NEW Tax Policy???
Lord Bernin
Hi to all the readers,
I am sorry that I have to disagree with the new President on the new tax structure.
I DISAGREE ON-
1% Income tax on all items
1% Import tax on Wood and grain
I AGREE ON-
1% Import Tax on Oil, Iron and Diamonds
1% VAT on all manufactured items.
1% Import tax and VAT on houses, hospitals and Defense Systems.
My SUGGESTIONS-
WOOD-
Wood is one of the major boosts to our economy. We have a lot of wood companies operating here owned by foreigners. Most are owned by Iranians. By making tax 1-1-1 we will be helping their economy and not our own. So, I propose Wood tax to be as follows-
VAT - 0
Import Tax - 50
Income Tax - 10
This will not discourage any investors.
GRAIN
Grain is the most important and most consumed resource. This may sound ironical but is true. If we have iron and not grain, we cannot prosper. 1% Import tax on it is not done.
It should be like-
VAT - 0
Import Tax - 50
Income Tax - 4-8 (whatever is agreed upon)
INCOME TAX
Income tax is the most major source of income for the government. It should be kept around 5-9% as agreed but not drastically reduced to 1%.
I thank you for your time.

Comments
Anant I think its a bit unfair to disagree and also propose something which has not been requested in game when the President has not even announced his budget and plans yet, give him a chance dude then have the debate but as I say going against him before he has even proposed his ideas later today is unfair imo.
Plese, at least 24 hours talk these things before voting...
Vote NO!
Zere the President has requested for it to be past if possible and the forum is being revamped as we speak so debate would not be possible as the forum may go offline whilst the changes are made today to try get it active again and decluttered.
i fully support president on tax reforms.
jai hind!!
unhappy with lack of communication. would have loved it if the budget would have been proposed by the President first and then there should have been discussion on the same. The President has not yet made any statement on fiscal policy...
wow guys I see why I left Government, you guys have had hardly had any communication from the Gov for months and a new president comes in and works his arse of in first 24hrs and gets many reforms and changes underway and still your complaning.
The IGB has already stated a budget will be issued today and that a full audit of the Gov companies are underway as they were in a real mess, give the guy a chance.
Calm down guys, Patience.
PS: I am not unhappy with the President or his work, I am unhappy with this article and I believe this article must have been published after President's article.
Sorry Njofrinjo my misunderstanding 😉
I am completely for free market trade as an experiment. Currently teh companies may be mostly owned by Iranians but this is aimed to encourage our own people to setup companies and get people of other nations also coming in to EXPORT the wood at low rates.
Im not sure why the import tax is 1% - it should be 1% export tax 🙂
perhaps we should protect wood industry...
well i think we should give the free market a try. If we got unsuccessful, then we can reverse it. 😃
Cant we just keep 5% for all and let the market fight it out. 5% import is more than enough buffer for our business men. 5% vat and 5% income tax wont hurt anyone and will bring the needed income.
All this move monet from 1% to 99% and back and forth doesnt really show much faith.
Give 5% a chance (heck we have tried everything else havent we?)
