Bill: Pornography Act 2781
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Nationalist Party
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: September 2781
Description[?]:
| Current law states that Pornography production is treated as any other business but it is currently banned, this has resulted in a huge untaxed black market taking place in Lodamun with very un-ethical practises. We feel that this change in law will help bring in more revenue and also allow the Government to offer more protection to people in this industry. Also the current laws have led to confusion to businesses and lawyers. |

| Message | That is where the LP is mistaken, as the law states the production of pornography is treated like any business they are subject to corporation tax at a rate on 8%. Further to that they are subjected to a further 23% tax as a luxury product. |
| Date | 15:16:57, July 03, 2009 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Pornography Act 2781 |
| Message | Pornography is not produced in the nation. Therefore, there is no corporation taxed is imposed on them. The luxury tax revenue will not change at all. (OOC: I can't go against game mechanics, you know.) |
| Date | 15:39:56, July 03, 2009 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Pornography Act 2781 |
| Message | Pornography could still be imported and would be subject to tax. The corporations importing and selling it would be taxed and the sales would be taxed. |

| Message | The law currently states that it can be produced in Lodamun, however The distribution, purchasing and possession of material depicting pornographic acts is illegal. They are 2 distinctly different things, we think that the current law is silly and serves no benefit but more of a hindrance. |
