Bill: Corporation Tax
Details
Submitted by[?]: HaLeumit Tikvah
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2421
Description[?]:
| With our current government surplus, we can afford to completely remove tax on industry. While many other parties may initially be opposed to this, We ask that they hear us out first. If we remove tax on industries, they end up with a larger profit. With a larger profit, the company can afford to expand more. This means they have to hire more workers. In short, the first benefit of 0% tax is that it fights unemployment. In addition, workers pay will be increased, as union leaders, knowing the company can afford more, will ask for better conditions at the next pay negoiations. |
