Bill: Income tax proposal of September 2532
Details
Submitted by[?]: Normand Pluralist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change income taxes. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 2533
Description[?]:
| Sekowo currently has a 45 million SEK annual surplus, and oppressive taxes. We propose lowering taxes for all Sekowans to something more reasonable (and a light tax burden indeed on the poor!) This taxation system also fixes the problem whereby the richest actually had less cash-in-hand than poorer elements through unreasonable taxation. |
