Taxes
The New Sarovian Budget is the financial backbone of the New Sarovian Empire, ensuring the stability, security, and prosperity of its people and of the country. However, that budget can’t exist without taxes to provide revenue for the government to fund it. Proposed at least every three months by the Minister of Finance with aid from the President of the Treasury Board, the Budget is carefully structured, and this structure includes taxation. The Taxes Act of 277 AS discusses the types of taxes that are imposed, which are:
- Income Tax, taxes on how much money people make according to the budget
- Corporate Tax, taxes on registered companies taken monthly in exchange for them being considered registered and allowed to operate
- Property Tax, taxes on owners of property based on how much land they own
- AFK Tax, taxes on members who are AFK in-game, which is illegal
- Social Tax, taxes on members who do something socially unacceptable according to Sarovian values
Government Salaries
Thanks to these taxes, the budget can do what it needs to do. One of the most important things though is the salaries that members of the government receive. They have different sizes based on who is receiving them as well as different types. These mostly are related to the levels of the civil service, like the Common Tier, Intermediate Tier, and Executive Tier as well as important jobs like Cabinet members, MPs and peers, the Prime Minister and important members of the imperial family.
There are also payments for members of the Sarovian military. These include:
- Reservist Enlisted
- Reservist Officers
- Enlisted
- Commissioned Officers
- Defense Staff members
