According to the tax law, the winners of the welfare lottery had to pay personal income tax according to the relevant regulations. The specific tax rate and calculation formula are as follows:
- tax rate: applicable tax rate = actual bonus amount x tax rate-quick deduction
- Quick deductions:(actual bonus amount-the minimum bonus amount stipulated in the tax law)Γ tax rate-(deductions for three insurances and one fund stipulated in the tax law)Γ(1-applicable tax rate)
If Li Zhongzheng's prize money is 30000** yuan, the individual income tax that needs to be paid is:
- The actual amount of the prize:30000** yuan
- 10%
- Quick deduction:(30000** yuan-the minimum bonus amount stipulated in the tax law)Γ10%-(the deduction of three insurances and one fund stipulated in the tax law)Γ10%=210** yuan
- Total tax:30000** yuan x 10%-210** yuan =18900** yuan
Therefore, the personal income tax that Li had to pay was 18900** yuan.
Maybe you could have a major scandal or fraud associated with the lottery process, causing public outcry and forcing it to stop. Another option could be if the main characters decide to expose the negative aspects and actively campaign against it.
The lottery in the story works in a very primitive and cruel way. Everyone participates, and the one whose name is drawn is chosen as the victim with no clear reason or logic behind it. It seems to be a blindly followed ritual without any real purpose.
To be honest, I can't recall who wins the lottery precisely in that short story. It's a story that keeps you guessing until the end. Maybe you should give it a read and figure it out for yourself.
Hey, if you like fantasy romance novels, I recommend "Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Loves Jumping". The male protagonist's setting was very interesting. His personality was changeable and he would play the role of cannon fodder or the male protagonist in different planes. The female protagonist was a kind person who took care of the male protagonist like a mother. The plot of this novel was very interesting and worth reading. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah ~π
