| Message | As You wish, but no sales tax is extreme and rare. Small tax do not make too big change in prices and taxation of consumtion is fair. |

| Message | No sales tax is a huge privilege mainly for those, that are selling the goods without tax. Also may lead to corrupion and confidence tricks. E.g. officially (on paper) one can buy a cluster of computer components (not luxury, low or no tax) instead of working computer (luxury, wherefore strongly taxed), even through in reality he will buy the whole working computer. The lobby is also very typical - 95 % of goods can be considered both luxury or not luxury. Sales tax 42 !!! for luxury goods and 0 !!! for the rest is really both extreme a populist ! The only thing I can advice to all citizens is buy only good with 0 tax in Beluzia, and everything else try to buy abroad, where the taxation system is more normal and realistic !!! |

| Message | MY ADVICE TO ALL CITIZENS IS TO BUY LUXURY GOODS IN RUTANIA (tax rate 8%) or DARNUSIAN REPUBLIC (tax rate 10 %). |
