Mob Kousei no Ore Demo Boukensha ni Nareba Riajuu ni Naremasuka? - Vol. 6 Ch. 29.5 - There's No Escape... From That!

[GhostX64]

dammit, what kind of nightmare is that?

ps: aren't taxes taken automatically when selling the loot? Then what's the use of the "adventure center, guild" whatever is called in this manga (forgot the name)

I think you are mistaking government tax and property/Asset tax. That's why it was compared to farmers, what you sell in the market gets taxed as income tax, but what if you hoard all the resources? You will get property taxes by the end of the year on the things you found as you got it from dungeons which probably counts as natural resource. This is similar to found gold/silver/precious metals/jewels 3 centuries back, now the government just seizes all of it except some nations.

**In short, you got X, Y, Z from dungeon. You sold X, the tax got deducted so it doesn't have to be accounted. You held Y until the end of the year(like his main cards for example) you get taxed on them(does he have to pay tax every year or just the first year he got the cards isnt mentioned in this chapter). You used Z and lost it wholly before the end of the year, you don't get taxed on it. There might even be some complication on this system, what would be value of ghoul card that gets merged with the vampire card? Ghoul+Vampire? But it terms of power it is only equal to vampire. What about Zashikiwarashi it was undervalued when he bought it, but now the value has skyrocketed after the reveal, which value will he taxed upon. What if someone uses some interdimensional inventory to hide/smuggle goods outside of dungeon, would it be a tax fraud or a felony under smuggling.

Even the Joker doesn't fuck with taxes.

 

[Chronigan]

I don’t think I’ve seen any manga like this where taxes just cropped up as something that wasn’t some excuse to overthrow a government.

Not a manga, but it happens in the Konosuba LN.

Bruh I read manga to escape reality not be reminded of it :'(

Named cards doesn't apply there since they no longer should have market value (Named cards can't be traded or sold)

 

[ScryedParadox]

It's the life-saving potion he used in the last battle

No, the Amrita potion cost 100 million yen, it wasn't part of his financial gain and was just an item he found.

Since the last chapter I got impatient and read the novel translation and the way it seems to work is that unless you sell the items found to the guild/government, then it isn't considered revenue because there is no Yen/$ sign attached to it.

It allows some workarounds. Such as exchanging cards between Adventurers to bypass the revenue so that you don't owe more taxes, or exchanging cards for magic stones that you can then later sell for revenue when required.

Any expanses that are for the purpose of adventuring are counted as a deduction to that revenue. So purchasing cards to adventure directly reduces your revenue from the job itself. It seems to highly encourage turning all of your money into investment for your adventuring. But you need receipts of all the purchases. Otherwise you get taxed around 23% of your revenue.

In his case, everything he gained from adventuring, he put right back into his cards.
And the money he made from his part time job to get him the money to start adventuring was already handled by his parents since he's a minor.

Bad memories resurfacing...

Mine has all regular taxes automatically uploaded to the gubernamental office's databases and an official digital app for doing the returns so unless you do something out of the ordinary (like buying/selling a house of having it for rent, financial operations...) it isn't much of a pain, we just have to review the tax returns draft and include or modify as needed. If you do though...

Gotta say, paying taxes in Scandinavia was 100x better then in the US. All I had to do was check the tax slip from my employer against the packet the revenue services sent me. Then text a confirmation on my phone...

Now that i am again state side, I have to pay someone to do it or risk fucking something up because Tax law in the US is intentionally convoluted and ever fucking changing.

 

[Laxius]

Taxes, the enemy of all humanity. Even the joker doesn't fck around with the irs and does his taxes.

Yeah it's mentioned by MC's father in this chapter.

Items & Cards that are acquired by an Adventurer doesn't get considered for Taxes, unless there is some monetary transaction involved with them.

Like, MC winning the two card during the Tournament aren't considered for Taxes, as he didn't sell them and still owns them.
Same with the "Amrita" and the "Flute of the Pied Piper of Hamelin".
MC didn't get taxed for those, as he didn't sell them.

But him buying the 1 Million Card Pack & the Card to Rank Up Mare were considered during taxing, so were the materials he sold to the Guild.

 

[tremor3258]

So taxes definitely set up to encourage adventurers to keep developing if drops only count if sold. Interesting.

 

[ikinetsu]

I wasn't prepared for this, but damn it's so true, fuck taxes in real life and in fantasy.

 

[Remy88Lebeau]

This is something you don’t see in these types of stories. I like it and it should keep being brought up

 

[commandodude]

Taxes, the bane of our existence.

 

[HYBRID_BEING]

Horror tag when?

 

[Oplim45]

Though there were a handful instances where the dialogues are corny, plot holes strewn in certain parts, this manga does have the potential to become what I can describe as a superior version of Solo Leveling.

 

[TheOneAboveGod]

Taxes

You know what, maybe the Angolmois is a good thing after all.

 

[TheOneAboveGod]

I wonder what inspired the author to write this extra. Did he watched a certain fat electrician?

I think this was part of the regular chapters in the web novel. It's just more worldbuilding. Author loves his worldbuilding. It's basically 90% of the written text (and it's great).
