tax sys

Maybe RC should think about modeling after this c0mMiE t@x reporting
system. Lower the c0rp0r@te t@x but make people pay a premium to buy
these outdated low tech machines (see pictures) as mandatory t@x
tool. (Now the UT group in Toronto can h@ck into C0Mm!e land, maybe
should h@ck this!)

The c0mMiE's old hand written form of the official tax receipts is
phased out. It is now using a highly technologically advanced
equipment comprising of: a huge Lenovo dot-matrix machine the size of
an old 70's IBM typewriter using parallel port and an electronic tax
receipt recording device using RS232 port. How it works? Well....

That printer costs RMB 3,000. The tax receipt recording device costs
RMB 2,000.00. Think about it; this is mandatory for every single
business in China be it multi-nationals or locals; you need these
machines to issue tax receipts. No issuing, no one wants to do
business with you. So..... 13 billion people, give or take about 1
billion people needing the equipment plus all the Westerners coming to
this side of the world setting up shop.... (RMB 3,000+RMB 2,000.00) *
1,000,000,000. Then, of course, you need to buy a local language XP
computer to run the equipments. Optional but "recommended". Thank
you. The tax department can sell that to you too. Heck, it will throw
in McAfee security, a monitor and a Bill Gate$ / $teve Balmer
compliant MS licence for RMB 5,200.00 or so. That's (RMB5,200) *
1,000,000,000. Of course, all these equipments come with one year
onsite service. Next business day apparently. Let see who's making
the $ here. Levnovo for printers, HP for the computers outdated core
2 duo with only 1G of memory, McAfee for better security, Microsoft
for volume licences, tax department for more accurate tax collection
and friends of friends of relatives of some relatives and relatives of
this new tax reform edict (to make parts for the equipment). Ummm.....

Wait, there's more. Operators of these machines need to buy blank
official tax receipts for printing. About RMB 40.00 or so for 20...
And the tax department is so thoughtful that operators can purchase
"practice" tax receipts to practice printing. O what captitali$t
thinking here?

Now that the "system" is all setup for business, every month the
operators MUST use an accompanied USB stick to download all the
transactions from the recorder. Go to the designated tax office of
the local district and then plug the USB stick to the "mother ship"
uploading the records. This exercise is repeated monthly. Wonder
what kind of antivirus the "mother ship" has? Maybe the largest
b0tNet found is because of this type of upload! Ha!

One inconvenient thing if paper jam occurs. Yes, it happens. The
operator needs to use another set of blank Official tax receipts to
"back out a.k.a cancel" the jammed receipt and then reissue another
one. So in total 3 set of prints for one set of good one. Why I said
3 set. Each tax receipt printing has 3 sheets. The top is for tax
reporting, the second is for your client and the 3rd is for the
accountant to verify income.

So there you have it. How convenient huh? Wonder how I can break the
news to iron-wife about the flimsy looking printer and its colour are
going to clash with our home office decor theme.
