  I. City Taxes are placed upon various expenditures within the capital, Senntisten. This includes, but is not limited to: housing, lands, and mining privileges. City Taxes may be subject to change and are predominantly invested back in to the capital for expansion and administrative projects.

 

Currently the active CITY TAXATION within the Dual Kingdom of Renatus-Marna are as followed:

 

I. Mining Tax: The use of the mine, situated outside of the capital gates, is to be taxed. To receive access to the shaft the user must provide twenty four units of iron to the crown per saints week. To acquire access to the mines one must speak to a member of the royal administration. Failure to consistently provide appropriate tax to the Crown could ultimately result in restriction to the mine shaft.

 

  II. Feudal Taxes are the taxes placed upon the landed nobles of the Kingdom, the tax is a variable that changes depending upon your service to the Crown as well as the size of the nobles demesne. Failure to provide the required tax to the Crown will result in punishment which varies depending on the severity of the tax evasion.

Currently the active FEUDAL TAXATION within the Dual Kingdom of Renatus-Marna are limited to TIMES OF WAR and is as follows:

I. Free Settlements and Baronies: If fifty ((five)) able-bodied men, or more, are provided to the war efforts then they will be exempt from any feudal taxes. However, if less than the specified amount are provided then they will be subject to pay a tax of 1000 mina to the Crown or its value in assets. If less than half the quota is provided than they will be subject to pay a tax of 1500 mina to the Crown or its value in assets.

II. Counties: If one-hundred ((ten)) able-bodied men, or more, are provided to the war efforts then they will be exempt from any feudal taxes. However, if less than the specified amount are provided then they will be subject to pay a tax of 1500 mina to the Crown or its value in assets. If less than half the quota is provided than they will be subject to pay a tax of 2000 mina to the Crown or its value in assets.

II. Duchies: If one-hundred and fifty ((fifteen)) able-bodied men, or more, are provided to the war efforts then they will be exempt from any feudal taxes. However, if less are provided then they will be subject to pay a tax of 2000 mina to the Crown or its value in items. If less than half the quota is provided than they will be subject to pay a tax of 2500 mina to the Crown or its value in assets.

 

Feudal taxes are a vital necessity to the vitality of the Kingdom, which will be collected via the Lord Treasurer, from the landed nobles of the Kingdom before, during, or after war or conflict to help fund, repair or otherwise assist in war efforts. Alternatively, a tax can be requested upon His Royal Majesty's will.

 

However, if a considerable and sufficient amount of effort is provided to the war by other means, then it is possible for the taxes imposed upon a Noble for failing to meet their quota be relinquished if His Majesty, The King, deems as such.

 

All taxes are to be given immediately to the Crown, failure to do so will result in the collector to be branded as a thief and insubordinate to the Crown. Theft will result in imprisonment, or ultimately, execution.
