[NGP] Lowering Taxes & Congress Elections

Day 2,773, 17:06 • Published in Norway Denmark • by Joshua Morriseau


Lowering Taxes:
First off I want to begin by starting a debate on lowering the Import Tax on Weapons Raw Material or also known as WRM. Currently the rate sits at 10%. When WRM only sells for 0.02-0.03 each any imports are not going to make any money. At one point we used to have a low Import Tax but raised it to protect Norwegian WRM producers so that they were given priority and could make money.

However that has changed. I have been watching the market lately and you will notice there are currently only two reasonable offers (those being 0.03) even though people are used to paying only 0.02. It seems that the time has come for us to lower the Import Tax once again as we don't have enough Norwegian WRM producers to keep up the demand. We believe that by letting others import their products that our weapons manufacturers will no longer have to look to the black market to find what they need.

This could even lead to the possible price of weapons going down slightly. The state will have a better opportunity to make more money off more weapons being bought than WRM since there is no VAT Tax for WRM anyways.

Official Proposal: Lower the WRM Import Tax from 10% to 1%

The Norwegian Green Party hopes to seek unanimous support from all other parties and implement these new changes early in the new Congress term.

Please follow and voice your input on the proposal in the current forum discussion.

As you can see we have a full slate of candidates (10) which we are very excited about this term. We have a great mix of some of Norway's most experienced members along with some very new citizens who we hope can integrate nicely into Norway's political landscape.

This term we hope to of course pass the new proposal mentioned above to help stimulate Norway's economy as much as possible. We are also going to look at the possibility of lowering the Import Tax on weapons and possibly even the VAT on weapons. We want to see Norway become financially stable and independent as much as possible. By stimulating our economy through the governments means (raising and lowering taxes) we believe we can do this.

Along with this we will continue to work with our colleagues in Norway's other partys to ensure that our government continues to manage itself smoothly.

This election, vote Green!



New Party Members:

We have been lucky to have some new members join the NGP lately. Please join me in welcoming them along with adding them as friends. It is most important that we bring our new citizens into our society as much as possible to ensure they stay here in Norway and in eRepublik.
