Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Party
Status[?]: defeated
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 2561
Description[?]:
Separation of church and state is the political and legal idea that government and religion should be separate, and not interfere in each other's affairs. Parties favouring secularism should for vote for this bill as the government does not involve itself in religious organizations. From a financial point of view, religions are no longer permitted to deduct sales tax anymore from purchases. Resolution 1 ------------------ Even though religions are not taxed, the organizations must submit an income tax form at 0% for scrutiny by the Ministry of Finance to prevent abuse and exploitation of the law. Organizations that abuse this law will face tax fraud in which the criminal will be taxed the full amount plus interest and criminal charges with up to 5 years for every year found guilty of committing tax fraud. |
