American Tax Officer

Matthew echoed, "Director David, we at the New City District Sub-Branch also want to express our gratitude..."

After receiving their respective rewards, they didn't linger any longer and turned to leave.

At this point, it was the turn of the Inspectors from the Lake District main office to start feeling expectant and nervous.

To their perspective, the two divisions, Main Street and Newtown District, which they regarded as sideshows, each investigative team had landed a tax performance bonus of $50,000.

Then, shouldn't their teams, which had made significant contributions to the operation, get at least one or two times that amount?

Amidst everyone's anticipation, David looked around and slowly began, "Since the launch of the Dieter case, everyone has been working hard."

"Regarding this case, I've roughly calculated that there are still about $42 million in taxes that haven't been allocated."

"So, I'm thinking of giving Inspector Teams 1, 2, 3... all seven teams, $1 million each. You all agree, right?"

These seven teams only got involved in investigating the Dieter case later on.

However, the task of going armed to the reservation areas yesterday and today was risky, and even if there was no merit, there was hard work, so it would be unacceptable not to give a generous tax benefit.

And for these seven teams, with 8 Inspectors in each team, $1 million in tax money distributed among them would be $125,000 per person.

David felt that should be about right!

Upon hearing that each team would be getting $1 million in tax money, the Inspectors of these seven teams were stunned at first, then quickly burst into ecstasy.

Most of them had assumed that if each team could get $300,000 to $500,000, that would have been pretty good already.

But David directly allocated $1 million to their teams.

"Director David, we're very grateful."

"Thank you so much, Director David..."

"..."

In their surprise and delight, the Inspectors from these seven teams took turns thanking David.

Meanwhile, the remaining three Inspector teams that had yet to be called were feeling even more excitement and anticipation.

Especially David's own Team Seven.

Not only was it David's direct team, but crucially, it was the team that had been involved with the Dieter case from the very beginning.

If the other seven Inspector teams each got $1 million in tax performance, it wouldn't be too much for them to get $1.5 million, or even $2 million, would it?

Under the expectant eyes of the remaining three teams, David first glanced at Hector and Hutton, then spoke, "Chief Tax Officer Hector, Chief Tax Officer Hutton, your teams have done a meritorious job in raiding Dieter's warehouse, so let's add $500,000 on top of the $1 million, making it $1.5 million per team. No objections, right?"

"Haha, of course no objections, very fair!"

Hector and Hutton replied in unison, their faces filled with immense joy,

and the members of their Inspector teams also burst into elation instantly.

That was $1.5 million we're talking about!

Keep in mind that during the last performance assessment period, the entire Main Street District's total tax performance was only about that much, and now one Inspector team had gotten that much, which made them extremely excited.

Finally, David looked at Nisen, Bucky, and the others, saying, "As for my Team Seven... $2 million it is!"

Upon hearing this, Buckynison and the others were also thrilled.

It was almost what they had envisioned, getting double the tax performance of what the other teams got!

On the other hand, the seven teams that had been happy before were now filled with immense envy upon seeing Team Seven receive $2 million, which was twice their share.

$2 million, even when divided among 8 Inspectors, amounted to nearly $250,000 in tax performance each!

At this time, many Inspectors couldn't help but beat their chests in secret frustration, wishing that they had been the ones assigned to David's Team Seven as Inspectors from the beginning!

And thus, this 'Reward Distribution Assembly' ended in a scene where almost everyone was pleased.

Accurately speaking, not everyone was completely content.

At least David felt somewhat of a pinch in his heart.

The total tax from the Dieter case was over $42 million, and the 10 teams had divided up $12 million between them, leaving about $30 million remaining!

$30 million, plus his own current tax performance of over $4 million, made it over $34 million.

The current national leader, Brown Soros, had a tax performance of about $23 million.

And Bellamy Hardy, in second place, had a tax performance of over $18 million.

With his $34 million, he was certain to ascend to the top of the national tax performance leaderboard.

If those $12 million hadn't been distributed, with only a few days left until the end of the assessment period, it's possible that with his tax performance of over $46 million, he could have taken first place for the performance period!

Even if not first, at least a top-three spot was guaranteed!

Of course, that was just wishful thinking on David's part.

Everyone involved in the operation had made tremendous contributions, so how could he possibly monopolize the tax performance?

Even skimping a little on their share was unacceptable!

If too little was distributed, it wouldn't just leave the Inspectors with a bitter taste, but who would willingly work hard for him again if they encountered another tough case like Dieter's?

Forget it, there's still time!

Moreover, Main Street District had even asked him to investigate three major cases!

With the tax benefits from these big cases, by the end of the performance period, he might not be able to claim the top spot on the performance leaderboard, but maintaining a seat in the top ten shouldn't be a problem!

...

This night was destined to be one that left many people tossing and turning.

Following the armed operation by the National Tax Bureau, as the overall commander of the case, David's name had become well-known throughout the entire tax bureau system.

In the past, the Inspectors across the country talked mostly about Brown Soros and Bellamy Hardy, those who had maintained spots in the top five or ten over several assessment periods.
