Chapter 303 Zeshan Haruno's Eye-Opening Experience
Sawayama Haruno still took Morikawa Riho's words to heart.
Although he was unable to use the other party's channels to find a suitable tax accountant, fortunately he still found a more reliable firm in Tokyo through his own methods.
After spending a considerable amount of consulting and hiring fees, he successfully invited the other party to his home on Saturday.
Although he was not quite sure why the tax accountant had to come to his house, he still made full preparations to entertain the guest after getting up early on Saturday morning.
Even Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but become curious when she saw him busy.
"Are there any guests coming to the house today?"
"Well, I asked a tax accountant to come over."
Sawayama Haruno was cleaning up the remaining food waste in the living room, and said without turning his head: "We will be here soon, so clean it up in advance."
"So that's it."
Suguha Ezaki immediately understood what he meant.
She took a few steps forward to help replace the almost full garbage bag. After sorting it out and tying it into a knot, she looked at Zeshan Haruno and smiled gently, "I have to go out today too?"
"Where to go?"
Hearing this, Zeshan Haruno stopped curiously.
"Didn't Haruno tell me about signing up for driving lessons last time?" Ezaki Suguha lifted the hair next to her ear and said softly, "I've already chosen a school and I'm going to sign up today."
"Will you come back for lunch?" Sawayama Haruno asked with concern.
Today was a rare weekend, and he had been thinking about taking Maki and Suguha out for dinner after the tax accountant helped him prepare the report.
"I probably won't go. I might not be able to make it back and forth in time. Haruno can just take Maki with him."
Naoba Ezaki paused, then suddenly reached out to help remove the small piece of fluff that was accidentally stuck on Sawayama Haruno's body.
These are the crumbs and garbage left over from when Maki played with Salmon Maru yesterday. Sawayama Haruno, who was busy cleaning the house early in the morning, obviously got caught by accident.
"Make it up to me later."
Suguha Ezaki took two steps back and looked at her boyfriend, who was wearing home clothes but still had a tall and straight figure, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Then I'll be out first."
"Be careful on the road."
Sawayama Haruno escorted the other party to the entrance.
After watching the other party push the door and leave, he quickly went back to clean up the house.
It is now 8:40 in the morning, and Maki Miyazawa is still sleeping soundly in his room. There is still a long time before the tax accountant comes to visit, so simply cleaning the house is more than enough time.
After tidying up the living room and adding cat food to Salmon Maru, Sawayama Haruno slowly put away the clothes he had hung out to dry last night and took a hot bath in the early morning.
When he came out of the bathroom, the cell phone that was charging on the table in the living room rang at the right time.
"Hey?"
Sawayama Haruno walked over and picked up the phone. After saying hello as usual, an inexplicably hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.
"Mr. Zeshan? I'm already at the door. Please open the door."
"Oh, wait a minute."
Isn't there a doorbell?
Sawayama Haruno secretly wondered why the other party had to call him, but when he thought that Maki was still sleeping in the room, he felt that it would be better to call.
While he was daydreaming, he had already walked to the entrance and opened the door. What came into his sight was the tax accountant who was hired from the top firm this time.
The other person had an extremely messy hairstyle. His hair, which was not long to begin with, was casually tied into a bun behind his back, with a few strands of bangs left unruly at the front.
Her facial features are so delicate that there is nothing wrong with them. Although she has dark circles and bags under her eyes, they complement her outfit perfectly. Not to mention the black silk necklace around her neck that would easily lead to misunderstanding at first glance.
This outfit is actually very much in line with the current fashion trends in the island country. You know, in areas with a large flow of people like Shibuya, there will be a lot of handsome men and beautiful women dressed like this wandering around at night.
The other person's temperament is also very consistent with the beauty of the bohemian style. He is the type of handsome guy that people can't help but look back at when he walks a few steps on the street.
But Sawayama Haruno knew better than anyone that the person he had hired this time was a female tax accountant.
"Are you Miss Yano?"
"uh-huh?"
Yano Nami tilted her head and asked in confusion, "You are Mr. Zeshan, right?"
Her voice was very hoarse, but not unpleasant. It was probably similar to the voice developed by years of drinking and smoking.
For some girls who like this sound, it will only make them more unable to control themselves.
In conclusion, this woman is as tough as an iron T, so terrifying.
".Please come in."
Although the tax accountant was somewhat different from the image he had in mind, Sawayama Haruno finally let him in.
