Taxes: Tax rates are set by congress. Once congress has decided on the tax and voted for it, the tax will take immediate effect.
There are three type of taxes,
- V.A.T. (Value added Tax) - It adds on a tax after the price. Ex. original price is 10 USD, 10% tax when purchasing it would cost 11USD. (It is, simply put, a sales tax)
- Import Tax - Taxes any foreign products. If you are not a citizen of the market you are selling on, you will be charged by this tax. (It is basically a tariff)
- Income Tax - An income tax taxes the money you make on your job. If there is a 50% income tax, when you work for 100 USD, you will only make 50 USD.
