reason is the vast market of Neverwinter.
The businessmen who fled may not have thought through the meaning of these terms at all - giving up such a potential market because of fear of currency reform can only be said to be short-sighted.
What he thought was a fool's dream, but now it seems that it is not as bizarre as expected. As long as it is properly controlled, His Majesty Roland Wimbledon may really be able to accomplish this.
Thinking along this line of thought, Victor couldn't help shivering.
Replacing the Golden Dragon is just the beginning...
Once everyone accepts the new currency, His Majesty will have infinite wealth, and any business plan will be insignificant compared to it.
If the news reaches the Kingdom of Dawn, I am afraid that those great nobles who are proud of being good at business will drop their jaws.
The only question now is whether others can copy His Majesty's new currency.
When the salary was paid two days later, Victor asked Linglong to get back a set of banknotes from the residents at 1.5 times the price.
At first sight of it, the doubts in the jeweler's heart disappeared completely.
"These pieces of paper... so beautiful." Linglong couldn't stop admiring, playing with a brand new banknote.
"Indeed," Victor agreed. The new currency looked very valuable, and it was very different from the "paper money" he expected. It was soft and flexible when rubbed in his hand, which was obviously not the effect that ordinary paper could achieve.
The most special thing is the patterns and patterns on it.
There are six kinds of banknotes, ranging in denomination from one thousand to ten. The largest is equivalent to the golden dragon, which can also be seen from its golden lines. The rest are five hundred, one hundred, fifty, twenty and ten, and His Majesty unified the original division with the new unit "Yuan". According to the different denominations, its colors and patterns are also different. For example, the faces of the king and queen are printed on the front of the thousand yuan, which looks lifelike. Below it is marked the words of the Royal Bank of Graycastle. Although it only occupies a small area, the outline is very clear.
If you look closer, you will find that both the handwriting and the avatar are made of countless tiny stripes. Those lines are even thinner than the strands of hair, but there is no trace of dip or adhesion between them. A little is enough to cut off the idea of others imitating.
Victor looked at the other new coins in turn. Five hundred yuan was printed on the Witch Union, one hundred was the factory and workers, and the rest were new things from Neverwinter, such as the Miracle Building, trains, etc... and the back Unity is the Greycastle coat of arms of the tower's twin spears. He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. Obviously, the patterns on the new coin were carefully designed and considered repeatedly. From the outside, it was no different from ordinary works of art, even if it did not have the value of currency, Presumably some fjord collectors are willing to pay for them too.
This is really a very smart approach. Printing such colorful banknotes will undoubtedly increase the cost, but it will also subconsciously enhance the confidence of the people. If it is just an ordinary piece of paper, saying that it can replace the golden dragon, I am afraid that no one can easily believe it, but if it is replaced by a bright thing, the effect will be much better - even if there is no essential difference between them.
Victor put down the banknotes and let out a long breath.
"What's wrong?" Linglong asked curiously.
"The whole business world is about to change," he whispered back.
