American Tax Officer-Chapter 625 - 315: Jeff’s Gaffe
Chapter 625 -315: Jeff’s Gaffe
“The representatives of the Amazon Group have nothing to say, it seems that this charge has been confirmed!”
“Facing tax evasion charges of nearly ten billion US dollars, Amazon is in for a rough time!”
“The charge of tax evasion against Amazon has ultimately been confirmed, but it’s unknown if this is the only charge or if there are other charges to come.”
At this point, the public watching the live broadcast could confirm that the tax violations by the Amazon Group were indeed established.
Courtroom scene.
David had already retrieved the second document and said, “Your Honor, in addition to the charge of value-added tax reduction, Amazon Group has another questionable point. That is the fact that for many years, they have been receiving government tax subsidies. How exactly did they do it? Allow me to explain to everyone briefly…”

In the following time, David explained to the audience and the live viewers how the Amazon acquired tax subsidies, and finally said, “In the previous years, the states did need development and indeed provided Amazon with quite a few subsidies, which Amazon legally and legitimately received.”
“However, after 2017, the states had developed, naturally raising the requirements for tax subsidies. Yet, Amazon was still able to receive tax subsidies every year. It’s absurd that to this day, they still have an astounding 1.4 billion in tax credits. However, according to my detailed investigation over this period, these subsidies have also been obtained through irregular methods these past few years.”
With these words, the expressions of Lakruwa and the others in the defendant’s seat darkened a bit more.
Indeed, they were fully aware that their group’s handling of tax subsidies did indeed involve irregularities, and since David now publicly pointed it out, he must have evidence.
Thinking of the impending second charge against the group, all they felt was deep despair.
On the stage, after spending roughly ten minutes reviewing David’s second investigation report, Nicola turned her head towards the defendant’s seat and demanded, “Representatives of the defense, according to the document, in Montgomery City, Las Vegas… in these places, to receive local tax subsidies, you injected funds from other regions into the local area to meet the targets. According to the tax law, this already constitutes tax fraud. You had better explain.”
After speaking, without waiting for Lakruwa and the others to request it, Nicola gestured for the staff to take down the report and handed it to them.
After carefully reviewing it, the despair on the faces of Lakruwa and the others deepened.
Like with the previous value-added tax reduction, they could not understand how David, in such a short span of time, investigated so many confidential details about their group across various states and cities.
However, they might not understand, yet there was the investigation report right before their eyes, leaving them no room for sophistry and only the option to admit defeat.
“Fake!”
In the spectators’ seats, watching the expressions of Lakruwa and the others, Jeff knew that the charge of illegally obtaining tax subsidies was likely confirmed, so he cursed with an ashen face.
“Representatives of the defense, are you certain that there are no objections to the Los Angeles IRS’s investigation report?”
Hearing Nicola’s questioning, Lakruwa, Welber, and the others exchanged a look but ultimately lowered their heads helplessly, their faces embodying resignation. The data was clear, and they truly could not think of any argument to counter.
“If that’s the case, then with regard to Amazon’s value-added tax reduction and the tax subsidies, the charges of tax violations are established. Director David, is there anything else you would like to add?”
“Your Honor, indeed the value-added tax reduction and tax subsidies are severe issues, but compared to the charge I am about to accuse Amazon Group of next, they barely count as child’s play!”
After David’s statement, a murmur arose from the audience.
Fraudulent receipt of tax subsidies was over a billion, and value-added tax reduction involved nearly ten billion in tax funds. Yet all of these were considered minor?
What then was the next charge David was going to accuse the Amazon Group of?
“Oh my God, could there be other charges more severe than these two against Amazon?”
“The value-added tax reduction already involves billions in tax funds. If that’s considered minor, then the charge Director David is going to accuse Amazon of next must involve two hundred, three hundred, four hundred billion or even more funds!”
“I thought it was coming to an end, but it seems like the real drama is just beginning!”
At the same time, the public watching the live broadcast was also in an uproar.
Goodness, after all these accusations about illegal tax subsidy receipt and irregularities in value-added tax reduction, it turns out these were just appetizers, and the main course was only now being served?
Suddenly, everyone held their breath and widened their eyes, afraid of missing even a single detail or a word.
And if you ask who was the most nervous at the moment, naturally, it was Lakruwa on the defendant’s bench and the high-level executives of the Amazon Group in the spectators’ seats.
At this moment, they were all looking at each other, wracking their brains guessing what crime David was going to accuse them of next.
And what other crime could their group possibly have that was even more serious than value-added tax reduction or the fraudulent receipt of tax subsidies?
