Law proposal: WT change to 3% from 2%

Day 2,807, 16:25 Published in Australia Canada by Ilene Dover



Law Proposal:

I propose that we increase work tax from 2% to 3%.





Why:


Government revenue doesn't cover half our MPP stack, which needs private donations to maintain. At present, government takes 60-70k CC monthly in tax revenue. This will pay for about half of our 12 MPPs, leaving no savings and a deficit of 50-60k CC. Tax revenue therefore needs to increase, ideally while spending is decreased.


Experience from experimentation during earlier CP terms shows a 3% work tax, with VAT and import tax at 3% and 15% respectively (current levels), will increase tax revenue to approximately 100k CC/month.





How does this effect me?


Your tax paid through salary will increase. For example, on a 60CC salary you currently pay 1.2 CC in work tax. This will increase to 1.8 CC.


Your tax paid through work-as-manger will increase. Currently this is 1.09 CC/company. This will increase to 1.64 CC/company.





What do I need to do?


Debate the issue through comments. Senators, ministers citizens alike should express their opinion - this is a healthy way for a community to work out what it wants. Whether you agree or disagree with the proposal, it is important to explain why you do so. If you disagree, an alternative idea to solve our budget problem would be constructive.


If you are a Senator (Congress representative in official gamespeak) elected a few days ago you also need to visit the Voting Hall to cast your vote. The poll will close 24 hours after this article drops off (so about 16:30 on day 2810).
