Bill: Sales Tax Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ducal Delegation
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 2209
Description[?]:
| We need to broaden Aldegar's tax base. At the moment, the burden is placed too heavily upon direct taxation and not enough on indirect taxation. If this Act is passed, we can then go on to consider using the revenue raised to reduce other taxes, increase public expenditure on key services or both. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of HIkirena) |
