“Simply, taxes can be divided into “agriculture” tax as well as “industrial and commercial tax”. Agriculture tax is relatively simple, the tax rate is 3 %. Industrial and commercial taxes are divided into tariff taxes and business taxes. While tariffs need to be expanded within the territory to determine the level of success. After coming into contact with the outside world, taxes can be applied. My hope, with this can encourage the business industry to develop better.”
“Taxation as an important financial source for the future of the territory, so the stability of the tax rate must be well maintained. Regarding tax rates, everyone please submit an opinion and speak freely, no need to hesitate, let alone hesitate.”
Kawis Guwa stood up and said calmly: “Your Majesty is full of wisdom and loves the little people. Tax rates are already the lowest rate in history. My only concern is that these low tax rates are able to sustain the daily expenditure of the territory and the consumption of military funding?”
“Master Kawis Guwa Don't worry. The reason I filed this 3% tax is one, conducive to the wealth of the people and can also ease the burden of the people. Second, low tax rates are more conducive to the rapid development of the region's economic index. As long as we can make a bigger cake, even if it's only a small part it's still very impressive. On the contrary, even if only a small cake can be produced by the territory, even if it is taken in half, it is still wealth. More importantly, the territory has another source of income, namely industrial products that are not in the classification of privatization. All these benefits will be handed over directly to the Financial Division. Therefore, Mr. Kawis Guwa does not have to worry about the finances of the territory. “Cokro Heru Swabs.
Mr. Kawis Guwa who heard that His Majesty wanted to hand over the Salt Gudang and other industrial profits to the Financial Division, Kawis Guwa was relieved. With the title of his prime service, the level of taxation is low, in accordance with what he expected. His concern was that His Majesty had placed these industries under the private ownership of Heru Cokro. In this case, if the territory is really short of money, then it is still necessary to withdraw from the hands of the citizens.
After Kawis Guwa asked, Pusponegoro stood up. “Your Majesty, there is one thing I am still worried about. Regarding farmers, is it still necessary to pay rent for agricultural land while paying agricultural taxes?”
“Director Pusponegoro need not worry, the territory will provide agricultural land for each farmer for free. Property rights to agricultural land remain the property of the territory. As for the rights of use and income of agricultural land will belong to farmers. In addition, farmers are not allowed to sell and drill land. In line with that, farmers should not open agricultural land privately. All reclamation of agricultural land can only be done by the Agriculture Division. “Heru Cokro briefly explained, then said:” As for the division of agricultural land, the Agriculture Division will be fully responsible for the amount of agricultural land that will be distributed to each farmer. “
Pusponegoro nodded and said that he understood.
Listen to Heru Cokro's explanation of the farmer's issue. Some people felt encouraged, Joyonegoro who could not sit still anymore, stood up and said. “Your Majesty, subordinates are also curious, how will the fishermen and herders be taxed?”
“A very good question. First, I will answer the issue of fishermen. For example, sea fish caught by fishermen, there are two methods that can be used. The first is when the fisherman sells the fish directly in the market, only the outlet tax will be paid. In anticipation of the tax evasion, fishermen had to sell fish at fixed outlets and were not allowed to set up their own outlets. While the other is selling directly to the Material Reserves Division will be subject to business tax. The territory does not impose any taxes, other than the one I have mentioned earlier.”
Heru Cokro knows that there are still many loopholes in this policy, there are still some loopholes that people may take advantage of to avoid paying taxes. For example, if a herder cultivates his livestock in a territory's pasture, then he can avoid paying taxes. Then the solution I can take is to form a Financial Division. But unfortunately the Financial Division is still a new group, so it is not suitable for operations that are too complicated. If forced, it will only harm itself.
When Joyonegoro finished, Laxmi stood up and said with a smile: “Kakak, Laxmi also has something to ask. If Laxmi will make her own tailor shop, then the order to sew a set that will be given to each previous resident, how? will it continue? If you want to continue, where should Laxmi ask for compensation?”
“This is a question that is as good as before. Of course the work of sewing clothes will continue. As for the payment method, there are two options. One, the material supply will be provided by the territory, the tailor shop is only responsible for the processing of the material and its production. Here, the territory will pay the tailor for the cost of processing materials and production. While the other is a tailor shop buying its own fabric, the territory will buy the clothes according to the market price.”
Heru Cokro paused and continued his words: “The method of cooperation is suitable to be applied to all types of trade transactions after privatization is enforced. After this privatization, of course. Items such as arrows, armor and weapons should not be produced at will. The production of the arms workshop will be controlled by the territory.”
The discussion on taxation lasted for ninety minutes. During this time, representatives from each industry have asked questions. Of course, Heru Cokro answered them one by one.
At the same time, Siti Fatimah felt a prolonged stress. Think about it, there are so many problems that are discussed, while he himself does not know how to answer, let alone provide a solution.
At this moment, he was like a high school student preparing for the end of school exam or what we now know as the end of year assessment. Siti Fatimah recorded all the answers of Heru Cokro. Once everything was done, he would organize and sort Heru Cokro's answers, writing them down into the Financial Division's work guidelines. Otherwise, he really did not know how to start his work.
After solving the taxation problem, some other things will be much simpler. Heru Cokro immediately said: “On the determination of wages and price standards, will be the responsibility of the Administration Bureau. After the details of the plan are completed, please report to me. For the construction of various stores, it is the responsibility of the Construction Division. While the basic welfare program, it naturally becomes the responsibility of the Material Backup Division.”
Kawis Guwa, Joyonegoro, and Buminegoro, who assumed that responsibility, nodded and gestured in understanding.
