Bill: Tax proposal of August 2460
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertà Parti
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change income taxes. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2461
Description[?]:
| The Libertà Parti propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Axis Mundi Likatonian Res Publica. This removes the income tax (the system won't let me technically do that) because it's a socialist economy...they're getting paid by us anyway, so income tax is sort of pointless. However, I increased the sales taxes to afford the military budget increase. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
