Bill: People's Consumption Tax Act 4324
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Socialist Party of Rutania
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: July 4324
Description[?]:
| The Whigs recently passed an increase from 0% to 19% on essential goods, referring to the need to increase revenues. That need is apparently no longer so pressing, given their current proposal to slash profit tax. The DSPR believe that necessities such as food and basic clothing should not be taxed at all. Such taxes fall disproportionately on the poorest Rutanians. |
