I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"...Yes, Mr. President, because of the unexpected and powerful ghost, the temptation to that guy did not go as planned."

Outside the warm bus ramen restaurant, in the darkness not far away, a figure wrapped in a black robe stood there quietly.

"However, the Spirit Eliminators Association should think that it is just an indiscriminate attack on them, and it will be distracted instead."

The weird mask pattern on the figure's face vaguely formed the character "three".

"According to the current observations, as the chairman said, although that guy is not good in appearance, his strength is far superior to that of ordinary spirit removers, and he is an opponent worthy of serious consideration."

"Moreover, I found an interesting place, which may be his weakness."

"Understood, I will not act rashly, everything will be executed according to plan..."

After the communication was over, the figure crushed the old-fashioned mobile phone in his hand, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Until, kill Araki Sousuke."

...

The next day, early morning.

In front of the old "Yihujian" gate, there is a resident name plate with "Araki" written in crooked characters, shining brightly in the morning sun.

"Ding dong... ding dong... ding dong..."

Evenly spaced, extremely polite doorbells woke up the sleeping Araki Sousuke.

"Yawn... Early in the morning... who... I don't know if he didn't sleep all night yesterday?"

When he walked into the courtyard with his upper body bare, he saw a man and a woman in suits waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing Sousuke Araki's muscular body covered in tattoos, slanted blindfolds, and fierce eyes lacking sleepy eyes from a distance, the woman in the suit seemed to have seen a ghost, and quickly hid behind the man with a pale complexion.

"Um... is this the new resident here... Araki-san...?"

Only the man wearing glasses was left, swinging his legs, holding on to the last bit of courage, and asked respectfully with a trembling voice.

A certain question on the way when I came here has already revealed the answer in my heart at this moment.

Those who dare to live in this haunted house that cannot be destroyed by a typhoon are indeed peerless murderers...

"Ah, I just... let me say it first, I don't order anything, I don't get a loan, I can't afford a house, I don't confirm any courier and bank transfers, I don't have any equipment to watch HNK TV at home, I have nothing to donate and I don't have any yet I don't want to work hard."

Araki Sousuke rubbed his sleepy eyes, and stated his position slightly uncomfortably.

"No, we didn't come because of these things..."

The man carefully bowed at ninety degrees and presented his ID card through the goalkeeper.

"We are from the Taito District Taxation Bureau. Here is your business card and proof of employment."

Seemingly knowing the legend of this house, the two had no intention of entering the house.

"Tax...the tax office?"

Looking at the information on the business card, Araki Sousuke suddenly felt a headache.

"Don't look at the villa I live in, let's not mention the fact that I am now a vagrant. My previous job also paid the withholding tax for me, and it's not yet the time to file taxes at the end of the year..."

It's not just him, anyone who comes to the tax bureau will probably have the same expression.

The tax department is the last thing every Japanese wants to deal with, not one of them.

There are many types of taxation in Japan, and the national taxation and local taxation departments will simultaneously levy various complex taxation items on personal income.

Therefore, at the end of the year, most people will hire a professional "tax accountant" to carry out "overall planning" for their personal tax for the whole year, so as to make reasonable use of various policies, supplement costs with clever names, and plan the most reasonable tax amount.

Often at this time, major shopping malls will also conduct promotional activities for computers, cameras, operating appliances, and professional equipment that can be included in accounting accounts such as "expenses" and "costs".

However, all of the above have little to do with Sosuke Araki's migrant workers who are hovering at the first level of the threshold.

"Mr. Araki, we are not here for personal income tax, but for capital tax..."

The man adjusted his glasses and confirmed that there was only one house around, then took out a document from his bag.

"Well, according to the lease agreement signed and filed by you and the owner of the house, the capital tax during the lease period will be borne by you, right?"

He carefully read the terms and conditions on the information, for fear that if he mispronounced a word, he would be pulled in by a scary man across the wall and encounter such terrible things.

"Solid, solid capital tax?"

Hearing these three words, Araki Sousuke was like a bolt from the blue, and the drowsiness that enveloped him disappeared instantly.

"Asshole Lesson 9... No, this must be the old man's conspiracy..."

Big, careless! ! !

Dodged the township dues, and actually forgot about this...

In Japan, property owners need to pay fixed asset tax and urban planning tax according to the property value assessed by the tax department every year, collectively referred to as capital tax.

Among them, the fixed asset tax in Tokyo is 1.4% of the assessed value of real estate, and the urban planning tax is 0.3% of the assessed value of real estate.

In some lease contracts, it is also stipulated that the tenant shall bear this part of the tax.

"Here is the payment slip for property tax payment. You can choose to pay in installments four times a year, or you can pay in one lump sum. You can do it at nearby banks and convenience stores..."

After handing in the property tax payment slip and soullessly stating the "needs to know", the two tax bureau staff members left at a speed as if they were being chased and killed by gangsters.

"...Please be sure to pay attention to the payment within the specified time. If the property tax payment is delayed, a maximum of 14.6% of the delay fee may be incurred. If the delay is too long, the relevant agency may carry out compulsory seizure of the house or income."

In their hearts, even if this resident refuses to pay taxes, there should be no staff who are willing to risk their lives to come to the door for "compulsory seizure".

"one two three four……"

Only Sousuke Araki, with a pale complexion, was left, counting the numbers on the payment slip in his hand desolately with a trembling voice.

The tax bureau's guidance and assessment price for houses is estimated based on uniform standards such as regional land price, construction year, and land area, regardless of whether you are a haunted house or not.

Therefore, Araki Sousuke lived in a luxurious single-family building with a large area, a garage and a front and back yard. The building area of ​​the house far exceeded the scope for applying for tax deduction.

After taking several renovations and depreciation into consideration, the government estimated the value at more than 60 million yen.

In other words, if he lives in this house, the annual capital tax he needs to pay is...

"……one million?!"

This has far exceeded the rent of the Kuramae apartment for nearly a year.

"Even if it is paid quarterly, it will cost more than 200,000 at a time..."

This is a deadly huge amount of money that is enough to plunge Araki Sousuke into a financial crisis and defeat his "reckless squandering" of the already vulnerable capital chain.

The tax office is indeed a more terrifying existence than hell.
