Description[?]:
| Beiteynu's current deficit is in excess of 73 billion BEI. The Income tax proposal of September 2762 will reduce this deficit by 44 billion BEI, to 29 billion BEI. In order to reduce this even more, or perhaps to even break even or even have a surplus, I propose an increase in the luxury sales tax, to 25% (from the current 20%). |
