Senate Bill #23
"Imperial Tax Act"
Whereas, all nations require an income to pay for governmental services and expenditures, and
Whereas, Natopia is a nation that currently has no possibility of paying for and provideing services,
Be it resolved by this Grand Natopian Senate,
That, all Natopian citizens bear the burden of a 10% tax on their monthly income.
That, all Natopian owned organizations bear the burden of a 10% tax on their monthly revenue.
That, non-profit Natopian organizations may apply for tax exemptions through the Lower Ministry of Internal Affairs.
That, due to the nature of Natopia's economy, taxes will be deducted directly from a citizen's income as the income is deposited in the Imperial Bank of Natopia.
That, products sold in Natopia will have a 3% sales tax.
That, the taxes outlined in this Bill will go into effect one week after the passage of this Bill into Law.

What happens if you are a self-employed person? Do you have to pay 10% on your income and then another 10% on what your business gets? That's kinda like paying double.
Also, what exactly do these taxes go towards?

it is like paying double. but isnt that how it works in America?
the taxes are deposited directly into the Natopian treasury. officials' salaries come out of the treasury as well as any other expenditures that may arise.