He took out a pair of guest slippers for Nami Yano to change into. Just as he was about to go into the living room to pour her a cup of tea, he did not expect that Nami Yano would go straight to work after changing into slippers.
"Did Mr. Zeshan buy this house?" "Ah? No, I rented it."
Sawayama Haruno looked back at her in confusion.
"Ms. Yano, how about coming in and sitting for a while and having a cup of tea?"
"Ah."
Yano Nami nodded.
"Oolong tea will do."
You are really picky, but luckily I do have oolong tea drinks at home.
This was on sale at a discount in the supermarket yesterday, and I bought a box of them.
It's just right for entertaining guests.
Zeshan Haruno took out two bottles of oolong tea from the refrigerator. After returning to the living room and handing one to the other party, he slowly sat down.
"Excuse me, please continue."
"Mr. Zeshan, have you bought a car?" Yano Nami asked quickly while twisting open a cup of oolong tea, "A car, or even a bicycle, or a smart travel vehicle."
"I don't have a house or a car, and I don't have any other fixed assets under my name."
"That's it"
Yano Nami nodded, thoughtfully.
"So, you pay for your daily travel expenses yourself?"
“That’s normal, isn’t it?”
"No, I have read some of the contents of Mr. Zeshan's employment contract before. It is reasonable for your company to rent a studio for you. These are written in the column of your contract benefits."
Yano Nami said in a tactful tone: "But judging from the current situation, Mr. Sawayama should usually work at home? Or go to a cafe, library or something like that?"
"More or less. I go to places like that occasionally." Sawayama Haruno nodded and admitted it.
"Really? As long as Mr. Sawayama's household registration is not in this house, he can use the apartment as his own studio. Ninety percent of the rent can be regarded as necessary expenses for work. Not only can he reasonably avoid taxes, but he can also significantly reduce his rent expenses." Yano Nami reminded immediately.
"Hey, is this still possible?"
Sawayama Haruno opened his mouth, obviously still a little unresponsive.
But Nami Yano has already started dealing with the next step.
"What about the computer you use for work? Is it provided by the company?"
“No, I bought it before.”
"It can be counted as personal property, but you can ask the company to reconfigure a computer for you. The reconfigured computer will then be considered company property, so the tax on this part can be avoided, and you can also get a new computer for free."
Yano Nami paused and added, "Even if it is a partnership, according to the contract, the company is also obliged to provide Mr. Sawayama with working electronic equipment. Legally, it belongs to the company, but the right to use it still belongs to Mr. Sawayama."
".Amazing."
Sawayama Haruno swallowed his saliva. Could this be how you play?
"Mr. Zeshan can actually spend more money on some things, because as far as your current career as a writer is concerned, there are many channels where you can reasonably reimburse yourself in the form of material expenses."
Yano Nami smiled faintly and said, "As long as these are considered necessary expenses, you can apply for a corresponding amount of subsidy from the company. Even if you purchase through the company's channels, you can also reduce the confusion of paying additional taxes."
"This is the first time I know about this," said Sawayama Haruno honestly.
He didn't expect that there were so many complexities in the island country's taxation.
Although I have heard of the advance tax system for writers, what Yano Nami just said is the first time I have seen it. Before even checking the credit card expenses, they started with the house and computer and forcibly fleeced Kodansha.
No wonder so many people in the island country hire tax accountants every year. Professionals are so good at this.
"Mr. Zeshan, can you show me the annual expenditure and annual income report?"
Yano Nami looked around and asked uncertainly, "By the way, does Mr. Sawayama have any information at home that I need for my work?"
"Well, there's no information, but the report form is right here."
Sawayama Haruno took down the income and expenditure report form that he had prepared in advance from the shelf nearby, but Yano Nami just took a quick look at it and put it aside with some disappointment.
"It's too little. Mr. Zeshan can think about how to spend more money next year."
Yano Nami sighed and added, "Do you have any hobbies or anything like that?"
This time, Sawayama Haruno reacted quickly.
"Does making desserts count? Sometimes I make desserts myself, and I bought an ice cream machine and some equipment needed for making cocktails. Can these be reimbursed?"
"It can be considered as work needs. Mr. Zeshan also needs to collect materials when writing novels. The expenses of making desserts can also be considered as necessary expenses. Besides that, has Mr. Zeshan ever traveled?"
“Been to Macau”
"Not bad."
Yano Nami smiled with satisfaction.
