Nay - I am never a fan of taxes. And I don’t need every aspect of what I have taxed. I would prefer to keep the current tax brackets over implementing new areas to be taxed.

Fix My Bill and Amend the August Taxation Amendment

The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Amendment to the August Taxation Amendment ”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act was authored by Speaker of the House 218218Consumer.
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by Representative xlayzur.

2 - Reason
(1) I pasted in the wrong bill format and accidentally put a clause limiting the implementation of the August Taxation Amendment. My mistake should not inhibit our Congress's commitment to socioeconomic equality and plot accessibility on this server, and as a result, it is imperative that we fix it as soon as possible.
(2) This bill was rejected a few days ago, not because a majority disapproved of it, but because it failed to meet caretaker requirements.

3 - Terms
The implementation of the August Taxation Amendment shall no longer be dependent on the passage of the Corporate Balance Regulation Act.

The reason for me to nay this bill is basically because I think the bracket between $0.00 and $2499.99 shouldn't get taxed. They already have enough struggle with their balance to have to pay taxes. For the rest, I see as a good thing to raise taxes on the riches more than on the poor and working class.

BILL
To

Reduce Tax Evasion​

The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “December 2021 Tax Cuts and Loopholes Act”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted on the 1st of January.
(3) Authored by hugebob23456.
(4) Co-Sponsored by Bubba_Tea_.

2 - Reasons
(1) Currently many players stash their wealth away in corporate balances to avoid taxation indefinitely.
(2) With Corporate Taxes, we will be able to decrease the regular Personal Balance Tax across the board, which is a positive for the working class.
(3) Decreasing the tax rate in the 2nd bracket by 36% and the 3rd bracket by 25% will allow our citizens to keep a greater portion of their hard earned money.

3 - Terms
(1) Corporate Balances shall be taxed at a rate of 1% per week.
(2) The DEC may decide to grant or deny exemptions to non-profits and/or financial institutions on a case by case basis.
(3) All Towns are exempt from this tax rate, so long as the Town balance is used strictly for Town related purposes. Misuse of tax exempt Town accounts qualifies as Corruption.
(4) The Taxation Act shall be amended as follows:

(1) Personal balances between $0.00 and $2,499.99 (inclusive) shall be taxed at a rate of 0% weekly.
(2) Personal balances between $2,500.00 and $4,999.99 (inclusive) shall be taxed at a rate of 1.1% 0.7% weekly.
(3) Personal balances between $5,000.00 and $9,999.99 (inclusive) shall be taxed at a rate of 1.2% 0.9% weekly.
(4) Personal balances between $10,000.00 and $24,999.99 (inclusive) shall be taxed at a rate of 1.4% weekly.
(5) Personal balances between $25,000.00 and $49,999.99 (inclusive) shall be taxed at a rate of 1.6% weekly.
(6) Personal balances between $50,000.00 and $99,999.99 (inclusive) shall be taxed at a rate of 1.8% weekly.
(7) Personal balances of at least $100,000.00 shall be taxed at a rate of 2% weekly.

BILL
TO

Amend the Taxation Act​

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives and Senators in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Pruning Taxation Amendment Act”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately after it has been signed into law.
(3) Authored by Rep. Reaperay and Rep. xEndeavour
(4) Co-Sponsored by Rep. xEndeavour

2 - Reasons
(1) Currently prune taxation avoids 4+ months of regular taxation at reimbursement. This bill ensures that Government pruning does not act as a long-term savings account.
(2) A flat rate is easily calculable and a fair rate to encourage returning players to stay.

3 - Additions
(1) Subsection a will be amended to subsection b:
a. (2) The total of personal funds shall be returned to the citizen if they become active once again.
b. (2) The total of personal funds, excluding taxes, shall be returned to the citizen if they become active once again.
(2) Pruning Taxation will incur a 10% tax on any returned funds.

I wish the change my vote from an aye to a nay.
Reasons: I believe this bill goes against ex post facto. I won't support bills that do that.

The ex post facto deals with criminal offence charges.

This bill is to correct what is an administrative error in law. It is a pragmatic and reasonable resolution to a complex problem. What's the government going to do? Refund 4 months of tax which isn't tracked and logged?

The mischief this is correcting is a change in the City's name. The intent of the law is to charge tax on city properties.

If we want to debate this bill more, you are free to re propose it and we can have a proper discussion. But another point to make is that this acts as a pardon on the Government for a mistake we made, and only the president can pardon. While its not ideal, what precedent are we setting if we make a mistake as congress by not changing the city title, and just cover it up with another bill 4 months later.

This was pushed on the government by staff. The government was slow, but the intent hasn't changed - the city is taxable.

This is not a coverup, its a pragmatic solution. If this bill does not pass then we will continue to have this issue. The government cannot a. afford to pay everyone back and b. it has no logs.

A
BILL
To​

Amend the Taxation Act to include wild regions in the property taxes.

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the ‘Wild Region Tax Act'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by: Rep. RandomIntruder
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by: Dep. Sec. HiPerb

2 - Reasons
(1) The plugin right now does not easily allow region taxes to exclude wild regions.
(2) It is impossible to adjust the system to exclude them.
(3) Taxes are currently including the wild regions right now, so you won’t see your taxes change, this will just make it so that the government doesn’t get in trouble for something that is plugin based.
(4) Also removes a redundant part of the act.

3 - Amending the Taxation Act
(1) Section 8 of the Taxation Act shall now read:

8 - Terms of Property Taxation:
(1) Merged plots shall be counted as several plots and will be taxed as such.
(2) Plot taxes only apply to the City of Reveille and the wild, unless otherwise provided by Local Governments.
(3) Towns may request for the Federal Government to conduct plot taxation, where the Federal Government will then provide the taxed amount to the Town on the first day of every month.

(2) Section 4 of the Taxation Act shall be removed since it is redundant with the White Collar Crackdown Act.

(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) Authored by the Speaker of House. xLayzur
(4) This Act is sponsored by: Rep. Vernicia

2 - Reasons

(2) Property Tax starts at 4 plots instead of 3.

Nay - Taxation is already high enough for the government's needs. Chestshop sales also disproportionately impacts chestshop businesses more than other businesses.
