MoF End of Term Report

Day 3,001, 02:13 Published in Australia Australia by Reserve Bank of Australia


G'Day eAustralians!

With a new millennium comes a new line under the balance sheet. You'll also notice I added a day to this term to bring us into line with the cabinet term starting a day after polls close due to the 24 hour vote checking.

Aside from the weapons tax reductions, I have spend much of this term gathering data from producers and consumers, the results of which will be fed into more mid-term economic stimuli. Details of some of these proposals have already been mentioned by Ilene Dover, the incoming Prime Minister. I will make a report outlining the economic agenda for the coming term in the next few days.

Details of Tax revenue for the term of Day 2969, 06/01/2016 to Day 3000 06/02/2016

A large chunk of the extra $40,778 in tax revenue came from the stimulus of the damage booster event, however revenue in general has been up on last month and was projected to reach at least $100K even before the start of the event.

AU$121,808 Tax collected from eAustralian regions.
AU$622 Tax collected from eAustralian occupied regions of eSouth Africa during the current training war. This will be held over and returned at the end of the TW.

Average Daily Tax Revenue $3830
Maximum $7,342
Minimum $2,954

Current Rates of Taxation:

During this term there have been two changes in tax rates:

Weapons Import Tax reduced from 15% to 10%.
Weapons VAT reduced from 3% to 2%.





The Market:

There has been a slight decrease in the average wage to $56.72, despite an increase in the minimum wage from $1 to $5, although it may be some time before the effect of that is felt as it only affects new job listings.

Our Housing Bonus was 20% for the whole of the term, our Food Bonus was 60% for the whole of the term. We have just now temporarily acquired a 10% weapons bonus due to the training war with eSouth Africa.

The Housing market has wavered a little, with Q1 prices reaching around $650 at times, although the more ideal $450, which makes it economical for overtime on an $80 wage, can still be bought at times.

The Food market is fairly close to the $0.10 Q1 Base price, although prices around $0.11 have been more common since the beginning of the damage booster event. Global prices have experienced a similar trend.

The damage booster event made it easier for more eAustralian producers to compete with global prices which have been around $19-21 for Q7. This has lead to increased sales and increased taxation revenue. It will be difficult to gauge the full effect of the the tax decreases until global prices level off.

Raw Materials prices and other goods still appear to be trading close to international benchmarks.
