Bill: Tax Reform - 3810
Details
Submitted by[?]: Great National Republican Guard
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change income taxes. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3810
Description[?]:
The current tax plan, implemented by the FJS, lacks consistency. The brackets are different sizes and the percentage for each bracket is disproportional. The proposed reform to the Income Tax system features even brackets and a consistent interval of tax percentage increase. Each bracket is the same size, with the lower limit and upper limit being 255 LOD apart; tax increases at 1% for each bracket. Tax is being proposed for essential goods to ensure that citizens don't waste essential goods, buying only what they need so that more supply is available for other citizens. |

Message | Mr. Speaker. We really hoped we could find common ground on this. But sadly we cannot support a 15% increase in the tax on food and essential goods. It will hurt the poor disproportionately. FJS |
Date | 15:33:58, March 04, 2015 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Tax Reform - 3810 |
Message | Mr. Speaker, I don't care about the stance of the FJS on this bill. I don't care if we have common ground or not. The bill will pass, even if the FJS votes against it. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Vice President of Lodamun |
