Bill: Sales Tax Abolishment
Details

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: October 3353
Description[?]:
| The essential goods sales tax is regressive, and thus unfair and undesirable. Lower income individuals will spend a lower percentage of their income on purchases, while those in the higher brackets will spend a larger percentage. If the tax system is to vary with income, it ought to do so to help the unfortunate, not compound their misfortune! Nick Bushnell (S), Minister of Finance |
