As soon as Lenas got out of the car, he met Joseph Toner, whom he had met on Side6.

At that time, because he was still during the war, Lenas didn't have to think about this person after that meeting. Now, when he thought about it carefully, Lenas only felt that this person gave people a 100% bureaucratic feeling.

"You are finally here, Miss Renas." Joseph took the initiative to greet him.

Renas bowed slightly, gave a standard greeting, and greeted in a subtle tone: "Long time no see, everything is fine lately!"

Seeing Renas' noble appearance as a high-class lady, Joseph couldn't help but feel vain in his heart. While sighing that the daughter of the upper-class society was indeed different from his daughter, he also pretended to be noble and replied: "Very good! Because the war ended."

Lenas just talked with Joseph in an extremely polite way, and she did not expect Joseph to react like this. Seeing Joseph's pretentious childish and clumsy imitation, Lenas smiled in his heart as if he was a complete clown and a rich man who had never seen the world, even the nouveau riche was not as good as the nouveau riche.

Lenas suppressed his smile and said to Joseph as usual: "I want to get my father's inheritance back. Please take me to go through the procedures, okay?"

The two of them had already spoken out before, and Lenas's question was actually just a formality, just to drag the topic on track.

Joseph immediately reacted and said hurriedly, "Look at me, I forgot about this. I'm so sorry." As he said that, Joseph turned sideways, raised his right hand and pointed to the road ahead, and said, "Please, please go here."

Under Joseph's guidance, Renas entered the government building in von Brown.

The so-called property audit committee is just a temporary agency under the administrative department of the von Brown Municipal Government. Except for a few formal civil servants, almost all of the others are hired part-time jobs.

After seeing the office location of the Property Review Committee, Lenas began to wonder.

The government building of the von Brown Municipal Government is extremely regular in the distribution of various departments. According to importance, the most important department occupies one floor; secondly, it may share the same floor with several other departments, but it can also maintain a maximum office space; even if the light and breathability of the office are not good, at least the area is guaranteed. And the so-called property audit committee has a very poor environment, but also a small area, and its location is even next to the underground parking lot.

Renas understood why Joseph came to her side6 regardless of danger, not for the poor reason of "the city government's funding operation", but for his own interests.

In such a department, Lenas was basically convinced that the official staff, including Joseph, were actually exiled employees who were swept out of the house and were inconvenient to fire. These people had lost their future for promotion and might be mediocre in such places all their lives.

This is how they were treated. If they did not make some achievements to keep the survival of this not-so-good department, then once the department was disbanded, they would probably have no small room next to the parking lot. They might be sent to other places to do the hardest, most tiring and least pleased jobs, and they might be used as dispatched staff, without a fixed position, or even as a shield for the upper bureaucrats. Once something happens, they will be abandoned in the river like sandbags used to block floods. In short, their future destiny will not be good.

The job of the Property Review Committee is to find and confirm the missing persons in the war and dispose of those properties reasonably. However, if they have no progress and are just wasting public funds in vain, then, let alone superior officials, even members of the government who are always supervising the government will not tolerate this department's continued existence.

Therefore, if a person can be found to live and happen to be dead when the owner of the property owns a large amount of property is dead, the person is an orphan and legal heir of the property owner. In this way, once the person inherits the property, the government can collect inheritance tax in accordance with the law. Although this tax is collected by the tax department, if the source comes from the Property Review Committee, it is also considered the funds obtained by this department for the government, and it is their achievements. It is also one of the reasons for them to persuade the superiors and the parliament to continue to allow the department to exist.

"Please sign here." Joseph handed over a document and pointed to the blank space at the bottom of the text.

Lenas read the contents of the document carefully and found that it was actually a property list. Looking at the contents on the list, Lenas's heart was beating violently.

Three apartments in the most prosperous area of ​​von Brown, two luxury villas in the wealthy area outside the suburbs, 65 million Haitt bank deposits and 15 million Haitt gold. The rest are some securities. For example, bonds from some countries and regions including von Brown, of course, some of these countries and regions have long disappeared, or the economy has been severely depressed. There are also some companies' shares, such as the Genenik Company, which once made MS for the Genen Army, and the famous composite company on the moon. According to the contents of the document, Lenas owns at least three percent of the shares of these two companies and is a small shareholder.

However, Lenas was not happy for long, and Joseph quickly said: "This is the property left by your father. Although you have the right to inherit, the government needs to withdraw inheritance tax and personal accident income tax."

Lenas still remembers that at the time of side 6, Joseph mentioned the tax rate, inheritance tax was 50%, while personal accident income tax was 20%. In other words, the total tax rate to be paid is 70%.

Renas was a little disappointed, but she did not show her lost expression. She asked with a normal expression: "So, how much tax do I have to pay in total?"

Joseph smiled, then raised his hand and touched his chin, calculated it roughly, and said, "The value of the five properties is 20 million Haits, plus real estate, a total of 85 million Haits. Seventy percent is 59.5 million Haits."

After hearing this, Lenas asked again: "Does the securities not count?"

Joseph smiled and shook his head, "Securities and gold are not counted." But he smiled bitterly in his heart, "If securities are also counted, then you don't have much money to inherit. Besides, the members who formulated the tax laws are rich. Will they really make a set of laws that will shrink their own property?"

After getting the answer, Lenas immediately realized that the tax law seemed strict, but it was actually tailor-made for the rich. Since the old calendar era, the rich did not reflect the excess wealth in cash, but instead turned the wealth into hard currency gold and securities. This habit has been the same until now.

PS: "Het" is the main currency in the UC era. Of course, Gene seems to have its own currency, but it can be regarded as the current US dollar and belongs to the global currency.
